Article Synopsis
  • - Faba bean is a globally cultivated legume that shows promise for increasing plant-based protein production, which is essential for sustainable food systems.
  • - A study involving 220 faba bean varieties aimed to assess phenotypic diversity, analyze the effects of breeding on traits, and identify genetic markers through a genome-wide association study (GWAS).
  • - The research found significant genetic variation for key traits, demonstrated correlations between yield and certain agronomic factors, and discovered novel genetic markers linked to flowering time and other traits, highlighting the impact of breeding on the crop.

Faba bean () is a legume grown in diverse climate zones with a high potential for increased cultivation and use in food due to its nutritional seeds. In this study, we characterized seed tissue development in faba bean to identify key developmental processes; from embryo expansion at the expense of the endosperm to the maturing storage stages of the bean seed. A spatio-temporal transcriptome profiling analysis, combined with chemical nutrient analysis of protein, starch, and lipid, of endosperm and embryo tissues at different developmental stages, revealed gene expression patterns, transcriptional networks, and biochemical pathways in faba bean.

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a leading cause of global cancer mortality, with liver transplantation as the sole curative treatment. For advanced disease, first-line systemic therapies including immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have shown a survival benefit, but there is scarce data on clinical outcomes when used prior to transplantation.

Case Description: We present three case studies of patients who received immunotherapy with atezolizumab/bevacizumab or ipilimumab/nivolumab before liver transplant.

Neuronal information conductance often involves the transmission of action potentials. The spreading of action potentials along the axonal process of a neuron is based on three physical parameters: the axial resistance of the axon, the axonal insulation by glial membranes, and the positioning of voltage-gated ion channels. In vertebrates, myelin and channel clustering allow fast saltatory conductance.
