Monogalactosyl diacylglycerol (MGDG) is a major membrane lipid component in plants and is crucial for proper thylakoid functioning. However, MGDG in mammals has not received much attention, partly because of its relative scarcity in mammalian tissues. In addition, the biosynthetic pathway of MGDG in mammals has not been thoroughly analyzed, although some reports have suggested that UGT8, a ceramide galactosyltransferase, has the potential to catalyze MGDG biosynthesis.

- * Results showed that tin perovskite layers exhibited significant downward band bending, which negatively impacts hole selectivity and surface passivation.
- * However, the addition of Sn powder to the precursor solution improved the situation by preventing downward band bending and promoting upward band bending, enhancing hole selectivity and overall efficiency of tin perovskite solar cells.
Article Synopsis
- A retrospective diagnostic study aimed to create a deep learning-based AI model for the automatic detection of osteolytic bone metastasis lesions in CT scans of the thoracolumbar region.
- The study included 263 positive and 172 negative CT scans from TMDU Hospital, with performance metrics showing sensitivity, precision, and F1-score of 0.78, 0.68, and 0.72 per slice, and lower scores per lesion.
- The AI model demonstrated comparable sensitivity to expert radiologists and improved detection rates for resident doctors, indicating its potential clinical usefulness in enhancing patient care.
Background: Primary cardiac myxofibrosarcoma is rare and commonly occurs in the left atrium. Myxofibrosarcoma is aggressive and has a high mortality rate due to its high rate of recurrence. Complete surgical resection is considered important; however, effective treatment options have not been established.
