A Rare Case Report of Dedifferentiated Endometrioid Carcinoma.

Dedifferentiated endometrioid carcinoma (DEC) is an exceptionally rare subtype of endometrial cancer characterized by a high-grade component juxtaposed with a low-grade endometrioid adenocarcinoma. This case report presents a unique instance of dedifferentiated endometrioid carcinoma in a 64-year-old female patient who presented with post-menopausal bleeding and abdominal pain. Diagnostic evaluation including imaging studies and histopathological examination revealed a mixed tumor comprising both high-grade and low-grade components.

Linkers: A synergistic way for the synthesis of chimeric proteins.

In the cell, the protein domains are attached with the short oligopeptide, commonly known as linker peptide. Besides bridging, the linker assists in the domain-domain interaction and protein folding into the peculiar conformations. Linkers allow or control the movement of protein domains in the dynamic cellular environment.

Feature-driven classification reveals potential comorbid subtypes within childhood apraxia of speech.

Background: Childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) is a neurodevelopmental disorder with heterogeneous communication and other comorbid manifestations. While previous studies have characterized speech deficits associated with CAS, few studies have examined variability in reading and language and/or other developmental comorbidities. We sought to identify comorbid subgroups within CAS that could be clinically relevant as well as genetically distinctive.

Positioning canine induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) in the reprogramming landscape of naïve or primed state in comparison to mouse and human iPSCs.

Aims: Deriving canine-induced pluripotent stem cells (ciPSCs) have paved the way for developing novel cell-based disease models and transplantation therapies in the dog. Though ciPSCs have been derived in the presence of Leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) as well in the presence of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), the positioning of ciPSCs in the naïve or the primed state of pluripotency remains elusive. This study aims to understand whether canine iPSCs belong to naïve or prime state in comparison to mouse (m) iPSCs and human (h) iPSCs.

The road less travelled: The efficacy of canine pluripotent stem cells.

The path-breaking discovery of induced pluripotent stem cells has fuelled the scientific advancements of stem cells. Nevertheless, the need to ensure the safety of stem cell therapy at translational level is still at large, prompting scientists to use animal models which are genetically and anatomically homologous to that of humans. Dogs, being genomically and physiologically more similar to humans serve as better models in mimicking human diseases as compared to rodents.

Epithelioid angiomyolipoma of liver with an inflammatory component: a case report.

Angiomyolipomas (AMLs) are benign mesenchymal tumors seen in kidneys in association with tuberous sclerosis. They are uncommon in liver. Angiomyolipomas of liver show great histological diversity and various types and patterns are described.
