Loss of anticancer NK cell function in AML patients is associated with fatal disease progression and remains poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that AML-blasts isolated from patients rapidly inhibit NK cell function and escape NK cell-mediated killing. Transcriptome analysis of NK cells exposed to AML-blasts revealed increased CREM expression and transcriptional activity, indicating enhanced cAMP signalling, confirmed by uniform production of the cAMP-inducing prostanoid PGE2 by all AML-blast isolates from patients.

Background: Previous studies have identified areas of cognitive weakness in children diagnosed with Specific Learning Disorder (SLD), in the areas of working memory and processing speed in particular. In adulthood, this literature is still scant, and no studies have compared the cognitive profile of university students with dyslexia (DD) with that of students with Mixed-type SLD.

Method: Thus, in this study, the WAIS-IV was used to examine the cognitive functioning of three groups of university students: students with DD, with Mixed-type SLD, and typical students.

Introduction Hemophilic arthropathy affects people with hemophilia (PwH) and causes joint dysfunction and disability. Brazil has a unique situation and implemented policies to improve health care for PwH. The aim of this study was to evaluate the Functional Independence Score in Hemophilia (FISH), Hemophilia Joint Health Score (HJHS), and associated factors among adult PwH attending a Hemophilia Comprehensive Care Center in Brazil.

Article Synopsis
  • Kraenzl. R.S.Oliveira & Dutilh is a unique plant from the Brazilian savannah that shows promise for drug development, particularly for treating Alzheimer's disease.
  • The study demonstrated that the ethanol extract from its leaves can activate important nuclear receptors (PPAR-α and PPAR-γ) and inhibit the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, which is crucial in managing Alzheimer's symptoms.
  • The research also identified key compounds in the plant, such as lycorine and rutin, and highlighted its antioxidant properties through various tests.
