Pre-eclampsia (PE) affects 5-8% of pregnancies and has detrimental effects on maternal-fetal health. PE is characterized by de novo hypertension after 20 wk of gestation and end-organ damage. Systemic inflammatory imbalance has been associated with PE, but its contribution to the pathology is poorly understood.

Objective: To evaluate differences in point-of-care (POC) variables obtained from arterial and jugular venous blood in dogs undergoing manual basic life support (BLS) and report changes over time.
Design: Experimental study.
Setting: Small animal research facility.
Pro-inflammatory CD4 T cells are major drivers of autoimmune diseases, yet therapies modulating T cell phenotypes to promote an anti-inflammatory state are lacking. Here, we identify T helper 17 (T17) cell plasticity in the kidneys of patients with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated glomerulonephritis on the basis of single-cell (sc) T cell receptor analysis and scRNA velocity. To uncover molecules driving T cell polarization and plasticity, we established an in vivo pooled scCRISPR droplet sequencing (iCROP-seq) screen and applied it to mouse models of glomerulonephritis and colitis.
