  • - The study investigates the link between germline pathogenic variants in the PALB2 gene and the development of ovarian cancer, given that 20% of ovarian cancers are hereditary.
  • - A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted, analyzing 55 studies with data from nearly 48,194 ovarian cancer patients, revealing that only 0.4% had PALB2 pathogenic variants.
  • - The findings suggest that individuals with ovarian cancer are 2.48 times more likely to carry PALB2 pathogenic variants compared to the general population, indicating the need for further research on this gene's role in ovarian cancer.

From flocking birds to swarming insects, interactions of organisms large and small lead to the emergence of collective dynamics. Here, we report striking collective swimming of bovine sperm in dynamic clusters, enabled by the viscoelasticity of the fluid. Sperm oriented in the same direction within each cluster, and cluster size and cell-cell alignment strength increased with viscoelasticity of the fluid.
