Exploring Differentially Expressed Genes and Immune Modulation in Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma through RNA Sequencing Analysis.

Background: Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is globally recognized as the most prevalent and aggressive subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. While conventional treatments are effective initially, the disease can become resistant or relapse over time. This study aimed to examine the differentially expressed genes at the transcriptome level and molecular pathways in DLBCL patients.

How Mycobacterium tuberculosis builds a home: Single-cell analysis reveals M. tuberculosis ESX-1-mediated accumulation of anti-inflammatory macrophages in infected mouse lungs.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) infects and replicates in lung mononuclear phagocytes (MNPs) with astounding ability to evade elimination. ESX-1, a type VII secretion system, acts as a virulence determinant that contributes to MTB's ability to survive within MNPs, but its effect on MNP recruitment and/or differentiation remains unknown. Here, using single-cell RNA sequencing, we studied the role of ESX-1 in MNP heterogeneity and response in mice and murine bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM).
