Background: The utilization of PD1 and CTLA4 inhibitors has revolutionized the treatment of malignant melanoma (MM). However, resistance to targeted and immune-checkpoint-based therapies still poses a significant problem.

Objective: Here, we mine large-scale MM proteogenomic data to identify druggable targets and forecast treatment efficacy and resistance.

Congenital clubfoot is a complex, frequent deformity that can be challenging even in experienced hands. The Ponseti method remains universally accepted as the gold standard for treatment, and excellent outcomes are within expectations in most cases with appropriate technical management. Recurrences continue to be a problem and are mainly associated with non-compliance with orthosis use.

Phytohormone signaling is fine-tuned by regulatory feedback loops. The phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) plays key roles in plant development and abiotic stress tolerance. PYRABACTIN RESISTENCE 1/PYR1-LIKE/REGULATORY COMPONENT OF ABA RECEPTOR (PYR/PYL/RCAR) receptors sense ABA, and in turn, ABA represses their expression.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how the age-related microRNA miR156 influences the development of extrafloral nectaries (EFNs) in two species of passion flower.
  • Results show that manipulation of miR156 affects both leaf maturation and EFN formation, with overexpression leading to smaller and fewer EFNs, while reduced activity results in larger EFNs in one species.
  • This research highlights a connection between miR156 activity, nectar sugar profiles, and the ecological interactions between EFNs and ants, underscoring the role of the miR156/SPL module in regulating these traits based on leaf age.
