Inefficient maturation of disease-linked mutant forms of the KCC2 potassium-chloride cotransporter correlates with predicted pathogenicity.

The potassium chloride co-transporter 2 (KCC2) is required for neuronal development, and KCC2 dysregulation is implicated in several neurodevelopmental disorders, including schizophrenia, autism, and epilepsy. A dozen mutations in the KCC2-encoding gene, SLC12A5, are associated with these disorders, but few are fully characterized. To this end, we examined KCC2 biogenesis in a HEK293 cell model.

Comparative translational reprogramming of during mechanical wounding.

Unlabelled: (soybean) is a highly protein-rich legume that also contains oils and vitamins. Unfortunately, soybean faces many biotic and abiotic stresses including heat, drought, pests, wounds, infections, and salinity, which limits the crop productivity. Among these, mechanical wounding (MW) causes significant harm to plants, creates a passage for invading pathogens, and disrupts plant metabolism.

Targeting Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase in Oncology: Identification and Computational Validation of Novel Inhibitors for Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma, Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, and Neuroblastoma.

Background: Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK) is implicated in several cancers, including anaplastic large cell lymphoma, non-small cell lung cancer, and neuroblastoma. Targeted inhibition of ALK represents a promising therapeutic strategy.

Aims: This study aimed to identify and evaluate potential ALK inhibitors using virtual screening and computational analyses to determine their binding stability, affinity, and dynamic behavior, ultimately assessing their potential as therapeutic agents for ALK-driven cancers.

Case of recurrent Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberans- factors and pitfalls.

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a benign but locally aggressive tumor originating from the skin's fibroblasts. In its appearance, the tumor can resemble other harmless conditions such as a hypertrophic scar or even acne, with no definitive symptoms. A 32-year-old woman presented with a 2-month history of a lesion over the neck.
