Open AccessDeep learning enables accurate clustering with batch effect removal in single-cell RNA-seq analysis
Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) can characterize cell types and states through unsupervised clustering, but the ever increasing number of cells and batch effect impose computational challenges. We prese...

Open AccessSIRT6 safeguards human mesenchymal stem cells from oxidative stress by coactivating NRF2
SIRT6 belongs to the mammalian homologs of Sir2 histone NAD+-dependent deacylase family. In rodents, SIRT6 deficiency leads to aging-associated degeneration of mesodermal tissues. It remains unknown whether human...
