The TRAPP (TRAnsport Protein Particle) protein complex is a multi-subunit complex involved in vesicular transport between intracellular compartments. The TRAPP complex plays an important role in endoplasmic reticulum-to-Golgi and Golgi-to-plasma membrane transport, as well as autophagy. TRAPP complexes comprise a core complex, TRAPPI, and the association of peripheral protein subunits to make two complexes, known as TRAPPII and TRAPPIII, which act as Guanine Nucleotide Exchange Factors (GEFs) of Rab11 and Rab1, respectively.

- The study investigates the impact of neurodevelopmental disorders (NF1, TSC, FXS, and NS) on brain volume, particularly focusing on global and subcortical structures, to understand disease mechanisms.
- A meta-analysis of 23 studies involving 1,556 subjects revealed that NF1 and FXS are associated with larger brain volumes, while NS shows smaller brain volumes.
- Notably, TSC showed no significant differences in brain volume compared to typical controls, with no moderating effects from age, sex, or IQ observed across studies.
Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on a rare case where a patient's left vertebral artery originates from the left external carotid artery, highlighting its embryological background.
- - The case involved a 55-year-old male with sepsis who underwent CT and CT angiography, revealing a unique vertebral artery anatomy, while his right vertebral artery was underdeveloped (hypoplastic).
- - The findings indicate that such anatomical variations are usually asymptomatic but are important for medical professionals to recognize for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment planning.
The corn leafhopper, (DeLong and Wolcott) (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae), is an invasive insect that can cause damage to maize ( L.) in two ways: by direct feeding and the transmission of several plant pathogens. is an invasive and serious economic pest of maize that has spread from its center of origin in Mexico to the southernmost parts of the United States.

Materials And Methods: Included studies were epidemiological investigations, clinical trials, or human studies that directly compared the impact on OHRQoL between individuals with dental fluorosis and those without, utilizing valid OHRQoL assessment tools. The searches were conducted up to March 2024 in databases, including PubMed, Scielo, LILACS, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase, and the Virtual Health Library.
