Article Synopsis
- Mitochondria are vital for energy production and play important roles in cellular processes and stress responses, particularly in plants facing environmental challenges like drought.
- This study investigates RNA editing patterns in distinct wheat cultivars under drought conditions to better understand how plants adapt to stress.
- Results indicate significant RNA editing, especially C-to-T conversions, affecting protein structure and regulatory functions, with differences in responses between drought-tolerant and sensitive wheat varieties.
Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (anti-NMDAR) encephalitis is an autoimmune disease of the central nervous system with unknown etiology and multiple triggers. It is clinically characterized by the onset of psychiatric symptoms, seizures, memory disturbance, and cognitive decline. We present a young, newly married woman in the first trimester of pregnancy who presented with purely psychiatric manifestations, fever, and two instances of generalized tonic-clonic seizures.

- SCID is a serious illness that affects the immune system and can be deadly without special treatments like cell transplants or gene therapy.
- Newborn screening for SCID has helped many babies survive, but we need to learn more about the long-term health effects on those who survive.
- Researchers are studying how different factors, like the type of treatment and health history, can impact the long-term health of SCID survivors, and they want to improve care for these patients in the future.
There is a growing interest in studying natural products for the identification of novel lead compounds for drug development for treating inflammatory diseases. Although some studies have focused anti-inflammatory activity of benzophenones and xanthones, exploring additional targets such as enzymes and cytokines, involved in their inflammatory response could provide more comprehensive understanding of the compounds' anti-inflammatory effects. In this study, four xanthones ananixanthone (), smeathxanthone A (), smeathxanthone B (), and 1,3,5,8-tetrahydroxy-2-(3-methybut-2-enyl)-4-(3,7-dimethyloct-2,6-dienyl) xanthone (); and three benzophenones guttiferone O (), guttiferone M (), and aristophenone A () from (Planch.

We analyzed data collected (n = 307) for PHA-based T cell proliferation from the PIDTC SCID protocol 6901, using either a radioactive or flow cytometry method. In comparing the two groups, a smaller number of the patients tested by flow cytometry had <10% of the lower limit of normal proliferation as compared to the radioactive method (p = 0.
