   Sex-specific attenuation of photoreceptor degeneration by reserpine in a rhodopsin P23H rat model of autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa

   Hyun Beom Song, Laura Campello ... Anand Swaroop

   Reserpine, previously identified through high-throughput screening in CEP290 retinal degeneration models, enhances photoreceptor survival in P23H rhodopsin retinal degeneration models, particularly in female rats, indicating its gene-agnostic and sex-specific effectiveness.

   Adventitial fibroblasts direct smooth muscle cell-state transition in pulmonary vascular disease

   Slaven Crnkovic, Helene Thekkekara Puthenparampil ... Grazyna Kwapiszewska

   Transition from healthy to diseased state is a cell-type-specific process, influenced by neighboring cells and resulting in functionally meaningful differences between pulmonary artery adventitial fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells.

    Deciphering the preeclampsia-specific immune microenvironment and the role of pro-inflammatory macrophages at the maternal–fetal interface

    Haiyi Fei, Xiaowen Lu ... Lingling Jiang

    Multi-omics analysis shows that preeclampsia-specific immune cell network was regulated by Folr2⁺Ccl7⁺Ccl8⁺C1qa⁺C1qb⁺C1qc⁺ pro-inflammatory macrophages, which can induce the CD8⁺ and Th17 memory T cells generation while inhibiting the gMDSCs production.
