Current Cutting-Edge Omics Techniques On Musculoskeletal Tissues And Diseases, Xiaofei Li, Liang Fang, Sade W Clayton, Dakota R Kamm, Cuicui Wang, Farshid Guilak, Simon Y Tang, Gretchen A Meyer, Jie Shen, Et Al.

2020-Current year OA Pubs

Musculoskeletal disorders, including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis, bone fracture, intervertebral disc degeneration, tendinopathy, and myopathy, are prevalent conditions that profoundly impact quality of life and place substantial economic burdens on healthcare systems. Traditional bulk transcriptomics, genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics have played a pivotal role in uncovering disease-associated alterations at the population level. However, these approaches are inherently limited in their ability to resolve cellular heterogeneity or to capture the spatial organization of cells within tissues, thus hindering a comprehensive understanding of the complex cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying these diseases. To address these limitations, advanced single-cell and spatial omics techniques …

Neuroma following nerve injury and/or amputation is a debilitating condition with significant impacts on quality of life. Several approaches exist to prevent or treat neuroma and/or reduce associated pain; however, these approaches are not consistently effective, facile, or widely accessible. The present study characterizes a xenogeneic nerve cap graft device (NCGD) composed of decellularized porcine nerve. The NCGD was assessed for its ability to inhibit nerve growth, neuroma formation, and pain in rodent models of sciatic neurectomy and tibial neuroma transposition. The NCGD provided a neuroinhibitory substrate that abated and interrupted nerve growth within 5 mm of the nerve stump …

A Histological Analysis Of The Superior Capsule Of The Glenohumeral Joint And The Supraspinatus Tendon, Nabil Mehta, Allison K Perry, Deborah J Hall, Ian M Clapp, Derrick M Knapik, Grant E Garrigues, Nikhil N Verma

2020-Current year OA Pubs

BACKGROUND: Complete understanding of rotator cuff pathology relies on a comprehensive knowledge of the anatomic relationships between the supraspinatus tendon (ST) and the superior capsule (SC) of the glenohumeral joint. However, the native anatomy of these structures across the glenohumeral joint and at their attachment sites remains incompletely understood.

PURPOSE: To (1) determine the histological anatomy and absolute and relative thicknesses of the SC compared with the ST across the glenohumeral joint at the anterior, midpoint, and posterior portions of the ST; (2) quantify the percentage of the humeral footprint occupied by the SC versus the ST; and (3) measure …

The human kidney maintains homeostasis through a complex network of up to a million nephrons, its fundamental tissue units. Using innovative tissue processing and light sheet fluorescence microscopy, we mapped the 3D neurovascular connectivity of nephrons to understand how their structural organization enables coordinated functions like filtration, absorption, and blood pressure regulation. Our analysis revealed developmental changes in glomerular orientation, density, volume, and innervation from birth through aging. We discovered an extensive nerve network connecting different nephron segments and organizing glomeruli into distinct communities. These communities are linked through "mother glomeruli" that serve as control centers, creating a repeating pattern …

Onchocerciasis (river blindness), a neglected tropical disease caused by the filarial nematode Onchocerca volvulus, impacts millions of people in sub-Saharan Africa. The WHO coordinates global efforts to eliminate onchocerciasis and has prioritized development of improved diagnostic tests to aid these efforts. To find new microfilarial-associated diagnostic targets to help identify active infections, we used laser capture microdissection to isolate embryonic stages from histologic sections of O. volvulus worms in subcutaneous nodules excised from onchocerciasis patients. Proteomic analysis identified 2,512 O. volvulus proteins in those tissues, including 264 found only in the microfilariae (Mf). From this pool of diagnostic candidates, we …

Estimated Burden Of Coccidioidomycosis, Samantha L Williams, Andrej Spec, Et Al.

2020-Current year OA Pubs

IMPORTANCE: Coccidioidomycosis is an underrecognized fungal infection that can cause serious illness and constitutes a considerable public health burden. The number of cases is likely substantially higher than the nationally reported total, as surveillance does not capture patients who do not seek medical care or who are undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. Coccidioidomycosis is not reportable in all states, and cases not reported to public health entities are likewise missed. A systematic estimate of coccidioidomycosis burden is needed to raise awareness and inform public health interventions and policy.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the annual burden of symptomatic coccidioidomycosis in the US.

