Scanning electrochemical cell microscopy is becoming the tool of choice for the investigation of localized metal corrosion. Typically, potentiodynamic polarization measurements in scanning electrochemical cell microscopy are performed at high potential scan rates. However, Tafel extrapolation applied to high-scan-rate potentiodynamic polarization curves would yield inaccurate corrosion kinetics due to the interference of double-layer charging current or mass transport of species in the metal oxide.

Article Synopsis
  • Xp11 translocation renal cell carcinoma (tRCC) is a rare cancer that mostly affects females and is caused by a fusion of the TFE3 gene on chromosome X with other genes.
  • The study explores how TFE3 fusions occur through rearrangements and whether these fusions arise from the active or inactive X chromosomes, shedding light on tRCC's female predominance.
  • Findings show that TFE3 fusions are typically due to reciprocal translocations and that specific translocations involving the inactive X chromosome contribute to the higher incidence of tRCC in females, revealing important insights into cancer genetics and sex differences.

Translocation renal cell carcinoma (tRCC) is an aggressive subtype of kidney cancer driven by gene fusions, which act via poorly characterized downstream mechanisms. Here we report that TFE3 fusions transcriptionally rewire tRCCs toward oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), contrasting with the highly glycolytic metabolism of most other renal cancers. This TFE3 fusion-driven OXPHOS program, together with heightened glutathione levels found in renal cancers, renders tRCCs sensitive to reductive stress - a metabolic stress state induced by an imbalance of reducing equivalents.

Article Synopsis
  • Xp11 translocation renal cell carcinoma (tRCC) is a type of kidney cancer that mostly affects females, caused by genetic rearrangements on the X chromosome.
  • The study investigates how these genetic fusions occur, focusing on whether they emerge from active or inactive X chromosomes in females and their link to the female predominance in this cancer.
  • The findings reveal a significant 2:1 ratio of female to male fusions resulting from X:autosomal translocations, suggesting that inactive X chromosomes contribute to this female bias in tRCC and highlight the unique role of sex chromosomes in cancer development.

Young women who have had contact with the criminal justice system (justice-involved young women) have an increased risk of being a victim of violence. However, no reviews have synthesized the evidence on interventions to prevent or respond to violence against justice-involved young women. We conducted a scoping review to identify interventions designed to prevent or respond to violence against justice-involved young women.
