Spatially resolved transcriptomic technologies are promising tools to study complex biological processes such as mammalian embryogenesis. However, the imbalance between resolution, gene capture, and field of view current methodologies precludes their systematic application analyze relatively large three-dimensional mid- late-gestation embryos. Here, we combined DNA nanoball (DNB)-patterned arrays in situ RNA capture create spatial enhanced resolution omics-sequencing (Stereo-seq). We applied...
Iron homeostasis is essential for health; moreover, hepcidin-deficiency results in iron overload both hereditary hemochromatosis and iron-loading anemia. Here, we identified modulators by functionally screening hepcidin agonists using a library of 640 FDA-approved drugs human hepatic Huh7 cells. We validated the C57BL/6J mice mouse model (Hfe-/- mice). Our screen revealed that anti-rheumatoid arthritis drug auranofin (AUR) potently upregulates expression. Interestingly, found canonical...

Elucidating the cellular organization of cerebral cortex is critical for understanding brain structure and function. Using large-scale single-nucleus RNA sequencing spatial transcriptomic analysis 143 macaque cortical regions, we obtained a comprehensive atlas 264 transcriptome-defined cell types mapped their distribution across entire cortex. We characterized layer region preferences glutamatergic, GABAergic, non-neuronal types, as well regional differences in cell-type composition...
Essential genes are those whose loss of function compromises organism viability or results in profound fitness. Recent gene-editing technologies have provided new opportunities to characterize essential genes. Here, we present an integrated analysis that comprehensively and systematically elucidates the genetic regulatory characteristics human First, found act as 'hubs' protein-protein interaction networks, chromatin structure epigenetic modification. Second, represent conserved biological...
microRNAs (miRNAs) have been a class of promising disease diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets for their important biological functions. However, because the high homology, interference from precursors (pri-miRNA, pre-miRNA), as well limitations in current assay technologies, it poses demand challenge specific, efficient, economic miRNA method. Here, we propose new detection method based on label-free probe small organic dye with sequence dependence, realizing sequence-specific...
Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) technologies allow numerous opportunities for revealing novel and potentially unexpected biological discoveries. scRNA-seq clustering helps elucidate cell-to-cell heterogeneity uncover cell subgroups dynamics at the group level. Two important aspects of data analysis were introduced discussed in present review: relevant datasets analytical tools. In particular, we reviewed popular models including K-means clustering, hierarchical consensus so on. Seven...
Cells do not live in a vacuum, but milieu defined by cell–cell communication that can be measured via emerging high-resolution spatial transcriptomics approaches. However, analytical tools fully leverage such data for kinetic modeling remain lacking. Here we present Spateo ( aristoteleo/spateo-release ), general framework quantitative spatiotemporal of single-cell resolution transcriptomics. delivers novel methods digitizing layers/columns to identify spatially-polar genes, and develops...
Abstract Metabolic reprogramming, a hallmark of cancer, is closely associated with tumor development and progression. Changes in glycolysis play crucial role conferring radiation resistance to cells. How changes the status cancer cells still unclear. Here we revealed TAB182 regulating lactate production cellular response ionizing radiation. Irradiation can significantly stimulate protein, inhibiting increases radiosensitivity. Proteomic analysis indicated that influences several vital...
Single-cell chromatin accessibility sequencing (scCAS) has emerged as a valuable tool for interrogating and elucidating epigenomic heterogeneity gene regulation. However, scCAS data inherently suffers from limitations such high sparsity dimensionality, which pose significant challenges downstream analyses. Although several methods are proposed to enhance data, there still that hinder the effectiveness of these methods. Here, we propose scCASE, enhancement method based on non-negative matrix...
This study utilizes the danmaku on Bilibili platform as research subject to examine how their characteristics vary according nature or focus of English teaching videos. By employing social network analysis, reveals distinctive features in danmaku. For videos categorized under linguistic knowledge (phonetics, vocabulary, and grammar), comments predominantly center around topics such phonetics, grammar. Conversely, language skills (listening, speaking, reading writing), primarily reflect a...