Social, Microbial, And Immune Factors Linking Bacterial Vaginosis And Infectious Diseases, Nicole M. Gilbert, Luis A. Ramirez Hernandez, Daniela Berman, Sydney Morrill, Pascal Gagneux, Amanda L. Lewis

2020-Current year OA Pubs

Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a polymicrobial condition of the vaginal microbiota associated with a variety of sexually transmitted infections, infections of maternal and fetal tissues during pregnancy, and even some infections outside of the reproductive tract, including the urinary tract and mouth. BV has also been associated with conditions in which the body generates prominent inflammatory reactions to microbes, including infections of the cervix and other upper genital tract tissues. For reasons still not understood, BV is a highly recurrent and often difficult-to-treat condition, complicating attempts to prevent these associated infections. An additional layer of complexity arises from the increasing …

Seasonal influenza viruses cause significant global illness and death annually, and the potential spillover of avian H5N1 poses a serious pandemic threat. Traditional influenza vaccines target the variable hemagglutinin (HA) protein, necessitating annual vaccine updates, while the slower-evolving neuraminidase (NA) presents a promising target for broader protection. We investigated the breadth of anti-NA B cell responses to seasonal influenza vaccination in humans. We screened plasmablast-derived monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) from three donors, identifying 11 clonally distinct NA mAbs from 268 vaccine-specific mAbs. Among these, mAb-297 showed exceptionally broad NA inhibition, effectively protecting mice against lethal doses of influenza A and B …

Innate Lymphoid Cells In Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Xin Yao, Kaiming Ma, Yangzhuangzhuang Zhu, Siyan Cao

2020-Current year OA Pubs

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the gastrointestinal tract with rising incidence and an unclear etiology. Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) have recently emerged as key regulators of mucosal immunity and tissue homeostasis and are increasingly implicated in IBD. Unlike adaptive lymphocytes, ILCs do not require antigen recognition and clonal expansion to respond rapidly to environmental cues and shape immune responses. In a healthy gut, ILCs maintain intestinal homeostasis by guarding the epithelial barrier, protecting against pathogens, and mounting proper responses to external insults. However, their altered differentiation, proliferation, recruitment, activation, …

Dominant Interfering Card11 Variants Disrupt Jnk Signaling To Promote Gata3 Expression In T Cells, Bradly M Bauman, Jeffrey R Stinson, Melissa A Kallarakal, Lei Haley Huang, Andrew M Frank, Gauthaman Sukumar, Nermina Saucier, Clifton L Dalgard, Alice Y Chan, Joshua D Milner, Megan A Cooper, Andrew L Snow

2020-Current year OA Pubs

Several "primary atopic disorders" are linked to monogenic defects that attenuate TCR signaling, favoring T helper type 2 (TH2) cell differentiation. Patients with CARD11-associated atopy with dominant interference of NF-κB signaling (CADINS) disease suffer from severe atopy, caused by germline loss-of-function/dominant interfering (LOF/DI) CARD11 variants. The CARD11 scaffold enables TCR-induced activation of NF-κB, mTORC1, and JNK signaling, yet the function of CARD11-dependent JNK signaling in T cells remains nebulous. Here we show that CARD11 is critical for TCR-induced activation of JNK1 and JNK2, as well as canonical JUN/FOS AP-1 family members. Patient-derived CARD11 DI variants attenuated WT CARD11 JNK signaling, …

Age-Related Mesenchymal Stromal Cell Senescence Is Associated With Progression From Mgus To Multiple Myeloma, Natalya Plakhova, Sheila A Stewart, Et Al.

2020-Current year OA Pubs

The risk of progression of monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) to multiple myeloma (MM) increases with advancing age, suggesting that progression may be influenced by age-related changes within the bone marrow (BM) microenvironment. We hypothesise that senescent mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), which accumulate in the BM with age, may contribute to MGUS progression to MM. Here, we show that, like BM MSCs from aged non-cancer controls, BM MSCs from both MM and MGUS patients exhibit a senescent phenotype characterised by enlarged, flattened morphology, increased β-galactosidase activity and CDKN2A expression, and decreased proliferation rate compared with BM MSCs from healthy …

Genetically Encoded Biosensors Of Metabolic Function For The Study Of Neurodegeneration, A Review And Perspective, Minglei Zhao, Saman Behboudi Tanourlouee, Sean Mccracken, Philip R Williams

2020-Current year OA Pubs

Nervous system tissue is the most metabolically active in the body and neurons are the primary consumers of oxygen and metabolites in nervous tissue. Many processes support neuronal metabolism, and dysregulation of these processes or intrinsic neuronal metabolism is often tied to neurodegenerative diseases. While many techniques are available to query metabolic function and disease (e.g. Seahorse XF, histology, immunostaining), almost all of these approaches are destructive and few offer cellular resolution. However, genetically encoded biosensors can optically measure metabolic features in any tissue with optical access. Biosensors represent an approach to non-destructively monitor metabolic components and regulatory signaling repeatedly …

As scientists interested in fetal, infant, and toddler (FIT) neurodevelopment, our research questions often focus on how individual children differ in their neurodevelopment and the predictive value of those individual differences for long-term neural and behavioral outcomes. Measuring and interpreting individual differences in neurodevelopment can present challenges: Is there a "standard" way for the human brain to develop? How do the semantic, practical, or theoretical constraints that we place on studying "development" influence how we measure and interpret individual differences? While it is important to consider these questions across the lifespan, they are particularly relevant for conducting and interpreting research …
