Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how corneal wound healing works by analyzing corneal limbal epithelial cell activities in cynomolgus monkeys through single-cell RNA sequencing.
- Researchers collected corneal limbal tissues at uninjured, 1-day, and 3-day healing stages to understand the transcriptional changes and cell migration involved in healing.
- The findings reveal nine distinct cell clusters, emphasizing the roles of different epithelial cells in healing, particularly highlighting the significance of transit amplifying cells in early healing through specific gene activation.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to identify hosts of hantavirus (HV) and understand its molecular epidemiology to aid in preventing hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS).
- Researchers captured 1,421 rodents in Chuxiong prefecture, finding that 5.15% tested positive for HV, predominantly belonging to Rattus norvegicus and Rattus flavipectus.
- The sequencing of positive specimens revealed that they were primarily Seoul type hantavirus, with significant genetic similarities to existing strains, indicating its widespread presence and potential risk in the local environment.
