Macrophages play a crucial role in the immune response during allograft rejection in organ transplantation. Therefore, our study aimed to explore the genomic features of macrophages in mouse heart transplants and use single-cell RNA sequencing to investigate Galectin-9 (Gal-9, Lgals9), a lectin that can mediate the activation and differentiation of immune cells through ligand-receptor interactions, and the effects of its regulation in transplantation. We discovered a new subset of macrophages called "Myoz2+ macrophages", which specifically expressed genes related to myocardial contraction.

Introduction: Inflammation is a vital immune response, tightly orchestrated through both biochemical and biophysical cues. Dysregulated inflammation contributes to chronic diseases, highlighting the need for novel therapies that modulate immune responses with minimal side effects. While several biochemical pathways of inflammation are well understood, the influence of physical properties such as substrate curvature on immune cell behavior remains underexplored.

Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) and smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM) are premalignant stages in the development of multiple myeloma (MM). Advances in detection, risk stratification, and therapeutic intervention have transformed our understanding of disease progression. Sensitive techniques like mass spectrometry have identified smaller monoclonal gammopathies, such as monoclonal gammopathy of indeterminate potential (MGIP), which may precede MGUS.

Desmoplastic fibroblastoma (collagenous fibroma) is a rare, benign fibroblastic/myofibroblastic tumor that usually arises in the subcutaneous and intramuscular tissues. This tumor type has rarely been described to arise primarily in bones. This is a case of intraosseous desmoplastic fibroblastoma occurring in the mandible of a 35-year-old woman that was detected incidentally during a routine dental examination.
