In human lupus nephritis, tubulointerstitial inflammation (TII) is associated with expansion of B cells expressing anti-vimentin antibodies (AVAs). The mechanism by which AVAs are selected is unclear. Herein, we demonstrate that AVA somatic hypermut...
The endemic of peri-implantitis affects over 25% of dental implants. Current treatment depends on empirical patient and site-based stratifications and lacks a consistent risk grading system. We investigated a unique cohort of peri-implantitis patie...
Celiac disease (CeD) is a common autoimmune disorder caused by an abnormal immune response to dietary gluten proteins. The disease has high heritability. HLA is the major susceptibility factor, and the HLA effect is mediated via presentation of deami...
OBJECTIVES: Clinical flow cytometry is laborious, time-consuming, and expensive given the need for data review by highly trained personnel such as technologists and pathologists as well as the significant number of normal cases. Given these issues, a...

Subclasses of lymphocytes carry different functional roles to work together and produce an immune response and lasting immunity. Additionally to these functional roles, T and B cell lymphocytes rely on the diversity of their receptor chains to recogn...
Single cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) can be used to infer a temporal ordering of cellular states. Current methods for the inference of cellular trajectories rely on unbiased dimensionality reduction techniques. However, such biologically agnostic or...
Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are often selected from antigen-specific single B cells derived from different hosts, which are notably short-lived in ex vivo culture conditions and hence, arduous to interrogate. The development of several new technique...
Biopsies of inflammatory tissue contain a complex network of interacting cells, orchestrating the immune or autoimmune response. While standard histological examination can identify relationships, it is clear that a great amount of data on each slide...
Despite their crucial role in health and disease, our knowledge of immune cells within human tissues remains limited. We surveyed the immune compartment of 16 tissues from 12 adult donors by single-cell RNA sequencing and VDJ sequencing generating a ...
Crohn's disease (CD) arises from intricate intercellular interactions within the intestinal lamina propria. Our objective was to use single-cell RNA sequencing to investigate CD pathogenesis and explore its clinical significance. We identified a dist...
