Introduction: Methyltransferase-like protein 3 (METTL3), in complex with METTL14, is the key 'writer' protein for RNA mA methylation, accounting for almost all mRNA mA modifications. Recent studies reveal that METTL3 is implicated in the development and progression of various types of cancers. Targeting METTL3 with small molecule inhibitors represents a promising therapeutic strategy for cancer.

It occurs with severe neuropsychiatric symptoms that often improve with immunotherapy. Clinical studies and animal models based on patients' antibody transfer or NMDAR immunization suggest that the autoantibodies play a major pathogenic role.

Here, we used animal-borne cameras to characterize the behavior and dive duration of juvenile green turtles () in The Bahamas for up to 210 min after biologger deployment ( = 58). For a "control," we used unoccupied aerial vehicles (UAVs) to collect comparable data from nonhandled green turtles ( = 25) in the same habitats.

We hypothesized that PD does not result in improved outcomes when compared with non-PD surgical management of grade IV-V pancreaticoduodenal injuries.
Methods: This is a retrospective, multicenter analysis from 35 level 1 trauma centers from January 2010 to December 2020.
