Innovative Therapies Targeting Drug-Resistant Biomarkers in Metastatic Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma (ccRCC).

A thorough study of Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma (ccRCC) shows that combining tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) shows promising results in addressing the tumor-promoting influences of abnormal immunological and molecular biomarkers in metastatic Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma (ccRCC). These abnormal biomarkers enhance drug resistance, support tumor growth, and trigger cancer-related genes. Ongoing clinical trials are testing new treatment options that appear more effective than earlier ones.

Expression of FET-1 related transcripts during chicken embryogenesis suggests a role in muscle development.

The genetic basis of somatic cell identity in avian sex determination is still unknown. FET1, an endogenous retrovirus, has previously been demonstrated to be expressed during gonad development. Here, we report expression of FET1 related transcripts in non-gonadal tissue during chicken development.

Fgf17: A regulator of the mid/hind brain boundary in mammals.

The Fibroblast growth factor (FGFs) family consists of at least 22 members that exert their function by binding and activating fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs). The Fgf8/FgfD subfamily member, Fgf17, is located on human chromosome 8p21.3 and mouse chromosome 14 D2.

Data-Driven and Cell-Specific Determination of Nuclei-Associated Actin Structure.

Quantitative and volumetric assessment of filamentous actin fibers (F-actin) remains challenging due to their interconnected nature, leading researchers to utilize threshold based or qualitative measurement methods with poor reproducibility. Here we introduce a novel machine learning based methodology for accurate quantification and reconstruction of nuclei-associated F-actin. Utilizing a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), we segment actin filaments and nuclei from 3D confocal microscopy images and then reconstruct each fiber by connecting intersecting contours on cross-sectional slices.

Early postnatal development of the primary visual areas 17 and 18 of the cat cerebral cortex: An SMI-32 study.

Using anti-neurofilament H non-phosphorylated antibodies (SMI-32) as markers for the neuronal maturation level and Y channel responsible for motion processing, we investigated early postnatal development of the primary visual areas 17 and 18 in cats aged 0, 10, 14, and 34 days and in adults. Two analyzed parameters of SMI-32-immunolabeling were used: the total proportion of SMI-32-labeling and the density of labeled neurons. (i) The developmental time course of the total proportion of SMI-32-labeling shows the general increase in the accumulation of heavy-chain neurofilaments.

CORRECTION OF PATHOLOGICAL CHANGES IN SALIVARY GLANDS OF ANIMALS WITH PACLITAXEL-INDUCED NEUROPATHY.

Aim: The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of paclitaxel-induced peripheral neuropathy on the development of pathological changes in the salivary glands of animals and to explore the possibility of correction of the identified changes with vitamin B/ATP complex.

Protocol to establish an oviduct epithelial cell line derived from Gallus gallus using Percoll for in vitro validation of recombinant proteins.

In vitro validation of therapeutic and recombinant proteins expressed from transgenic chickens is limited by the co-culture of fibroblasts. Here, we present a protocol for isolating pure epithelial cells derived from the magnum tubular glands of the chicken oviduct. We describe steps for preparing solutions and buffers, tissue collection, processing, dissociation, and Percoll density centrifugation to separate the epithelial cells from co-isolated fibroblasts.

Laser-Formed Sensors with Electrically Conductive MWCNT Networks for Gesture Recognition Applications.

Currently, an urgent need in the field of wearable electronics is the development of flexible sensors that can be attached to the human body to monitor various physiological indicators and movements. In this work, we propose a method for forming an electrically conductive network of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) in a matrix of silicone elastomer to make stretchable sensors sensitive to mechanical strain. The electrical conductivity and sensitivity characteristics of the sensor were improved by using laser exposure, through the effect of forming strong carbon nanotube (CNT) networks.

[Interferonogenic activity of the strain BH-3 duck hepatitis virus type I ()].

Introduction: Duck viral hepatitis type I (DVH-I) is a poorly studied contagious disease caused by RNA-containing duck (Anatinae) hepatitis virus type I (Picornaviridae: Avihepatovirus: Avihepatovirus A). This infection is widespread in many countries, including Russia, and causes significant damage to industrial duck breeding. The study of interferonogenic activity of its etiologic agent strains is of great importance in solving the problem of developing effective means to control the disease.

Endocrine-disrupting activity of mancozeb.

The objective of the present study was to review the existing data on the mechanisms involved in the endocrine disrupting activity of mancozeb (MCZ) in its main targets, including thyroid and gonads, as well as other endocrine tissues that may be potentially affected by MCZ. MCZ exposure was shown to interfere with thyroid functioning through impairment of thyroid hormone synthesis due to inhibition of sodium-iodine symporter (NIS) and thyroid peroxidase (TPO) activity, as well as thyroglobulin expression. Direct thyrotoxic effect may also contribute to thyroid pathology upon MCZ exposure.

Heterochrony of postnatal accumulation of nonphosphorylated heavy-chain neurofilament by neurons of the cat dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus.

Accumulation of the heavy-chain neurofilaments reflects the maturation status of neuronal structures. The spatial distribution and postnatal developmental dynamic of neurons expressing nonphosphorylated heavy-chain neurofilaments (labeled by SMI-32 antibody) were analyzed in the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (LGNd) of the cat. Both interlaminar and intralaminar differences in the dynamic of SMI-32 staining were observed.

[The main results of clinical trials of the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of the perspective anti-tuberculosis drug makozinone (PBTZ169)].

Unlabelled: Tuberculosis is a chronic infectious disease, usually localized in the respiratory system and representing one of the most important global social and biomedical health problems associated with the spread of therapy-resistant forms (multidrug-resistant and extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis). One of the most promising targets for the development of antimycobacterial drugs is the enzyme DprE1, which is involved in the synthesis of the cell wall of mycobacteria. In the series of DprE1 inhibitor drugs, the most advanced drug is PBTZ169 (INN maсozinone).

Hepatic glycogen synthase (GYS2) deficiency: seven novel patients and seven novel variants.

Unlabelled: Glycogen storage disease type 0 (GSD 0) is an autosomal recessive disorder of glycogen metabolism caused by mutations in the gene manifesting in infancy or early childhood and characterized by ketotic hypoglycemia after prolonged fasting, and postprandial hyperglycemia and hyperlactatemia. GSD 0 is a rare form of hepatic glycogen storage disease with less than 30 reported patients in the literature so far.DNA samples of 93 Russian patients with clinical diagnoses of hepatic GSDs were collected and analyzed by next-generation sequencing custom target panel and by direct sequencing.

[Case of a Сombination of Lupus Erythematosus, Antiphospholipid Syndrome and Myocardial Infarction].

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a systemic autoimmune disease of unknown etiology characterized by a wide range of clinical manifestations with damage to various organs and systems of the body. There are bad prognostic factors for SLE: damage to the heart, kidney, central nervous system, the development of hematological crises and secondary antiphospholipid syndrome. A number of authors consider systemic lupus erythematosus a "new" risk factor for atherosclerosis.

α-Galactosidase A/lysoGb3 ratio as a potential marker for Fabry disease in females.

Fabry disease (FD [MIM:301500]) is an X-linked lysosomal storage disorder caused by mutations in the GLA gene. Deficient activity of its product, lysosomal enzyme α-galactosidase A (α-Gal A), leads to excessive accumulation of glycosphingolipids in cells of multiple organs. The establishing of the diagnosis is challenge in female patients because of milder clinical manifestation and normal α-Gal A activity.
