Article Abstract
The totipotent zygote gives rise to diverse cell types through a series of well-orchestrated regulatory mechanisms. Epigenetic modifiers play an essential, though still poorly understood, role in the transition from pluripotency towards organogenesis. However, recent advances in single-cell technologies have enabled an unprecedented, high-resolution dissection of this crucial developmental window, highlighting more cell-type-specific functions of these ubiquitous regulators. In this review, we discuss and contextualize several recent studies that explore epigenetic regulation during mouse embryogenesis, emphasizing the opportunities presented by single-cell technologies, in vivo perturbation approaches as well as advanced in vitro models to characterize dynamic developmental transitions.

Objective: The key molecular events signifying the -induced gastric carcinogenesis process are largely unknown.
Methods: Bulk tissue-proteomics profiling were leveraged across multi-stage gastric lesions from Linqu ( = 166) and Beijing sets ( = 99) and single-cell transcriptomic profiling ( = 18) to decipher key molecular signatures of -related gastric lesion progression and gastric cancer (GC) development. The association of key proteins association with gastric lesion progression and GC development were prospectively studied building on follow-up of the Linqu set and UK Biobank ( = 48,529).

Periodontal disease (PD) is a common and complex oral health problem that affects teeth and gums, leading to tooth loss, misalignment, and infection, with significant impact. Identifying the cause and developing new treatments is crucial. This study employed Mendelian randomization (MR), single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), and integrated transcriptomics to identify key gene signatures associated with periodontitis.

Polyploid giant cancer cells (PGCCs) represent a unique and distinct subset of cancer cells, characterized by either an abnormally large nucleus or the presence of multiple nuclei within a single cell. An increasing body of evidence indicates that PGCCs are closely linked to cancer progression, therapeutic resistance, and poor clinical prognosis. However, despite their distinctive morphology, no universal marker has been identified to reliably distinguish PGCCs from other cancer cell populations.

Human activities have introduced a wide range of contaminants into aquatic ecosystems, posing substantial ecological and health risks. Robust bioindicators are essential for accurately predicting these impacts. Since the early 1980s, planarians-freshwater flatworms known for their remarkable regenerative ability and neurologically relevant system-have been used in ecotoxicology, witnessing renewed scientific interest post-2010.
