Control of HS synthesis by the monomer-oligomer transition of OsCBSX3 for modulating rice growth-immunity balance.

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is recognized as an important gaseous signaling molecule, similar to nitric oxide and carbon monoxide. However, the synthesis mechanism of H2S and its role in enhancing rice resistance to Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzicola (Xoc) and Xanthomonas oryzae pv.

Variations in Perioperative Thromboprophylaxis Practices: Do the Guidelines Need a Closer Look?

Background: In 2022, the American Association for Thoracic Surgery (AATS) and the European Society of Thoracic Surgeons (ESTS) published joint guidelines regarding the timing, duration, and choice of agent for perioperative venous thromboembolism prophylaxis for thoracic cancer patients. Now, 1 year after their release, we looked to assess practices and general adherence to these recommendations.

Methods: We conducted a survey among board-certified/board-eligible thoracic surgeons in the United States, between July and October 2023.

Fahr's Syndrome With Hypoparathyroidism in a Patient With Schizophrenia and Iron Deficiency Anemia: A Case Report.

Fahr's syndrome is a rare neurological disorder that shows up as calcium deposits in the brain, affecting motor control and cognitive functions. In this case report, a 45-year-old woman with schizophrenia was diagnosed with Fahr's syndrome, which can be challenging to diagnose due to coexisting neurological comorbidity.

Spatial tumor immune heterogeneity facilitates subtype co-existence and therapy response in pancreatic cancer.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) displays a high degree of spatial subtype heterogeneity and co-existence, linked to a diverse microenvironment and worse clinical outcome. However, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, by combining preclinical models, multi-center clinical, transcriptomic, proteomic, and patient bioimaging data, we identify an interplay between neoplastic intrinsic AP1 transcription factor dichotomy and extrinsic macrophages driving subtype co-existence and an immunosuppressive microenvironment.

Biallelic Variant in the AGXT Gene in a Family Segregating Primary Hyperoxaluria; Accurate Genetic Diagnosis and Carrier Detection.

Aim: Autosomal recessive primary hyperoxalurias (PH) are genetic disorders characterised by elevated oxalate production. Mutations in genes involved in glycoxylate metabolism are the underlying cause of PH. Type 1 PH (PH1) results in malfunctioning of alanine-glyoxylate aminotransferase enzymes of liver due to a change in the genetic sequence of alanine-glyoxylate aminotransferase (AGXT) gene.
