Guided monocyte fate to FRβ/CD163 S1 macrophage antagonises atopic dermatitis via fibroblastic matrices in mouse hypodermis.

Macrophages are versatile myeloid leukocytes with flexible cellular states to perform diverse tissue functions beyond immunity. This plasticity is however often hijacked by diseases to promote pathology. Scanning kinetics of macrophage states by single-cell transcriptomics and flow cytometry, we observed atopic dermatitis drastically exhausted a resident subtype S1.

Effect of romosozumab administration on proximal junctional kyphosis in corrective spinal fusion surgery.

Background Context: The effect of romosozumab administration in patients undergoing corrective spinal fusion surgery has not yet been analyzed.

Purpose: To examine the effect of romosozumab administration on reducing the incidence of proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK), particularly PJK due to fractures (PJK-Fx), in patients undergoing spinal corrective fusion surgery.

Design: Retrospective cohort study.

Evaluation of the digestion protocol of mouse neonatal epidermis for single-cell RNA sequencing.

The skin is primarily composed of keratinocytes and forms an effective barrier between the organism and external environment. Neonatal skin analysis is essential for understanding developmental processes and rare skin diseases. However, efficient single-cell dissociation methods for the neonatal mouse epidermis remain underexplored.

Is Intraoperative Blood Loss Volume in Elderly Cervical Spine Injury Surgery Greater in Patients with Ankylosis? A Multicenter Survey.

Introduction: Preoperative estimations of blood loss are important when planning surgery for cervical spine injuries in older adults. The association between ankylosis and blood loss in perioperative management is of particular interest. This multicenter database review aimed to evaluate the impact of ankylosis on surgical blood loss volume in elderly patients with cervical spine injury.

Single-cell transcriptomic profiling of lung fibroblasts in a bleomycin-induced systemic sclerosis mouse model.

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a complex autoimmune disease characterized by fibrosis, vascular abnormalities, and immune dysfunction, with no definitive cure. Patients with progressive pulmonary fibrosis face a high mortality risk, underscoring the urgent need for effective treatments. Although fibroblasts are recognized as key drivers of fibrosis, the precise molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood.
