Introduction: Osteosarcoma, a highly aggressive bone cancer primarily affecting children and young adults, remains a significant challenge in clinical oncology. Metastasis stands as the primary cause of mortality in osteosarcoma patients. However, the mechanisms driving this process remain incompletely understood.

- Coral reefs worldwide are facing threats from ocean warming, making it crucial to identify coral varieties that can withstand higher temperatures for conservation purposes.
- The study examines three genetically distinct but morphologically similar coral lineages (L1, L2, L3) across different reef conditions: classic reefs with typical environments and extreme reefs with higher temperatures and light challenges.
- Results indicate that each lineage has adapted differently to their environments, with L1 being a classic reef specialist, L3 as an extreme reef specialist, and L2 acting as a generalist, highlighting the varying strategies corals use to survive under stress.
Animal antibiotic use contributes to antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in humans. While animal manure benefits soil fertility, it also acts as hotspot for antibiotic residues, antibiotic-resistant bacteria, and their genes. Amending soils with poultry litter is recognized as "magic" among horticulture farmers and it remains a common practice globally.

Although CA is ubiquitous, its occurrence and major determinants have been mainly explored among graduate students and junior scientists in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark where the ratio of CA ranged from 13 to 40%. In addition to lacking comparable figures, developing countries usually lack institutional plans for promoting integrity and effective deterrents against CA and other malpractices.

Most likely due to methodological approaches and/or disadvantages, the concurrence of both genetic events in a single patient has hardly been reported and even more rarely the pathogenic variant has been regarded as the cause of the phenotype when a chromosomal alteration is initially identified.
Case Presentation: Here, we describe a NDD patient with a 6p nonpathogenic paracentric inversion paternally transmitted and a de novo pathogenic variant in the GRIN2B gene.
