    Time-dependent cell-state selection identifies transiently expressed genes regulating ILC2 activation

    The decision of whether cells are activated or not is controlled through dynamic intracellular molecular networks. However, the low population of cells during the transition state of activation renders the ana...

    Whole-embryonic identification of maternal microchimeric cell types in mouse using single-cell RNA sequencing

    Even though the mother and the fetus of placental mammals are immunologically non-self with respect to one other, mutual exchange of small numbers of cells between them is known to occur. Maternal cells enteri...

    Time-Lapse Imaging of Necroptosis and DAMP Release at Single-Cell Resolution

    Necroptosis is a regulated form of necrosis that depends on receptor-interacting protein kinase (RIPK)3 and mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein (MLKL). Necroptotic cells release a variety of cellular and ...

    A20 prevents inflammasome-dependent arthritis by inhibiting macrophage necroptosis through its ZnF7 ubiquitin-binding domain

    Deficiency in the deubiquitinating enzyme A20 causes severe inflammation in mice, and impaired A20 function is associated with human inflammatory diseases. A20 has been implicated in negatively regulating NF-κ...
