Background: Emerging evidence strongly suggests that terminally differentiated neurons in the brain have the potential to undergo a cell cycle-like process during neuronal aging and in the presence of certain diseases. However, due to their infrequent occurrence and unpredictable distribution within the brain, the molecular characteristics and specific variations associated with these cells in different diseases are still not well understood.
Method: By taking advantage of the wealth of human brain single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) datasets available in public repositories, we developed an analytical pipeline that facilitates the identification and characterization of cell cycle gene re-expressing neurons to address these questions.

Background: Thymoma is a rare mediastinal neoplasm originating from thymic epithelial cells, often associated with paraneoplastic syndromes. These syndromes can manifest as a range of autoimmune disorders, including myasthenia gravis, pure red cell aplasia, and aplastic anemia. Clinical trials involving the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in thymoma have been complicated by a high incidence of immune-related adverse effects (irAEs).

This study examines the origin and differentiation of stem-like CD8+ T cells that are essential for sustained T cell immunity in chronic viral infections and cancer and also play a key role in PD-1 directed immunotherapy. These PD-1+ TCF-1+ TOX+ stem-like CD8+ T cells, also referred to as precursors of exhausted T cells, have a distinct program that allows them to adapt to chronic antigen stimulation. Using the mouse model of chronic LCMV infection we found that virus specific stem-like CD8+ T cells are generated early (day 5) during chronic infection suggesting that this crucial fate commitment occurs irrespective of infection outcome.

Despite their enormous impact in modern heterogeneous catalysis, single-atom catalysts (SACs) continue to puzzle the catalysis community, which often struggles to draw correct conclusions in SAC-catalyzed experiments. In many cases, the reasons for such an uncertainty originate from the lack of knowledge of the exact single-atom evolution under operative conditions and the fundamental factors controlling the fate of the single atom in relation to the catalytic mechanism. This has led to confusion also about correct definition and terminology, where the coined term reflects the difficulty in defining the true active species as well as in obtaining long-range ordered homogeneous supports [Chi, S.
