The S type of CMS in maize is characterized by a pollen collapse phenotype and a unique paradigm for fertility restoration in which numerous nuclear restorer-of-fertility lethal mutations rescue pollen function but condition homozygous-lethal seed phenotypes. Two nonallelic restorer mutations recovered from Mutator transposon-active lines were investigated to determine the mechanisms of pollen fertility restoration and seed lethality.

- Total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT) for locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) did not show improved survival compared to standard chemoradiotherapy, and previous trials did not isolate the impacts of various risk factors.
- A retrospective study of 331 patients with T4 and/or N2 rectal adenocarcinoma indicated that 93.4% achieved R0 resection, with a 3-year overall survival rate of 84%, but different high-risk features resulted in varying clinical outcomes.
- The study found that while adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) improved survival in the overall cohort and N2 subgroup, it did not benefit those with T4 disease; thus, treatment strategies should be tailored
Article Synopsis
- Prenatal exposure to specific components of cannabis, like THC and CBD, has been linked to increased risks of neuropsychiatric disorders, affecting both males and females differently.
- In a rat model study, offspring exposed to these cannabinoids showed low birth weight and distinct behavioral changes related to anxiety and social cognition during adolescence.
- Analysis of brain regions involved in cognitive development revealed that prenatal cannabinoid exposure disrupts the endocannabinoid system, leading to potential long-term neurodevelopmental issues.
