Single Nucleus Profiling Reveals Rewired Tumor-Immune-Stromal Cell Communication in Plasmacytoid Urothelial Carcinoma

Kathryn H Gessner, Siyao Liu, Mi Zhou…·William Y Kim

This study compares tumor-immune-stromal communication in plasmacytoid urothelial carcinoma (PUC) and conventional urothelial carcinoma (CUC) using single nucleus RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics, identifying distinct signaling patterns and potential therapeutic targets.

Region-specific molecular regulatory programs define epithelial identity, progenitor states, and mucus homeostasis in human distal airways

Hiroaki Murano, Nathanial C. Stevens, Hong Dang…·Kenichi Okuda

The paper identifies region-specific molecular regulatory programs in human distal airways that maintain epithelial identity and mucus homeostasis, revealing mechanisms for mucociliary defense.
