  1. Single-cell profiling reveals epithelial and immune responses in BK polyomavirus–infected human kidney biopsies

    Publication
    Single-cell RNA sequencing of human kidney allograft biopsies reveals key transcriptional programs altered during BK polyomavirus infection. We delineate distinct epithelial sub-populations undergoing viral-induced stress …
  2. HumanBase: an interactive AI platform for human biology

    Publication
    Increasing quantities of genomic data present an opportunity for uncovering functional and mechanistic insights. However, given the complexity and scale of the data, sophisticated analytical frameworks and integrative …
  3. Shared multicellular injury programs of acute and chronic kidney disease enable mechanistic patient stratification

    Publication
    Acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are two interconnected clinical conditions, both defined by degree of functional impairment, but with heterogeneous clinical trajectories. Using new …
  4. Cellular and Spatial Drivers of Unresolved Injury and Functional Decline in the Human Kidney

    Publication
    Building upon a foundational Human Kidney resource, we present a comprehensive multi-modal atlas that defines spatially resolved versus unresolved repair states and mechanisms in human kidney disease …
  5. Biomolecular condensates control and are defined by RNA-RNA interactions that arise in viral replication

    Publication
    Cells must limit RNA–RNA interactions to avoid irreversible RNA entanglement. Cells may prevent deleterious RNA-RNA interactions by genome organization to avoid complementarity however, RNA viruses generate …
  6. 8574 Single cell multiomics suggests tumor cell energy metabolism heterogeneity in non-functioning gonadotroph pituitary adenomas

    Publication
    … differed by their level of expression of mitochondrial genes, suggesting decreased aerobic capacity associated with the GT- tumor subgroup. Interestingly, differential analyses between the healthy and the …
