The transcription factor NF-YA10 determines the area explored by Arabidopsis thaliana roots and directly regulates LAZY genes.

Root developmental plasticity relies on transcriptional reprogramming, which largely depends on the activity of transcription factors (TFs). NF-YA2 and NF-YA10 (nuclear factor A2 and A10) are downregulated by the specific miRNA isoform miR169defg. Here, we analyzed the role of the Arabidopsis thaliana TF NF-YA10 in the regulation of lateral root (LR) development.

Minimally invasive versus open liver resection for nonmetastatic hepatocellular carcinoma staged BCLC - B and - C: an Italian multicentric analysis.

Background: Recent papers report significant survival gain after liver resection in BCLC-B and -C HCC patients. The results of minimally invasive liver surgery (MILS) in such patients have not been widely investigated so far.

Methods: Data regarding patients undergoing MILS or open liver resection (OLR) for HCC staged BCLC -B and -C were extracted from the HERCOLES database.

Alternative Splicing Dynamics in Plant Adaptive Responses to Stress.

Plants thrive in dynamic environments by activating sophisticated molecular networks that fine-tune their responses to stress. A key component of these networks is gene regulation at multiple levels, including precursor messenger RNA (pre-mRNA) splicing, which shapes the transcriptome and proteome landscapes. Through the precise action of the spliceosome complex, noncoding introns are removed and coding exons are joined to produce spliced RNA transcripts.

Laparoscopic versus open resection for hepatocellular carcinoma according to the procedure's complexity: real-world weighted data from a national register.

Background: Minimal access liver surgery (MALS) is considered superior to open liver resection (OLR) in reducing the perioperative risk in patients affected by hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). No national-level comparisons exist based on procedure complexity. This study aims to compare postoperative complications, postoperative ascites (POA), and major complications (MC) between MALS and OLR.
