In aging, skeletal muscle regeneration declines due to alterations in both myogenic and non-myogenic cells and their interactions. This regenerative dysfunction is not understood comprehensively or with high spatiotemporal resolution. We collected an integrated atlas of 273,923 single-cell transcriptomes and high-resolution spatial transcriptomic maps from muscles of young, old and geriatric mice (~5, 20 and 26 months old) at multiple time points following myotoxin injury. We identified eight immune cell types that displayed accelerated or delayed dynamics by age. We observed muscle stem cell states and trajectories specific to old and geriatric muscles and evaluated their association with senescence by scoring experimentally derived and curated gene signatures in both single-cell and spatial transcriptomic data. This revealed an elevation of senescent-like muscle stem cell subsets within injury zones uniquely in aged muscles. This Resource provides a holistic portrait of the altered cellular states underlying muscle regenerative decline across mouse lifespan.

Refractory cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is a severe complication following umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT). Antiviral agents, the standard first-line therapy, are limited by toxicity and resistance without robust T-cell immunity. We evaluated third-party donor (TPD)-derived CMV-specific T cells (CMVSTs) as a treatment option.

Background: Fish are the largest group of vertebrates. Studying the characteristics, functions, and interactions of different fish cells is important for understanding their roles in disease and evolution. However, most single cell RNA-seq studies in fish are restricted to a few specific organs, leaving a comprehensive cell landscape that aims to characterize the heterogeneity and connections among body-wide organs largely unexplored.

Background And Purpose: Neuroinflammation is increasingly recognised to contribute to drug-resistant epilepsy. Activation of ATP-gated P2X7 receptors has emerged as an important upstream mechanism, and increased P2X7 receptor expression is present in the seizure focus in rodent models and patients. Pharmacological antagonists of P2X7 receptors attenuate seizures in rodents, but this has not been explored in human neural networks.

Endothelial Colony-Forming Cells (ECFCs) are recognized as key vasculogenic progenitors in humans and serve as valuable liquid biopsies for diagnosing and studying vascular disorders. In a groundbreaking study, Anceschi et al. present a novel, integrative strategy that combines ECFCs loaded with gold nanorods (AuNRs) to enhance tumor radiosensitization through localized hyperthermia.

The emergence of organoid models has significantly bridged the gap between traditional cell cultures/animal models and authentic human disease states, particularly for genetic disorders, where their inherent genetic fidelity enables more biologically relevant research directions and enhances translational validity. This review systematically analyzes established organoid models of genetic diseases across organs (e.g.
