Ectopic expression of LONELY GUY7 in epidermis of internodal segments for de novo shoot regeneration without phytohormone treatment in ipecac.

In many plant species, the application of exogenous phytohormones is crucial for initiating de novo shoot regeneration. However, ipecac [Carapichea ipecacuanha (Brot) L. Andersson] has a unique ability to develop adventitious shoots on the epidermis of internodal segments without phytohormone treatment.

[A Case of Primary Angiosarcoma of the Small Intestine Triggered by Gastrointestinal Bleeding].

An 87-year-old man with complaints of palpitations and digestive bleeding previously visited another hospital. He was referred to our hospital because of anemia. Small bowel endoscopy revealed an elevated lesion with bleeding from the ileum.

A Role for Periostin Pathological Variants and Their Interaction with HSP70-1a in Promoting Pancreatic Cancer Progression and Chemoresistance.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) characterized by an abundant cancer stroma is an aggressive malignancy with a poor prognosis. Periostin (Pn) is a key extracellular matrix (ECM) protein in various tumor progression. Previously, we described the role of Pn alternative splicing variants (ASVs) with specific functional features in breast cancer.

A rare case of numerous parasitic myomas after laparoscopic myomectomy.

Parasitic myoma is a relatively rare disease in which one or more leiomyomas form outside the uterus; however, the detailed causes are unknown. Few sporadic reports are available, and per our research, the maximum number of parasitic myomas reported to date was 26, and almost all cases were treated by surgical resection. We report a rare case of numerous parasitic myomas in the abdominal cavity, possibly including an intrathoracic lesion, which could not be resected completely.

Girdin deficiency causes developmental and epileptic encephalopathy with hippocampal sclerosis and interneuronopathy.

Objective: Loss-of-function mutations in the GIRDIN/CCDC88A gene cause developmental epileptic encephalopathy (DEE) in humans. However, its pathogenesis is largely unknown. Global knockout mice of the corresponding orthologous gene (gKOs) have a preweaning lethal phenotype with growth failure, preventing longitudinal analysis.
