Liver transplantation is the only curative option for end-stage liver disease and is necessary for an increasing number of patients with advanced primary or secondary liver cancer. Many patient groups can benefit from this treatment, however the shortage of liver grafts remains an unsolved problem. Liver bioengineering offers a promising method for expanding the donor pool through the production of acellular scaffolds that can be seeded with recipient cells.

Here, we describe Antigen-TCR Pairing and Multiomic Analysis of T-cells (APMAT), an integrated experimental-computational framework designed for the high-throughput capture and analysis of CD8 T cells, with paired antigen, TCR sequence, and single-cell transcriptome. Starting with 951 putative antigens representing a comprehensive survey of the SARS-CoV-2 viral proteome, we utilize APMAT for the capture and single cell analysis of CD8 T cells from 62 HLA A*02:01 COVID-19 participants.

Background: Unexplained recurrent miscarriage (RM) is still an unsolved reproductive health problem. Inherited thrombophilias have been one of the causes. Mutation in genes encoding coagulation proteins, including prothrombin (PT G20210A) and methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) genes, increase tendency for venous thromboembolism.

Oxysterols, as metabolites of cholesterol, play a key role in cholesterol homeostasis, autophagosome formation, and regulation of immune responses. Disorders in oxysterol metabolism are closely related to the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases. To systematically investigate the profound molecular regulatory mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases, it is necessary to quantify oxysterols and their metabolites in central and peripheral biospecimens simultaneously and accurately.

The Waddington landscape was initially proposed to depict cell differentiation, and has been extended to explain phenomena such as reprogramming. The landscape serves as a concrete representation of cellular differentiation potential, yet the precise representation of this potential remains an unsolved problem, posing significant challenges to reconstructing the Waddington landscape. The characterization of cellular differentiation potential relies on transcriptomic signatures of known markers typically.
