Article Synopsis
- * Researchers determined the crystal structure of RNase He1 and studied how specific acidic amino acid regions influence its optimal performance at lower pH levels.
- * Mutations in certain acidic residues of RNase He1 improved its anti-tumor effects, highlighting the importance of these amino acids for enhancing substrate binding and suggesting potential for discovering new targets in enzymatic activity modification.

Article Synopsis
- * Metastatic renal cell carcinoma is rare in the stomatognathic region, making up only 1 to 3% of malignant tumors in that area, with even rarer instances of it affecting the oral mucosal tissue.
- * The review emphasizes the importance of distinguishing between metastatic renal cell carcinoma and malignant salivary gland tumors due to overlapping characteristics.

Article Synopsis
- The study focused on creating a computer model of resin-composite blocks (RCB) using different silane coupling ratios to assess their physical and mechanical properties.
- Seven different nanoscale models were developed, each containing twelve silica nanoparticles mixed with a resin matrix, while ensuring consistent filler volume across models.
- The results indicated that lower silane coupling ratios led to a decrease in the compressive strength of the CAD/CAM RCB, with various analyses performed to evaluate their elastic modulus, Poisson's ratio, and strain distribution.
