Challenges and opportunities of poly(amino acid) nanomedicines in cancer therapy.
Nanomedicine (Lond)
October 2024
Article Synopsis
- *Many of these nanomedicines perform better in animal studies than in actual therapeutic outcomes, raising concerns about their efficacy.
- *The review discusses the challenges in the field, such as issues with the enhanced permeability and retention effect, production methods, and highlights new opportunities from advancements in artificial intelligence.
Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the genetic basis of the peel stripe margin pattern in watermelons by crossing two distinct lines with different margin appearances, revealing a single recessive gene responsible for the clear pattern.
- - Genetic mapping techniques identified a specific location on chromosome 6 that contains a MYB transcription factor gene, with two significant mutations linked to the clear stripe pattern.
- - Further analysis of gene expression and transcriptomic data during key developmental stages suggests that numerous transcription factors and metabolic processes contribute to the differences in peel patterns between the two watermelon lines.

Cucurbits (Cucurbitaceae family) include many economically important fruit vegetable crops such as watermelon, pumpkin/squash, cucumber, and melon. Seed size (SS) is an important trait in cucurbits breeding, which is controlled by quantitative trait loci (QTL). Recent advances have deciphered several signaling pathways underlying seed size variation in model plants such as Arabidopsis and rice, but little is known on the genetic basis of SS variation in cucurbits.
