Defining cell classes is central to the analysis of growing single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) atlases. Marker genes are most often identified by differential expression (DE) methods that assess genes one at a time, ignoring the redundancy and complementarity revealed when genes are considered jointly. Working with binarized expression data, we instead seek discriminating

While magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate (MgIG) is a clinically approved therapy for alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD), its precise molecular targets and mechanisms remain uncharacterized. This study aimed to define MgIG’s hepatoprotective actions in chronic-binge ALD mouse models and ethanol/palmitic acid-exposed AML-12 hepatocytes. Through an integrated strategy encompassing RN...

Hippocampus, a key hub of neural circuits for spatial learning and memory, has attracted tremendous studies. Neuronal information processing in the hippocampus can be regulated by many types of neuropeptides. Cholecystokinin (Cck), the most abundant neuropeptide in the central nervous system that is involved in modulating neuronal functions, such as cognition, memory, and...

Malaria merozoite surface proteins (MSPs) are thought to have important roles in red blood cell (RBC) invasion and their exposure on the parasite surface makes them attractive vaccine candidates. However, their role in invasion has not been directly demonstrated and their biological functions remain unknown. One of the most abundant merozoite surface proteins is PfMSP2, a...

Dendritic action potentials exhibit long plateaus of many tens of milliseconds, outliving axonal spikes by an order of magnitude. The computational role of these slow events seems at odds with the need to rapidly integrate and relay information throughout large nervous systems. We propose that the timescale of dendritic potentials allows for reliable integration of asynchronous ...
