Volcano and other analytical plots (e.g., correlation plots, upset plots, and heatmaps) serve as important data visualization methods for transcriptomic and proteomic analyses. Customizable generation of these plots is fundamentally important for a better understanding of dysregulated expression data and is therefore instrumental for the ensuing pathway analysis and biomarker identification. Here, we present an R-based Shiny application, termed ggVolcanoR, to allow for customizable generation and visualization of volcano plots, correlation plots, upset plots, and heatmaps for differential expression datasets, via a user-friendly interactive interface in both local executable version and web-based application without requiring programming expertise. Compared to currently existing packages, ggVolcanoR offers more practical options to optimize the generation of publication-quality volcano and other analytical plots for analyzing and comparing dysregulated genes/proteins across multiple differential expression datasets. In addition, ggVolcanoR provides an option to download the customized list of the filtered dysregulated expression data, which can be directly used as input for downstream pathway analysis. The source code of ggVolcanoR is available at https://github.com/KerryAM-R/ggVolcanoR and the webserver of ggVolcanoR 1.0 has been deployed and is freely available for academic purposes at https://ggvolcanor.erc.monash.edu/.

Background: Regenerative endodontics requires an innovative delivery system to release antibiotics/growth factors in a sequential trend. This study focuses on developing/characterizing a thermoresponsive core-shell hydrogel designed for targeted drug delivery in endodontics.

Methods: The core-shell chitosan-alginate microparticles were prepared by electrospraying to deliver bone morphogenic protein-2 for 14 days and transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-β1) for 7-14 days.

Objective: The current study aimed to develop an experimental approach for the direct co-culture of three-dimensional breast cancer cells using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq).

Methods: The following four cell culture groups were established in the Matrigel matrix: the untreated Michigan Cancer Foundation (MCF)-7 cell culture group, the MCF-7 cell culture plus cisplatin group, the untreated co-culture group, and the cell co-culture plus cisplatin group. For cell co-culture, MCF-7 cells, human mammary fibroblasts, and human umbilical vein endothelial cells were mixed at a ratio of 1:1:1.

Department of Dermatology, China-Japan Friendship Hospital, National Center for Integrative Medicine, Beijing, 100029, People's Republic of China.

Background: Psoriasis represents a persistent, immune-driven inflammatory condition affecting the skin, characterized by a lack of well-established biologic treatments without adverse events. Consequently, the identification of novel targets and therapeutic agents remains a pressing priority in the field of psoriasis research.

Methods: We collected single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) datasets and inferred T cell differentiation trajectories through pseudotime analysis.
