The () gene family is of rising importance as their fusions are oncogenic, and specific target drugs are available to inhibit the chimera proteins. Pan-TRK antibody, which shows the overexpression of the genes, is a useful tool to detect tumors with or without gene alterations, due to high negative predictive value. Though it is well known that pan-TRK immunopositivity is usually not connected to fusion, the role of other possible genetic alterations is under-researched.

Serial macromolecular crystallography has become a powerful method to reveal room temperature structures of biological macromolecules and perform time-resolved studies. ID29, a flagship beamline of the ESRF 4th generation synchrotron, is the first synchrotron beamline in the world capable of delivering high brilliance microsecond X-ray pulses at high repetition rate for the structure determination of biological macromolecules at room temperature. The cardinal combination of microsecond exposure times, innovative beam characteristics and adaptable sample environment provides high quality complete data, even from an exceptionally small amount of crystalline material, enabling what we collectively term serial microsecond crystallography (SµX).

Article Synopsis
  • Lupus nephritis (LN) is a serious complication of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and a study analyzed 384 SLE patients to compare characteristics, treatments, and outcomes between those with and without LN over a 30-year period.
  • The findings indicated that while certain conditions were more common in non-LN patients, anemia and anti-RNP positivity were more prevalent in LN patients, with sepsis being a significant cause of death among LN sufferers.
  • Important changes post-2005 include higher use of mycophenolate mofetil, decreased corticosteroid dosage, reduced SLICC Damage Index scores, and an emphasis on achieving remission to improve long-term outcomes for all SLE patients.

Background: Ragweed () has become invasive in Europe, causing significant respiratory issues. Subcutaneous allergen immunotherapy (SCIT) has long been used to manage pollen allergies, but sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) has gained interest.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the clinical benefits of ragweed SLIT under real-world in a cohort of Hungarian patients allergic to ragweed pollen.

Article Synopsis
  • * In situ serial crystallography (iSX) enables direct data collection from 96-well crystallization plates, improving the identification of optimal crystallization conditions and simplifying the process for structurally challenging samples such as autotaxin.
  • * The new iSX method enhances efficiency and throughput in structure determination, allowing for the use of crystallization plates as a routine sample presentation method in synchrotron experiments.
