    A neural circuit for sex-dependent conditioned pain hypersensitivity in mice

    Animals

    The experiments used adult (8–12 weeks) C57BL/6J (Charles River), VgluT2-Cre (Jackson Labs, 028863), Vgat-Cre (Jackson Labs, 028862), and Ai14 (RCL-tdT) (Jackson Labs, 007914) lines of both sexes. The VgluT2-Cre and Vgat-Cre were crossed…

  • An oncohistone-driven H3.3K27M/CREB5/ID1 axis maintains the stemness and malignancy of diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma

    An oncohistone-driven H3.3K27M/CREB5/ID1 axis maintains the stemness and malignancy of diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma

    ID1 functions as an oncogenic factor by promoting proliferation and stemness in H3K27M DIPG

    ID1 often endows cancer cells with stemness and malignancy hijacked from normal stem cells43,44 and its high expression in DIPG patients has a reduced…

    Benchmarking mouse contamination removing protocols in patient-derived xenografts genomic profiling

    Impact of mouse read contamination on PDX transcriptomic data

    To examine the impact of mouse read contamination on gene expression, we first compared gene expression values with and without removing mouse reads. For simplicity, we call a sample…
