HemaCisDB: An Interactive Database for Analyzing Cis-Regulatory Elements Across Hematopoietic Malignancies.

Noncoding cis-regulatory elements (CREs), such as transcriptional enhancers, are key regulators of gene expression programs. Accessible chromatin and H3K27ac are well-recognized markers for CREs associated with their biological function. Deregulation of CREs is commonly found in hematopoietic malignancies yet the extent to which CRE dysfunction contributes to pathophysiology remains incompletely understood.

Enantioselective copper-catalyzed B-H bond insertion reaction of α-diazo phosphonates to access chiral α-boryl phosphonates.

Chiral phosphorus-containing compounds find applications across various fields, including asymmetric catalysis, medicinal chemistry, and materials science. Despite the abundance of reported highly enantioselective methods for synthesizing various chiral phosphorus compounds, the enantioselective synthesis of α-boryl phosphorus compounds still remains an unknown territory. Here, we report a method for the construction of chiral α-boryl phosphates by asymmetric B-H insertion reaction using α-diazo phosphates as carbene precursors, cheap and readily available copper salt as the catalyst and chiral oxazoline as the ligand.

Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells from human pluripotent stem cell-derived brain organoid enhance the ex vivo expansion and maintenance of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells.

Background: Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) are of great therapeutic value due to their role in maintaining the function of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs). MSCs derived from human pluripotent stem cells represent an ideal alternative because of their unlimited supply. However, the role of MSCs with neural crest origin derived from HPSCs on the maintenance of HSPCs has not been reported.

Construction of boron-stereogenic compounds via enantioselective Cu-catalyzed desymmetric B-H bond insertion reaction.

Compared with the well-developed carbon-stereogenic chemistry, the construction of boron-stereogenic compounds remains undeveloped and challenging. Herein, the previously elusive catalytic enantioselective construction of boron-stereogenic compounds has been achieved through enantioselective desymmetric B-H bond insertion reaction. The B-H bond insertion reaction of 2-arylpyridine-boranes with versatile diazo compounds under chiral copper catalyst can afford boron-stereogenic compounds with good to excellent enantioselectivity.

Inhibition of aryl hydrocarbon receptor signaling promotes the terminal differentiation of human erythroblasts.

The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) plays an important role during mammalian embryo development. Inhibition of AHR signaling promotes the development of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells. AHR also regulates the functional maturation of blood cells, such as T cells and megakaryocytes.

[Investigation on migration regularity and schistosome infection of migrant population in mountainous regions].

Objective: To understand the migration regulation, knowledge of schistosomiasis control and infection status of migrant population in mountainous regions.

Method: Migrants from history heavy endemic villages of schistosomiasis were selected by the convenience sampling method, then they were investigated by questionnaire and fecal examination.

Results: A total of 884 migrants were investigated, the infection rate was 2.
