| 1 | Single-cell transcriptomes of peripheral blood cells indicate and elucidate severity of COVID-19显示文摘The blood and immune system of coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19)infected patients are dysfunctional,and numerous studies have been conducted to resolve their characteristics and pathogenic mechanisms.Nevertheless,the variations of immune responses along with disease severity have not been comprehensively documented.Here,we profiled the single-cell transcriptomes of 96,313 peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMCs)derived from 12 COVID-19 patients(including four moderate,four severe and four critical cases)and three healthy donors.We showed that proliferative CD8 effector T cells with declined immune functions and cytotoxicity accumulated in the critical stage.By contrast,the quantity of natural killer(NK)cells was significantly reduced,while they exhibited enhanced immune activities.Notably,a gradually attenuated responseto COVID-19 along with disease severity was observed in monocytes,in terms of cellular composition,transcriptional discrepancy and transcription factor regulatory network.Furthermore,we identified immune cell-type dependent cytokine signatures distinguishing the severity of COVID-19 patients.In addition,cell interactions between CD8 effector T/NK cells and monocytes mediated by inflammatory cytokines were enhanced in moderate and severe stages,but weakened in critical cases.Collectively,our work uncovers the cellular and molecular players underlying the disordered and heterogeneous immune responses associated with COVID-19 severity,which could provide valuable insights for the treatment of critical COVID-19 patients. | Xiaowei Xie Xuelian Cheng Gaoxiang Wang Biao Zhang Mengyao Liu Liting Chen Hui Cheng Sha Hao Jianfeng Zhou Ping Zhu Tao Cheng | 2021 | Science China(Life Sciences)2021，64，10： | 3 |
| 2 | Phase-field simulation tending to depict practical electrodeposition process in lithium-based batteries显示文摘Lithium dendrite growth due to uneven electrodeposition usually leads to the potential hazard of internal short circuit and shorter lifetime of lithium-based batteries. Extensive efforts have been devoted to explore the effects of single or two factors on dendrite growth, involving the diffusion coefficient, exchange current density, electrolyte concentration, temperature, and applied voltage. However, these factors interrelate during battery operation, signifying that a understanding of how they jointly influence the electrodeposition is of paramount importance for the effective suppression of dendrites. Here, we incorporate the dependent relationships among key factors into the phase-field model to capture their synergistic effects on electrodeposition. All the simulations are implemented in our self-written MATLAB code under a unified modeling framework. Following this, five groups of experimentally common dendrite patterns are reproduced and the corresponding electrodeposition driving forces are identified. Unexpectedly, we find that with the decrease of the ratio of exchange current density(or applied voltage) to diffusion coefficient, the electrodeposition morphology changes from needle-like dendrites to columnar dendrites and to uniform deposition. The present phase-field simulation tends to depict the practical electrodeposition process, providing important insights into synergistic regulation to suppress dendrite growth. | Yajie Li Liting Sha Geng Zhang Bin Chen Wei Zhao Yiping Wang Siqi Shi | 2023 | Chinese Chemical Letters2023，34，2： | 1 |
| 3 | Reciprocal interaction between vascular niche and sweat gland promotes sweat gland regeneration显示文摘The incorporation of vasculature is known to be effective in tissue or organ functional regeneration.However,a vague understanding of the interaction between epidermal appendages and their vascular niches is a foremost obstacle to obtaining sweat gland(SG)-specific vasculature units.Here,we map their precise anatomical con-nections and report that the interplay between SG cells(SGCs)and the surrounding vascular niche is key for glandular development and homeostasis maintenance.To replicate this interplay in vitro,we used three-dimensional(3D)bioprinting to generate reproducible SGC spheroids from differentiated adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells(ADSCs).With dermal microvascular endothelial cells(DMECs),sacrificial templates made from poly(ε-caprolactone)(PCL)were fabricated to pattern the vascular niche.This interplay model promoted physiologically relevant vascularized glandular morphogenesis in vitro and in vivo.We identified a reciprocal regulatory mechanism for promoting SGs regeneration via contact-independent cell communication and direct cell-cell interactions between SGs and the vasculature.We envision the successful use of our approach for vascularized organ regeneration in the near future. | Xingyu Yuan Xianlan Duan Enhejirigala Zhao Li Bin Yao Wei Song Yuzhen Wang Yi Kong Shijun Zhu Fanliang Zhang Liting Liang Mengde Zhang Chao Zhang Deling Kong Meifeng Zhu Sha Huang Xiaobing Fu | 2023 | Bioactive Materials2023，，3： | 0 |
