DOI: 10.1016/j.immuni.2019.08.017
Abstract: Summary Macrophages are strongly adapted to their tissue of residence. Yet, little is known about the cell-cell interactions that imprint the tissue-specific identities of macrophages in their respective niches. Using conditional depletion of liver Kupffer… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.stem.2021.06.001
Abstract: The mammalian cornea is maintained by the lifelong self-replenishing activity of its stem cells. In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Altshuler et al. (2021) and Farrelly et al. (2021) identify two stem cell populations with diverse… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.stem.2022.03.001
Abstract: Measuring cell identity in development, disease, and reprogramming is challenging as cell types and states are in continual transition. Here, we present Capybara, a computational tool to classify discrete cell identity and intermediate "hybrid" cell… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-020-15935-0
Abstract: Compromised β-cell identity is emerging as an important contributor to β-cell failure in diabetes; however, the precise mechanism independent of hyperglycemia is under investigation. We have previously reported that mTORC1/Raptor regulates functional maturation in β-cells.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-021-27865-6
Abstract: The genome exists as an organized, three-dimensional (3D) dynamic architecture, and each cell type has a unique 3D genome organization that determines its cell identity. An unresolved question is how cell type-specific 3D genome structures… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41586-020-2034-1
Abstract: Metazoan development requires the robust proliferation of progenitor cells, the identities of which are established by tightly controlled transcriptional networks 1 . As gene expression is globally inhibited during mitosis, the transcriptional programs that define… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41590-018-0234-8
Abstract: Recent studies have elucidated cell-lineage-specific three-dimensional genome organization; however, how such specific architecture is established or maintained is unclear. We hypothesized that lineage-defining transcription factors maintain cell identity via global control of genome organization. These… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/nar/gkad300
Abstract: Cell identity genes are distinct from other genes with respect to the epigenetic mechanisms to activate their transcription, e.g. by super-enhancers and broad H3K4me3 domains. However, it remains unclear whether their post-transcriptional regulation is also… read more here.
