Article Synopsis
- Macrobrachium acanthurus is a Brazilian prawn whose cultivation is economically important, prompting research into effective breeding techniques.
- Eyestalk ablation, a common practice to enhance ovarian development in crustaceans, was studied in both control and ablated female prawns, revealing no significant impact on fertility or brood quality.
- Findings indicate that unilateral eyestalk ablation does not improve reproductive performance or ovarian maturation in M. acanthurus, suggesting it is unnecessary in their farming practices.
Despite progress in treatment strategies, only ~24% of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients survive >1 year. Our goal was to elucidate deregulated pathways modulated by microRNAs (miRNAs) in PDAC and Vater ampulla (AMP) cancers. Global miRNA expression was identified in 19 PDAC, 6 AMP and 25 paired, histologically normal pancreatic tissues using the GeneChip 4.

Poor outcomes of some chronic myeloid leukemia ((CML) patients have been associated with submicroscopic der(9q) deletions, particularly the 5'ABL region. Deletion profiles of 120 BCR/ABL+ CML patients were studied using the dual-fusion fluorescence in situ hybridization probe. Poor prognosis was associated with 5'ABL deletion but not with 3'BCR deletion.
