Red blood cells serve as a primary glucose sink to improve glucose tolerance at altitude Martรญ-Mateos et al. show that red blood cells explain improved glucose tolerance at high altitude. By manipulating red blood cell number, they determine that these cells are necessary and sufficient f...

What if cancer immune evasion is driven by metabolites, not mutations?
Tumor-derived metabolites actively suppress immunity and rewire immune cell fateโ€”offering new therapeutic targets.

Chinese Immune Multi-Omics Atlas Human peripheral blood exhibits molecular and cellular heterogeneity across populations, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. We present the Chinese Immune Multi-Omics Atlas (CIMA), character...

CIMA maps cell typeโ€“specific regulatory networks by integrating scRNA-seq, scATAC-seq & genetics across 10M+ PBMCs, revealing causal links to immune-mediated diseases.

Lysosomes signal through the epigenome to regulate longevity across generations The epigenome is sensitive to metabolic inputs and is crucial for aging. Lysosomes act as a signaling hub to sense metabolic cues and regulate longevity. We found that lysosomal metabolic pathways sig...
