Somatic cancer variants enriched in Alzheimer's disease microglia-like cells drive inflammatory and proliferative states

2 weeks 3 days ago
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative condition characterized by microglia-mediated neuroinflammation. Deep (>1,000×) panel sequencing of 311 brain samples revealed enrichment of somatic single-nucleotide variants (sSNVs) in cancer driver genes in AD brains, especially in genes associated with clonal hematopoiesis (CH). These sSNVs were associated with clonal expansion and carried by both microglia-like brain macrophages (MLBMs) in multiple brain regions as well as paired blood,...

A skeletal muscle atlas shows neuromuscular junction adaptations to growth and atrophy

2 weeks 3 days ago
The molecular basis underlying muscle atrophy, as it occurs during disuse or aging, and activity-induced hypertrophy remain poorly understood. A major challenge has been defining the diverse cellular and niche environments within skeletal muscle, which is mostly composed of multinucleated myofibers. Here, we present a single-nucleus and single-cell transcriptomic atlas, coupled with spatial profiling, of mouse limb skeletal muscle under resting conditions and during experimentally induced...
