Article Synopsis
  • Homeobox genes are important for organ development and differentiation, and in humans, they are divided into four clusters (HOXA, HOXB, HOXC, HOXD).
  • This study focused on the role of these genes in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), finding that while mutations were rare, seven specific homeobox genes were significantly different in ESCC tissues compared to non-cancerous ones.
  • The study revealed that these genes' dysregulation may affect cancer pathways and is linked to poor survival rates, suggesting their potential as prognostic biomarkers and targets for new therapies.

Isospora sporophilae Carvalho-Filho, Meireles, Ribeiro & Lopes, 2005 was morphologically and molecularly identified from the double-collared seedeater Sporophila frontalis (Verreaux), which is categorised as 'vulnerable' by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN), and from the uniform finch Haplospiza unicolor Cabanis in conserved and anthropomorphic/fragmented areas of Atlantic Forest in the southeastern Brazil. The oöcysts recovered from S. frontalis and H.

In the current study, Isospora sagittulae McQuistion and Capparella, 1992 (Protozoa: Apicomplexa: Eimeriidae) is reported from white-shouldered fire-eyes Pyriglena leucoptera (Vieillot, 1818) in the Atlantic Forest in southeastern Brazil. To date, this coccidian species was described from antbirds in Ecuador and Brazilian Amazon. In this sense, oocysts and measurements of the description of I.

A species of Isospora Schneider, 1881 (Protozoa: Apicomplexa: Eimeriidae) considered as new to science is described and characterised molecularly from the eastern white-throated spadebill Platyrinchus mystaceus Vieillot in the Parque Nacional do Itatiaia, southeastern Brazil. Isospora lopesi n. sp.
