Transcription factor TFII-I/GTF2I is ubiquitously expressed and has been shown to play a role in the differentiation of hematopoietic cells and in the response to various cellular stressors. We previously demonstrated that TFII-I acts as a repressor of adult β-globin gene transcription and positively regulates expression of stress response proteins, including ATF3. Here we analyzed the function of TFII-I in TF-1 cells during erythroid differentiation and in response to cellular stress, including unfolded protein response, hypoxia, and oxidative stress.

- A new species of Cyanea was discovered in the Gulf of Guinea from trawl samples taken between 2017 and 2019.
- This species, part of the nozakii-group, has distinctive features such as interrupted radial septa, deeper rhopalial clefts, and a uniformly papillose exumbrella, along with a high number of tentacles.
- Genetically, it is distinct from other species in the group, with significant variation observed in specific genetic regions, marking it as the first of its kind noted in the Atlantic Ocean and in the tropical Atlantic region.
Article Synopsis
- Max Egon Thiel's chapter on rhizostomes ecology up to 1970 covers a wide range of topics but lacks depth in blooms, ecosystem roles, and alien introductions.
- The current review aims to delve into Thiel's interests like seasonality and also explore neglected areas such as the impact of alien species and ecological roles.
- The discussion culminates in evaluating whether rhizostomes should be classified separately from semaeostomes in ecological studies.
Article Synopsis
- This study looked at how early treatment helps babies with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), a condition that affects muscles.
- Researchers checked the health of 66 babies treated within the first 6 weeks of life and found good results, like all babies being able to sit up on their own.
- However, some babies with a certain genetic marker (two SMN2 copies) had a harder time walking compared to those with more copies, showing that more studies are needed to improve their care.
