Differential Toxicity Responses between Hepatopancreas and Gills in under Chronic Ammonia-N Exposure.

Ammonia nitrogen is one of the main toxic substances in aquatic cultivation environments. Chronic exposure to excessive amounts of ammonia-N creates toxic consequences, retarding the growth of aquatic organisms. This study investigated the growth performance, morphological and physiological alterations, and transcriptome changes in the hepatopancreas and gills of white shrimp .

Exploring potential molecular resistance and clonal evolution in advanced HER2-positive gastric cancer under trastuzumab therapy.

HER2-positive gastric cancer (GC) makes up 15-20% of all GC incidences, and targeted therapy with trastuzumab is the standard of treatment. However, the mechanisms of resistance to trastuzumab are still not fully understood and presents a significant challenge in clinical practice. In this study, whole exome sequencing (WES) was performed on paired tumor tissues before trastuzumab treatment (at baseline) and at progressive disease (PD) in 23 GC patients.
