Recurrent Intracranial Ewing Sarcoma.

Ewing sarcoma is a rare malignant neoplasm that is primarily localized in bone tissues. The prognosis for patients with a newly diagnosed localized Ewing sarcoma has been greatly improved by multimodality treatment. However, treating patients with disseminated or recurrent disease is challenging, with a 5-year overall survival rate of <30%.

Hydroquinone impairs trophoblast migration and invasion via AHR-twist-IFITM1 axis.

Introduction: Embryo implantation is a tightly regulated process, critical for a successful pregnancy. After attachment of the blastocyst to the surface epithelium of the endometrium trophoblast migrate from the trophectoderm and invade into the stromal component of endometrium. Alterations on either process will lead to implantation failure or miscarriage.

Genetic diversity of in sub-Saharan Africa: a two-marker genotyping approach for molecular epidemiological studies.

Introduction: is the most common non-falciparum species in sub-Saharan Africa. Despite this, data on its genetic diversity is scarce. Therefore, we aimed to establish a genotyping approach based on size polymorphic regions that can be easily applied in molecular epidemiological studies.

Smell and Taste Alterations in Patients Receiving Curative or Palliative Chemotherapy-The CONKO 021-ChemTox Trial.

Previous data regarding chemotherapy-induced olfactory and gustatory dysfunction (CIOGD) are heterogeneous due to inconsistent study designs and small numbers of patients. To provide consistent, reliable data, we conducted a cohort study using standardized testing. Patients diagnosed with lymphoma, leukemia, or gastrointestinal malignancies were examined up to five times (T1 to T5), beginning prior to chemotherapy.

Mutations in RABE1C suppress the spirrig mutant phenotype.

The plant BEACH-domain protein SPIRRIG (SPI) is involved in regulating cell morphogenesis and salt stress responses in Arabidopsis thaliana, Arabis alpina, and Marchantia polymorpha and was reported to function in the context of two unrelated cellular processes: vesicular trafficking and P-body mediated RNA metabolism. To further explore the molecular function of SPI, we isolated a second-site mutant, specifically rescuing the spi mutant trichome phenotype. The molecular analysis of the corresponding gene revealed a dominant negative mutation in RABE1C, a ras-related small GTP-binding protein that localizes to Golgi.
