Genetic and electrophysiological studies uncover a mechanism linking a TTN missense variant to atrial fibrillation by coupling titin with potassium channel remodeling, revealing FHL2 as a modulator and therapeutic target.
CD47Hi synovial mesenchymal stem cells are identified as a functionally distinct sub-population that regenerates articular cartilage and reduces osteoarthritis severity in a preclinical joint injury model.

Functional analyses showcase that in the absence of IL-27, hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells are more likely to become monocytes during toxoplasmosis, making them less responsive after infection.
Glycogen engineering strategies of mammalian cells were developed, which improved the survival of mesenchymal stem cells post-implantation and their therapeutic efficacy in pulmonary fibrosis model.
