Protein localization data are a valuable information resource helpful in elucidating eukaryotic protein function. Here, we report the first proteome-scale analysis of within any eukaryote. Using directed topoisomerase I-mediated cloning strategies and genome-wide transposon mutagenesis, have epitope-tagged 60% Saccharomyces cerevisiae proteome. By high-throughput immunolocalization tagged gene products, determined subcellular 2744 yeast proteins. Extrapolating these through computational...
Spatial omics emerged as a new frontier of biological and biomedical research. Here, we present spatial-CUT&Tag for spatially resolved genome-wide profiling histone modifications by combining in situ CUT&Tag chemistry, microfluidic deterministic barcoding, next-generation sequencing. Spatially chromatin states mouse embryos revealed tissue-type-specific epigenetic regulations concordance with ENCODE references provide spatial information at tissue scale. Spatial-CUT&Tag control the cortical...

The hippocampal-entorhinal system supports cognitive functions, has lifelong neurogenic capabilities in many species, and is selectively vulnerable to Alzheimer's disease. To investigate potential cellular diversity, we profiled single-nucleus transcriptomes five subregions humans, macaques, pigs. Integrated cross-species analysis revealed robust transcriptomic histologic signatures of neurogenesis the adult mouse, pig, macaque but not humans. Doublecortin (DCX), a widely accepted marker...
Abstract Emerging spatial technologies, including transcriptomics and epigenomics, are becoming powerful tools for profiling of cellular states in the tissue context 1–5 . However, current methods capture only one layer omics information at a time, precluding possibility examining mechanistic relationship across central dogma molecular biology. Here, we present two technologies spatially resolved, genome-wide, joint epigenome transcriptome by cosequencing chromatin accessibility gene...
Abstract In this study, we extended co-indexing of transcriptomes and epitopes (CITE) to the spatial dimension demonstrated high-plex protein whole transcriptome co-mapping. We profiled 189 proteins in multiple mouse tissue types with CITE sequencing then further applied method measure 273 human tissues, revealing spatially distinct germinal center reactions tonsil early immune activation skin at Coronavirus Disease 2019 mRNA vaccine injection site.
The capability to spatially explore RNA biology in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues holds transformative potential for histopathology research. Here, we present pathology-compatible deterministic barcoding tissue (Patho-DBiT) by combining situ polyadenylation and computational innovation spatial whole transcriptome sequencing, tailored probe the diverse species clinically archived FFPE samples. It permits co-profiling of gene expression processing, unveiling region-specific...
Plants are complex systems hierarchically organized and composed of various cell types. To understand the molecular underpinnings plant systems, single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) has emerged as a powerful tool for revealing high resolution gene expression patterns at cellular level investigating cell-type heterogeneity. Furthermore, scRNA-seq analysis biosystems great potential generating new knowledge to inform design synthetic biology, which aims modify plants...
Background Small molecules have been shown to modulate the neurogenesis processes. In search for new therapeutic drugs, herbs used in traditional medicines are promising candidates. Methodology and Principal Findings We selected a total of 45 natural compounds from Traditional Chinese herbal which extensively China treat stroke clinically, tested their proliferation-inducing activities on neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs). The screening results showed that salvianolic acid B (Sal B)...
Exosomes play important roles in mediating intercellular communication and regulating a variety of biological processes, but clear understanding their functions biogenesis has not been achieved, due to the high technical difficulties involved analysis small vesicular structures that contain proportion membrane structures. Herein, we designed novel approach integrate two nanomaterials carrying varied surface properties, hydrophilic, macroporous graphene foam (GF) amphiphilic periodic...

Abstract Hippocampal circuitry stimulation is sufficient to regulate adult hippocampal neurogenesis and ameliorate depressive‐like behavior, but its underlying mechanism remains unclear. Here, it shown that inhibition of medial septum (MS)‐dentate gyrus (DG) circuit reverses the chronic social defeat stress (CSDS)‐induced depression‐like behavior. Further analysis exhibits gamma‐aminobutyric acidergic neurons in MS projecting DG (MS GABA+ ‐DG) increases expression platelet‐derived growth...

Simple tuning of a host:guest pair allows selective sensing different peptide modifications, exploiting orthogonal recognition mechanisms. Excellent selectivity for either lysine trimethylations or alcohol phosphorylations is possible by simply varying the fluorophore guest. The phosphorylation sensor can be modulated presence small (μM) concentrations metal ions, allowing array-based sensing. Phosphorylation at serine, threonine, and tyrosine selectively sensed via discriminant analysis....
Concern over potential neurotoxicity of anesthetics has led to growing interest in prospective clinical trials using potentially less toxic anesthetic regimens, especially for prolonged anesthesia infants. Preclinical studies suggest that dexmedetomidine may have a reduced neurotoxic profile compared other conventional regimens; however, coadministration with either drugs (eg, remifentanil) and/or regional blockade is required achieve adequate surgery. The feasibility this pharmacological...
Background Latent tuberculosis infection affects about one-quarter of the global population and can progress to active tuberculosis. Hematological inflammatory markers, such as systemic immune-inflammation index, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, platelet-to-lymphocyte monocyte-to-lymphocyte reflect inflammation immune status but are understudied in latent infection. This study investigates association between these markers a nationally representative sample. Methods Data from 7,042...
