Article Abstract

Tracking stem cells and committed progenitor behavior at the single-cell level in human skin has been challenging both in vivo and in vitro. Live-cell imaging has allowed for significant advances in the ability to identify differences between keratinocyte stem cells and committed progenitor behavior. Live-cell imaging is an evolving and somewhat challenging method to study keratinocyte behavior in vitro. This protocol has been developed to culture keratinocytes at low seeding density, enabling relatively long-term time-lapse photography and monitoring of individual cell behavior. Passage 0 keratinocytes are grown at clonal density, and time-lapse photography allows documentation of individual cell divisions and the time of their occurrence. For maximum biological relevance, freshly isolated human keratinocytes are placed in vitro. This approach focuses on proliferation. However, this protocol can be adapted for use in other live cell imaging applications measuring individual cell behavior, such as measuring cell migration, wound healing, and motility.

Background: There is increasing interest in using patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) to assess quality of life (QoL) following hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT). However, there is limited consensus on how such data should be collected within HCT services. This survey study investigated health professionals (HCPs) views towards QoL data collection and factors affecting the use of PROMs within HCT centres in the UK.

Individuals with progressive liver failure risk dying without liver transplantation. However, our understanding of why regenerative responses are disrupted in failing livers is limited. Here, we perform multiomic profiling of healthy and diseased human livers using bulk and single-nucleus RNA- and ATAC-seq.

Actin cytoskeleton remodelling drives the migration of immune cells and their engagement in dynamic cell-cell contacts. The importance of actin cytoskeleton dynamics in immune cell function is highlighted by the discovery of inborn errors of immunity (IEIs) that are caused by defects in individual actin-regulatory proteins, resulting in immune-related actinopathies. In addition to susceptibility to infection, these often present with a vast array of autoimmune and autoinflammatory manifestations.

Essential tremor (ET) is a common neurological disease that is characterized by 4-12 Hz kinetic tremors of the upper limbs and high genetic heterogeneity. Although numerous candidate genes and loci have been reported, the etiology of ET remains unclear. A novel ET-related gene was initially identified in a five-generation family via whole-exome sequencing, and other variants were identified in 772 familial ET probands and 640 sporadic individuals via whole-genome sequencing.

With the approval of the antibody-drug conjugate enfortumab vedotin (EV), NECTIN4 has emerged as a bona fide therapeutic target in urothelial carcinoma (UC). Here, we report the development of a NECTIN4-directed chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell, which exhibits reactivity across cells expressing a range of endogenous NECTIN4, with enhanced activity in high expressors. We demonstrate that the PPARγ pathway, critical for luminal differentiation, transcriptionally controls NECTIN4, and that the PPARγ agonist rosiglitazone primes and augments NECTIN4 expression, thereby increasing sensitivity to NECTIN4-CAR T cell-mediated killing.
