Article Abstract
Anaphylaxis is a life-threatening allergic reaction caused by cross-linking of high-affinity IgE antibodies on the surface of mast cells and basophils. Understanding the cellular mechanisms that lead to high-affinity IgE production is required to develop better therapeutics for preventing this severe reaction. A recently discovered population of T follicular helper T13 cells regulates the production of high-affinity IgE in mouse models of allergy and can also be found in patients with allergies with IgE antibodies against food or aeroallergens. Here we describe optimized protocols for identifying T13 cells in both mice and humans.

DNA G-quadruplex profiling in skeletal muscle stem cells reveals functional and mechanistic insights.

Background: DNA G-quadruplexes (G4s) are non-canonical secondary structures formed in guanine-rich DNA sequences and play important roles in modulating biological processes through a variety of gene regulatory mechanisms. Emerging G4 profiling allows global mapping of endogenous G4 formation.
Results: Here in this study, we map the G4 landscapes in adult skeletal muscle stem cells (MuSCs), which are essential for injury-induced muscle regeneration.
H2B.W2, a spermatocyte-specific histone variant, disrupts nucleosome stability, and reduces chromatin compaction.

Spermatogenesis is a highly regulated process that requires precise chromatin remodeling, which includes the incorporation of testis-specific histone variants. While several of these variants have been characterized, the role of H2B.W2, a member of the H2BW family, remains largely unclear.

In a previous research, galactose groups were introduced into the structure of zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc) to enhance water solubility and tumor-targeting ability for in vivo fluorescence imaging. Galactose-modified ZnPcs (T1-4) showed great potential as near-infrared optical probes in the diagnose of cancer. However, it had not yet been determined whether they could also serve as antitumor candidates for photodynamic therapy (PDT).

Background: Aquaporins 1 (AQP1), the first water channel protein, is involved in central and peripheral nociception. However, it remains unclear whether AQP1 contributes to visceral hypersensitivity. We hypothesize that AQP1 contributes to acetic acid-induced visceral hypersensitivity in a rat model of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and that electroacupuncture (EA) improves visceral hypersensitivity by down-regulating the expression of AQP1 in enteric glial cells (EGCs) and dorsal root ganglion (DRG).

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common dementia with progressive loss of cognitive functions. Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors have been approved as conventional pharmacotherapies for AD. Tacrine was the first AChE inhibitor introduced into clinics for AD; however, it was withdrawn from use in 2013 because of safety concerns.
