Increasing digesta viscosity altered nutrient transporter gene expression and decreased nutrient utilisation in -challenged birds.

1. Two experiments were conducted, the first was to investigate the effect of increasing digesta viscosity by dietary carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) on the growth performance and intestinal morphology and characteristics of healthy birds. The second experiment evaluated the impact of increased digesta viscosity in birds during an spp.

A PRMT5-ZNF326 axis mediates innate immune activation upon replication stress.

DNA replication stress (RS) is a widespread phenomenon in carcinogenesis, causing genomic instability and extensive chromatin alterations. DNA damage leads to activation of innate immune signaling, but little is known about transcriptional regulators mediating such signaling upon RS. Using a chemical screen, we identified protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) as a key mediator of RS-dependent induction of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs).

Spatially-resolved transcriptomics reveal macrophage heterogeneity and prognostic significance in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Macrophages are abundant immune cells in the microenvironment of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Macrophage estimation by immunohistochemistry shows varying prognostic significance across studies in DLBCL, and does not provide a comprehensive analysis of macrophage subtypes. Here, using digital spatial profiling with whole transcriptome analysis of CD68+ cells, we characterize macrophages in distinct spatial niches of reactive lymphoid tissues (RLTs) and DLBCL.

Targeting the DNA damage response in hematological malignancies.

Deregulation of the DNA damage response (DDR) plays a critical role in the pathogenesis and progression of many cancers. The dependency of certain cancers on DDR pathways has enabled exploitation of such through synthetically lethal relationships e.g.
