BRD4 sustains p63 transcriptional program in keratinocytes.

Here, we investigated the potential interaction between bromodomain-containing protein 4 (BRD4), an established epigenetic modulator and transcriptional coactivator, and p63, a member of the p53 transcription factor family, essential for epithelial development and skin homeostasis. Our protein-protein interaction assays demonstrated a strong and conserved physical interaction between BRD4 and the p53 family members-p63, p73, and p53-suggesting a shared binding region among these proteins. While the role of BRD4 in cancer development through its interaction with p53 has been explored, the effects of BRD4 and Bromodomain and Extra Terminal (BET) inhibitors in non-transformed cells, such as keratinocytes, remain largely unknown.

Cultural Adaptation of an Educator Social-Emotional Learning Program to Support Indigenous Students.

Supporting Indigenous students' social-emotional learning (SEL) is important given the systemic impact of colonialism that has contributed to their higher mental health and academic disparities compared to White students. One way to promote SEL is through professional development for educators, yet there has been little research on the development of SEL programs that are culturally responsive to Indigenous people and contexts. The purpose of this study is to highlight the of culturally adapting a social-emotional program, (ENGAGE), for educators at a school located in a tribal nation in the Rocky Mountain region.

The Role of Lung Ultrasound in Systemic Sclerosis: A Systematic Review.

Background: In systemic sclerosis (SSc), high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) of the chest is the standard criterion for the diagnosis of interstitial lung disease (ILD). However, recent evidence suggests that lung ultrasound (LUS) can also detect ILD, without radiation exposure. Thus, our goal was to perform a systematic review, aiming to clarify the role of LUS in the detection of ILD in SSc.

Osteolysis in Systemic Sclerosis: A Scoping Review.

Objective: To perform a scoping review focusing on osteolysis in systemic sclerosis (SSc).

Methods: This review was performed in line with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) recommendations.

Results: From a total of 351 results, 29 articles were included for the final analysis.

Case Report: Composite pheochromocytoma with ganglioneuroma component: A report of three cases.

Composite pheochromocytoma (CP) is a very rare tumor originating from neural crest cells, predominantly composed of pheochromocytoma (PCC), a chromaffin cell tumor arising in adrenal medulla, and ganglioneuroma, a tumor derived from autonomic ganglion cells of the nervous system. Moreover, CP may be present in the hereditary syndromes of which pheochromocytoma is part. Literature offers scarce data on this subject, and particularly about its biological behavior, clinical evolution, and molecular profile.
