alteration in iPSCs give rise to disease-like cellular vacuolation phenotype in the astrocyte lineage.

Background: Megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts (MLC), a rare and progressive neurodegenerative disorder involving the white matter, is not adequately recapitulated by current disease models. Somatic cell reprogramming, along with advancements in genome engineering, may allow the establishment of human models of MLC for disease modeling and drug screening. In this study, we utilized cellular reprogramming and gene-editing techniques to develop induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) models of MLC to recapitulate the cellular context of the classical MLC-impacted nervous system.

Engineering of Cd Zn S Nanomaterials for Fabrication of Hybrid Cd Zn S/Si Heterojunction Broadband Photo Detectors.

Effective engineering of nanostructured materials provides a scope to explore the underlying photoelectric phenomenon completely. A simple cost-effective chemical reduction route is taken to grow nanoparticles of Cd Zn S with varying = 1, 0.7, 0.

Development of a Paper-Based Disposal Thin-Film Solid-Phase Microextraction Tool for the Quantification of Environmentally Hazardous 4-Chlorophenol in Water.

The presence of chlorinated compounds in water resources presents various environmental and health risks. Therefore, there is a precise need to develop a potential technique for fast and efficient monitoring of chlorinated contaminants in water due to environmental protection and regulation compliance. Here, we designed a paper-based thin-film solid-phase microextraction (TF-SPME) patch to estimate 4-chlorophenol (4-CRP), a widely known environmentally hazardous pollutant in water samples.

Evolving Paradigms in the Treatment of Oligometastatic Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma.

Multiple randomized trials have suggested that the addition of comprehensive metastasis-directed therapy to best systemic therapy improves disease control and survival among patients with oligometastatic disease, even for histologies with a high propensity for rapid spread. Here, we review the growing literature supporting the oligometastatic paradigm in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. We summarize key details from nascent institutional series and reflect on the recently reported phase II randomized EXTEND trial.

Complete mitochondrial genome sequence analysis revealed double matrilineal components in Indian Ghoongroo pigs.

This research aimed to characterize the mitochondrial genome of the Ghoongroo (GH) pig, a notable breed in India, along with its crossbred varieties, to elucidate their matrilineal components, evolutionary history, and implications for conservation. Seven pigs (5 GH, 2 crossbred, namely Rani and Asha) were sequenced for complete mitochondrial genome, while 24 pigs (11 GH, 6 Rani, and 7 Asha) were sequenced for the complete D-loop of the mitochondrial genome. The genome size of these pigs was determined to be 16,690 bp.
