The light-driven water-splitting reaction of photosystem II exposes its key reaction center core protein subunits to irreversible oxidative photodamage. A rapid repair cycle replaces the photodamaged core subunits in plants, but how the large antenna-core supercomplex structures of plant photosystem II disassemble for repair is not currently understood. We find a specific involvement of phosphorylation in removing the peripheral antenna from the core and monomerization of the dimeric cores.

Acute cutaneous presentations in immunocompromised patients demand careful and thorough evaluation. Here, we present the case of a 26-year-old female with acute myeloid leukaemia undergoing salvage chemotherapy, who developed an acutely expanding subcutaneous mass starting on the frontotemporal scalp to the angle of the jaw. Histopathologic evaluation was consistent with sclerosing fat necrosis with overlying psoriasiform spongiotic dermatitis.

Article Synopsis
  • Keratinocyte carcinomas, like basal and squamous cell carcinomas, are common and serious issues for solid organ transplant recipients, necessitating early detection and effective treatment strategies.
  • A Phase III clinical trial, called the SiroSkin trial, will assess the effectiveness of topical sirolimus in reducing skin cancer incidence among these patients compared to a placebo, involving 146 participants over 24 weeks of treatment and 18 months of follow-up.
  • The trial's results aim to enhance management approaches for skin cancers in solid organ transplant recipients and gather evidence on the cost-effectiveness of using topical sirolimus.

Despite the methodological spread of virtual photovoice, alignments to and potential advances for the participatory action research (PAR) and knowledge dissemination (KD) components of in-person photovoice are poorly understood. Detailing the PAR and KD processes, practices, and products drawn from a virtual photovoice study examining men's experiences of and perspectives about equitable intimate partner relationships, the current article offers three thematic findings. The first theme describes adapting established analytics of preview, review, and cross-photo comparisons to categorize and select images from a large collection of participant-produced photographs ( = 714).
