Abstract The scarcity of accessible sites that are dynamic or cell type-specific in plants may be due part to tissue heterogeneity bulk studies. To assess the effects heterogeneity, we apply single-cell ATAC-seq Arabidopsis thaliana roots and identify thousands differentially sites, sufficient resolve all major types root. We find entirety a cell’s regulatory landscape its transcriptome independently capture type identity. leverage this shared information on identity integrate accessibility...
The oxidative tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle is a central mitochondrial pathway integrating catabolic conversions of NAD +to NADH and anabolic production aspartate, key amino for cell proliferation. Several TCA components are implicated in tumorigenesis, including loss-of-function mutations subunits succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), also known as complex II the electron transport chain (ETC), but mechanistic understanding how proliferating cells tolerate metabolic defects SDH loss still...
Abstract Metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer remains incurable regardless of recent therapeutic advances. Prostate tumors display highly glycolytic phenotypes as the progresses. Nonspecific inhibitors glycolysis have not been utilized successfully for chemotherapy, because their penchant to cause systemic toxicity. This study reports preclinical activity, safety, and pharmacokinetics a novel small-molecule candidate, BKIDC-1553, with antiglycolytic activity. We tested large...
Abstract In plants, chromatin accessibility – the primary mark of regulatory DNA is relatively static across tissues and conditions. This scarcity accessible sites that are dynamic or tissue-specific may be due in part to tissue heterogeneity previous bulk studies. To assess effects heterogeneity, we apply single-cell ATAC-seq A. thaliana roots identify thousands differentially sites, sufficient resolve all major cell types root. However, even this vast increase relative studies number does...
Placentation presents immune conflict between mother and fetus, yet in normal pregnancy maternal immunity against infection is maintained without expense to fetal tolerance. This believed result from adaptations at the maternal-fetal interface (MFI) which affect T cell programming, but identities (i.e., memory subsets antigenic specificities) of cells signals that mediate fates functions MFI remain poorly understood. We found intact recruitment programs as well pro-inflammatory cytokine...
