SINGLE-CELL TRANSCRIPTOMICS OF POPLITEAL LYMPHATIC VESSELS AND PERIPHERAL VEINS REVEALS ALTERED LYMPHATIC MUSCLE AND IMMUNE CELL POPULATIONS IN THE TNF-TG ARTHRITIS MODEL

Single-cell transcriptomics of popliteal lymphatic vessels and peripheral veins reveals altered lymphatic muscle and immune cell populations in the TNF-Tg arthritis model

Abstract Background Lymphatic dysfunction exists in tumor necrosis factor transgenic (TNF-Tg) mice and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients.While joint-draining TNF-Tg popliteal lymphatic vessels (PLVs) have deficits in contractility during end-stage arthritis, the nature of lymphatic muscle cells (LMCs) and their TNF-altered transcriptome remain unk

Stress preconditioning of spreading depression in the locust CNS.

Cortical spreading depression (CSD) is closely associated with important pathologies including stroke, seizures and migraine.The mechanisms underlying SD in its various forms are still incompletely understood.Here we describe SD-like events in an invertebrate model, the ventilatory central pattern generator (CPG) of locusts.Using K(+) -sensitive mi
