The ornithine-N-oxygenase Sib2 interacts with the N-transacetylase Sib3 in the ferrichrome biosynthetic pathway.

The fission yeast produces the hydroxamate-type siderophore ferrichrome (Fc). The biosynthesis of Fc requires the Fc synthase Sib1, the ornithine-N-oxygenase Sib2, and the N-hydroxyornithine-N-transacetylase Sib3. In this study, we demonstrate the critical importance of the His residue of Sib3 in Fc production.

Incidence of Acute Kidney Injury Post Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI): A Single-Center Experience.

Introduction: Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has dramatically changed the approach to treating aortic stenosis, particularly for patients unsuitable for surgical aortic valve replacement. Nevertheless, the possibility of quick deterioration of kidney function, known as acute kidney injury (AKI), post operation is considered one of the complications.

Objectives: The study aimed to determine the incidence of AKI in adults post TAVI.

CountASAP: A Lightweight, Easy to Use Python Package for Processing ASAPseq Data.

Declining sequencing costs coupled with the increasing availability of easy-to-use kits for the isolation of DNA and RNA transcripts from single cells have driven a rapid proliferation of studies centered around genomic and transcriptomic data. Simultaneously, a wealth of new techniques have been developed that utilize single cell technologies to interrogate a broad range of cell-biological processes. One recently developed technique, transposase-accessible chromatin with sequencing (ATAC) with select antigen profiling by sequencing (ASAPseq), provides a combination of chromatin accessibility assessments with measurements of cell-surface marker expression levels.

Differences in stroke clinical presentation among sexes.

Introduction: There are sex-based differences in stroke epidemiology, treatment, and outcomes. In this manuscript, we discuss the differences that exist in the clinical presentation of acute stroke among sexes.

Discussion: We present the differences in stroke presentation among sexes including age at the time of presentation, severity of stroke on presentation, and stroke type and location.
