Most existing transcriptome wide association studies (TWASs) of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) dementia only use bulk RNA-seq data and a single statistical method. Here, we utilize an omnibus TWAS (TWAS-O) pipeline that leverages multiple complementary statistical methods to integrate the snRNA-seq datase...

The aberrant accumulation of intracellular disulfides promotes cancer cell disulfidptosis; however, how disulfide stress influences tumour-infiltrating CD8+ T cell function remains unknown. Here we demonstrate that lactate dehydrogenase B (LDHB) facilitates intratumoural CD8+ T cell disulfidptosis a...
