Single-nuclei RNA-sequencing fails to detect molecular dysregulation in the preeclamptic placenta.

Introduction: Single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) revolutionized our understanding of tissue complexity in health and disease and revealed massive transcriptional dysregulation across placental cell classes in early-onset, but not late-onset preeclampsia (PE). However, the multinucleated syncytium is largely inaccessible to cell dissociation. Nuclei isolation and single-nuclei RNA-seq may be preferable in the placenta; not least considering compatibility with long-term tissue storage.

A telencephalon cell type atlas for goldfish reveals diversity in the evolution of spatial structure and cell types.

Teleost fish form the largest group of vertebrates and show a tremendous variety of adaptive behaviors, making them critically important for the study of brain evolution and cognition. The neural basis mediating these behaviors remains elusive. We performed a systematic comparative survey of the goldfish telencephalon.

Neuronal types in the mouse amygdala and their transcriptional response to fear conditioning.

The amygdala is a brain region primarily associated with emotional response. The use of genetic markers and single-cell transcriptomics can provide insights into behavior-associated cell state changes. Here we present a detailed cell-type taxonomy of the adult mouse amygdala during fear learning and memory consolidation.

Two distinct molecular faces of preeclampsia revealed by single-cell transcriptomics.

Introduction: Preeclampsia is a multisystemic, pregnancy-specific disorder united by new-onset hypertension but with considerable variation in clinical manifestation, onset, and severity. For symptoms to regress, delivery of the placenta is required. For symptoms to regress, delivery of the placenta is required, making the placenta central to preeclampsia pathophysiology.
