Article Synopsis
- Researchers developed engineered enzymes that can add acylation (a chemical modification) to certain proteins, helping to explore how these changes affect gene regulation and epigenetics.
- They discovered that targeting one of these engineered enzymes to gene promoters boosts their activation, but targeting it to enhancers is less effective.
- The team made a mutation in a human enzyme that reduces toxicity while keeping its functions, which improves methods for delivering therapies—this work aids in understanding and editing the epigenome for research and potential medical advancements.
Objective: Follow-up study to evaluate perceptions of COVID-19 vaccination and booster with psychological distress during the COVID-19 pandemic and Omicron surge in women considering or undergoing fertility treatment.
Materials And Methods: Cross-sectional anonymous survey (N = 2558) from a single academic fertility center. Five hundred forty patients completed the survey (response rate = 21.
Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated medical students’ understanding and views on oocyte cryopreservation, focusing on a group of female students from the University of Kansas.
- Conducted through an online survey to 873 students, it received a 30% response rate with 122 female participants providing insights on their demographic knowledge and attitudes toward the procedure.
- Results showed most female medical students were aware of oocyte cryopreservation but had limited knowledge about fertility impacts and procedure effectiveness; many expressed a willingness to consider the procedure while feeling societal pressure to delay having children.
Do Fertility Preservation Outcomes in Patients Diagnosed with Lymphoma Differ Based on Cancer Stage?
J Adolesc Young Adult Oncol
April 2024
This study aims to investigate whether oocyte stimulation outcomes in fertility preservation (FP) vary in patients with different stages of lymphoma. This is a retrospective cohort study conducted at Northwestern Memorial Hospital (NMH). Between 2006 and 2017, 89 patients were identified with a diagnosis of lymphoma who contacted the FP navigator at NMH.

- A study looked at how women going through fertility treatment felt about getting a COVID-19 vaccine and their mental health during the pandemic.
- Many women showed some worry about the vaccine, often because they didn't trust the medical system, and a lot were feeling mentally stressed.
- It's important to help these women feel more secure about vaccines and to support their mental health during this tough time.
