    Abstract Processing dissociated cells for transcriptomics is challenging when targeting small brain structures, like brainstem nuclei, where cell yield may be low. Here, we present a protocol for dissecting, dissociating, and cryopreserving mouse brainstem that allows asynchronous sample collection and downstream processing of cells obtained from brainstem tissue in neonatal mice. Although we demonstrate this protocol with the isolated preBötzinger complex and downstream SmartSeq3 cDNA library preparation, it could be readily adapted for other brainstem areas and library preparation approaches.

    Abstract A number of countries including the UK are currently experiencing large outbreaks of measles affecting mainly young children but also adolescents and young adults. Women of childbearing age are a particular group of concern because the 1988 Wakefield Lancet paper, which falsely asserted a connection between the MMR vaccine and autism, was associated with a large and sharp decline in childhood MMR uptake over several years. This has left large cohorts of non-immune adolescents and young adults (born between 1998 and 2004), including young women who are now of childbearing age and remain susceptible to measles as well as rubella. Pregnant mothers are at higher risk of serious complications, such as pneumonia, with adverse pregnancy complications including fetal loss, premature birth, and neonatal death. Measles infection may also result in subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE), a very rare but very severe and invariably fatal neurodegenerative complication that typically manifests many years after acute measles infection but can have a short-onset latency with a fulminant course in pregnant women. Here, we summarise the epidemiology of measles infection, factors associated with the current measles outbreaks, as well as the risks and outcomes of measles, including SSPE, in pregnancy. We propose an algorithm for clinical management of measles infection in pregnancy. We also highlight the importance of early liaison with local health protection teams for risk assessment, diagnosis and management of suspected measles in pregnancy and close contacts as well as susceptible pregnant women exposed to a person with measles in the community.

    Abstract Ameloblastin (AMBN) is best characterized for its role in dental enamel formation, regulating cell differentiation and mineralization, and cell matrix adhesion. However, AMBN has also been detected in mesenchymal stem cells in addition to bone, blood, and adipose tissue. Using immunofluorescence in a pilot scheme, we identified that AMBN is expressed in different parts of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. AMBN mRNA and protein detection in several tissues along the length of the GI tract suggests a role for AMBN in the structure and tissue integrity of the extracellular matrix (ECM). Intracellular AMBN expression in subsets of cells indicates a potential alternative role in signaling processes. Of note, our previous functional AMBN promoter analyses had shown that it contains epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) regulatory elements. ΑΜΒΝ is herein presented as a paradigm shift of the possible associations and the spatiotemporal regulation of the ECM regulating the EMT and

    Abstract Because of the polysystemic nature of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), during the present pandemic, there have been serious concerns regarding pregnancy, vertical transmission, and intrapartum risk. The majority of pregnant patients with COVID-19 infection present with mild or asymptomatic course of the disease. Some cases were hospitalized, and few needed intensive care unit admission, or mechanical ventilation. There have also been scarce case reports where neonates required mechanical ventilation post COVID-19 pregnancies. Without approved therapies other than dexamethasone, advanced mesenchymal cell therapy is one immunomodulatory therapeutic approach that is currently explored and might hold great promise. We suggest that the circulating fetal stem cells might have an immune-protective effect to mothers and contribute to the often mild and even asymptomatic post-COVID-19 pregnancies. Thus, COVID-19 pregnancies come forth as a paradigm to be further and more comprehensively approached, to understand both the mechanism and action of circulating stem cells in immunoprotection and hypoxia in microcirculation.