| 4 | Collagen triple helix repeat containing-1 promotes functional recovery of sweat glands by inducing adjacent microvascular network reconstruction in vivo显示文摘Background:Sweat glands(SGs)have low regenerative potential after severe burns or trauma and their regeneration or functional recovery still faces many obstacles.In practice,restoring SG function requires not only the structural integrity of the gland itself,but also its neighboring tissues,especially blood vessels.Collagen triple helix repeat containing-1(CTHRC1)was first identified in vascular repair,and increasing reports showed a close correlation between cutaneous appendage specification,patterning and regeneration.The purpose of the present study was to clarify the role of CTHRC1 in SGs and their adjacent microvessels and find therapeutic strategies to restore SG function.Methods:The SGs and their adjacent microvascular network of Cthrc^(1−/−)mice were first inves-tigated using sweat test,laser Doppler imaging,tissue clearing technique and transcriptome analysis.The effects of CTHRC1 on dermal microvascular endothelial cells(DMECs)were further explored with cell proliferation,DiI-labeled acetylated low-density lipoprotein uptake,tube for-mation and intercellular junction establishment assays.The effects of CTHRC1 on SG function restoration were finally confirmed by replenishing the protein into the paws of Cthrc(1−/−)mice.Results:CTHRC1 is a key regulator of SG function in mice.At the tissue level,Cthrc1 deletion resulted in the disorder and reduction of the microvascular network around SGs.At the molecular level,the knockout of Cthrc1 reduced the expression of vascular development genes and functional proteins in the dermal tissues.Furthermore,CTHRC1 administration considerably enhanced SG function by inducing adjacent vascular network reconstruction.Conclusions:CTHRC1 promotes the development,morphogenesis and function execution of SGs and their neighboring vasculature.Our study provides a novel target for the restoration or regeneration of SG function in vivo. | Xingyu Yuan Xianlan Duan Zhao Li Bin Yao Enhejirigala Wei Song Yi Kong Yuzhen Wang Fanliang Zhang Liting Liang Shijun Zhu Mengde Zhang Chao Zhang Sha Huang Xiaobing Fu | 2022 | Burns & Trauma2022，10，1： | 0 |
| 5 | Understanding the separator pore size inhibition effect on lithium dendrite via phase-field simulations显示文摘Dendrite growth in lithium-ion batteries may bring thermal run-away especially at high current densities,which remains the major bottleneck to implement safe and fast charging for portable electronic devices or electronical vehicles.Designing dendrite inhibition separators with proper pore size is considered to be one of the most promising strategies to guarantee the battery safety.However,due to the impossible observation of lithium-ion distribution under separator by experiments,the underlying dendrite inhibition mechanism is still not fully understood.Here,we apply the phase-field model,which takes the separator phase into account to construct the electrochemical system total free energy,to study the ion re-distribution behavior of porous separator and understand the pore size inhibition effect on lithium dendrite.The numerical results indicate that separator with smaller pore size is beneficial to smoother electrodeposition,since the lithium-ion concentration on the electrode surface is more uniform under denser separator pores,when their sizes is larger than the critical nucleus.The proposed model could capture the physicochemical process of electrodeposition under multiphase structures,so it could also be used to explore dendrite growth under composite electrodes and composite solid electrolytes. | Yajie Li Geng Zhang Bin Chen Wei Zhao Liting Sha Da Wang Jia Yu Siqi Shi | 2022 | Chinese Chemical Letters2022，33，6： | 0 |
