    Using approaches involving chimeric mice and macrophage-adipocyte cocultures, the authors demonstrate that PFKFB3 disruption only in hematopoietic cells exacerbates the severity of diet-induced adipose tissue inflammation and systemic insulin resistance. Mechanistically, macrophage factors generated in response to PFKFB3 disruption act to enhance adipocyte proinflammatory responses and impair adipocyte insulin signaling.

    Data processing and learning has become a spearhead for the advancement of medicine. Computational pathology is burgeoning subspecialty that promises a better-integrated solution to whole-slide images, multi-omics data and clinical informatics as innovative approach for patient care. This review describes clinical perspectives and discusses the statistical methods, clinical applications, potential obstacles, and future directions of computational pathology.

    Recent studies highlight a prominent role of human lung pericytes in lung diseases. However, human lung pericytes usually stop growth within ten passages. This study successfully established an immortalized human lung pericyte cell line, which exhibited sustained proliferation, retained pericyte characteristics and function, is a promising tool for in vitro pericyte studies.

    In this study, the authors reveal that the hypoxic microenvironment stimulates glioma to generate miR-1246- and miR-10b-5p-rich exosomes, which are delivered to normoxic glioma cells to promote their migration and invasion by targeting FRK and TFAP2A respectively. Treatment targeting the exosomes and microRNAs may impair the motility of gliomas, providing a novel direction for the development of antitumor therapy.

    Tissue cytometry is a promising new microscopy technique that can be used to enumerate and characterize each cell in a tissue. Here the authors describe a complete and accessible pipeline, including methods of sample preparation, microscopy, image analysis, and data analysis for large-scale three-dimensional tissue cytometry of human kidney tissues.

    The abnormal differentiation of Th17 cells is a vital promoter of immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) progression. In this study, the authors found that miR-199a-5p is downregulated during ITP. Supplementation of extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from miR-199a-5p-modified ADSCs markedly repress Th17 differentiation by transferring miR-199a-5p to CD4+T cells, thus ameliorating experimental ITP.
