Article Abstract

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality with very limited therapeutic interventions, thus holding great hope for cardiac regenerative medicine. A recent work from Martin's laboratory reports their identification of a fetal-like cardiomyocyte progenitor, adult cardiomyocyte type 2 (aCM2), and its potential interactions with C3 cardiac fibroblasts and C3ar1 macrophages to form a regenerative cellular triad, which is only present in the regenerative heart models, YAP5SA-expressing adult hearts and neonatal hearts. The complement signaling is essential for cellular interactions in this regenerative triad. This Highlight summarizes these major findings and provides brief perspectives on the impact of this regenerative niche during cardiac regeneration in the future.

Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide, with ischemic stroke accounting for the majority of cases. Intercellular communication is critical to its prognostic impact, and extracellular vesicles (EVs) are an emerging important mechanism. EVs are increasingly recognized as key mediators of crosstalk between neurons and glial cells, affecting processes such as neuroinflammation, oxidative stress and tissue repair.

Transcription factor cooperation is essential for specifying the heterogeneous dendritic cell (DC) lineages that orchestrate adaptive immunity, yet how it drives subset diversification remains poorly understood. Here, we employed a sequential anchored screen of 70 transcription factors using direct cellular reprogramming to identify regulators that specify type 2 conventional DCs (cDC2s) and plasmacytoid DCs (pDCs). We identified PU.

Introduction: The rising demand for dental implants among the elderly population is challenged by age-related impairments in osteogenic regeneration, such as Wnt/β-catenin signaling decline, ROS-mediated cellular senescence (compromising osteoblast differentiation), and elevated pro-inflammatory cytokines (e.g. IL-6, TNF-α).

Machine learning driven semi-automated framework for yeast sporulation efficiency quantification using ilastik segmentation and Fiji nuclear enumeration.

Accurate quantification of yeast sporulation efficiency is essential for genetic studies, but manual counting remains time-consuming and susceptible to subjective bias. Although deep learning tools like cellpose provide automated solutions, there exists a compelling need for alternative approaches that enable the quantification of spores. Our methodology employs ilastik's texture-feature optimization to reliably segment sporulating mother cells, intentionally avoiding explicit tetrad discrimination to ensure robustness across diverse spore morphologies.
