Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are recognized as direct seeds of metastasis. However, CTC count may not be the 'best' indicator of metastatic risk because their heterogeneity is generally neglected. In this study, we develop a molecular typing system to predict colorectal cancer metastasis potent...
Cells use glycolytic intermediates for anabolism e.g., via the serine synthesis and pentose phosphate pathways. However, we still understand poorly how these metabolic pathways contribute to skeletal muscle cell biomass generation. The first aim of this study was therefore to identify enzymes tha...
Germline or somatic loss-of-function of fumarate hydratase (FH) predisposes patients to an aggressive form of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Since other than tumor resection, there is no effective therapy for FH-deficient RCC, a competent method for early diagnosis and for early detection of recurre...
The anterior insular cortex (AIC) is a critical hub integrating exteroceptive and interoceptive information into high-order cognition, yet its neural basis remains incompletely understood. Here, by combining whole-cell-based single-cell transcriptomics with Patch-seq recordings, we resolved and c...
