Glucose is a major source of energy for the brain. At the blood-brain barrier (BBB), glucose uptake is facilitated by glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1). GLUT1 Deficiency Syndrome (GLUT1DS), a haploinsufficiency affecting SLC2A1, reduces glucose brain uptake.

The tertiary lymphoid structure (TLS) is recognized as a potential prognosis factor for breast cancer and is strongly associated with response to immunotherapy. Inducing TLS neogenesis can enhance the immunogenicity of tumors and improve the efficacy of immunotherapy. However, our understanding of TLS associated region at the single-cell level remains limited.

Members of the KMT2C/D-KDM6A complex are recurrently mutated in urothelial carcinoma and in histologically normal urothelium. Here, using genetically engineered mouse models, we demonstrate that Kmt2c/d knockout in the urothelium led to impaired differentiation, augmented responses to growth and inflammatory stimuli and sensitization to oncogenic transformation by carcinogen and oncogenes. Mechanistically, KMT2D localized to active enhancers and CpG-poor promoters that preferentially regulate the urothelial lineage program and Kmt2c/d knockout led to diminished H3K4me1, H3K27ac and nascent RNA transcription at these sites, which leads to impaired differentiation.

Maturation of αβ lineage T cells in the thymus relies on the formation and cell surface expression of a pre-T cell receptor (TCR) complex, composed of TCRβ chain and pre-TCRα (pTCRα) chain heterodimers, giving rise to a diverse T cell repertoire. Genetic aberrations in key molecules involved in T cell development lead to profound T cell immunodeficiency. Definitive genetic diagnosis guides treatment choices and counseling.

Preclinical models of age-related osteoporosis have been developed based on the accumulation and clearance of senescent cells. The former include animal models based on telomere dysfunction and focal radiation; the latter based on genetic and pharmacological targeting (i.e.
