Unlabelled: Analysis of the composition of heterogeneous tissue has been greatly enabled by recent developments in single-cell transcriptomics. We present SCell, an integrated software tool for quality filtering, normalization, feature selection, iterative dimensionality reduction, clustering and the estimation of gene-expression gradients from large ensembles of single-cell RNA-seq datasets. SCell is open source, and implemented with an intuitive graphical interface. Scripts and protocols for the high-throughput pre-processing of large ensembles of single-cell, RNA-seq datasets are provided as an additional resource.
Availability And Implementation: Binary executables for Windows, MacOS and Linux are available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/scell, source code and pre-processing scripts are available from https://github.com/diazlab/SCellSupplementary information: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

Rotator cuff tendon injuries often lead to shoulder pain and dysfunction. Traditional treatments such as surgery and physical therapy can provide temporary relief, but it is difficult to achieve complete healing of the tendon, mainly because of the limited repair capacity of the tendon cells. Therefore, it is particularly urgent to explore new treatment methods.

Background And Purpose: The characteristics and role of NOD-like receptor (NLR) signaling pathway in high-grade gliomas were still unclear. This study aimed to reveal the association of NLR with clinical heterogeneity of glioblastoma (GBM) patients, and to explore the role of NLR pathway hub genes in the occurrence and development of GBM.
Methods: Transcriptomic data from 496 GBM patients with complete prognostic information were obtained from the TCGA, GEO, and CGGA databases.

Recently, exportin gene family members have been demonstrated to play essential roles in tumor progression. However, research on the clinical significance of exportin gene family members is limited in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). Pan-cancer data, ccRCC multiomics data, and single-cell sequence were included to analyze the differences in DNA methylation modification, single nucleotide variations (SNVs), copy number variations (CNVs), and expression levels of exportin gene family members.

Purpose: There are significant inflammatory correlations and common immune dysregulation features between psoriasis and chronic kidney disease, however, the inflammatory mechanisms of these two diseases have not been clarified. The aim of this study was to screen immunologically related biomarkers for psoriasis and chronic kidney disease with the objective of identifying specific molecular markers to improve the accuracy and sensitivity of disease diagnosis.
Patients And Methods: To achieve this objective, common differentially expressed genes between psoriasis and chronic kidney disease were first identified.

Background: Sepsis is regarded as a dysregulated immune response to infections. Recent study showed partially reversal of immunosuppression by trained immunity, which fosters an enhanced immune response towards a secondary challenge. However, the role of trained immunity in sepsis has not been fully understood.
