Effect of Cdk1 gene disruption on cell cycle progression in newt cells.
Dev Growth Differ
January 2025
Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) are key regulators of cell cycle progression, in conjunction with cyclins. The cyclin-CDK system is highly conserved among eukaryotes, and CDK1 is considered essential for progression through the M phase. However, the extent to which cell cycle progression depends on CDK1 varies between cell types.

Methods: We analyzed the four best ranking players (1st to 4th) in the men's singles competition at the World Badminton Federation (BWF) World Championships 2023, a world tournament whose match videos are available online. Analysis 1 was conducted to determine the location of the players' feet on the court when performing a split-step while moving to the forehand rear court, as well as the width of the stance and the reaction time from that stance to taking the first step.
Purpose: We developed a self-directed Leg And Walking Self-exercise (LAWS) program informed by the Exercise is Medicine initiative and evaluated the feasibility and acceptability of this program in older adults with cancer.
Methods: Over a 1-year period, we prospectively enrolled 40 older adults who received a comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) at a geriatric oncology service and initiated a new line of systemic therapy for advanced cancer as inpatients. LAWS is a tailored, self-directed exercise program consisting of leg resistance training and walking.
Article Synopsis
- A multicenter study involving over 1,200 patients with obstructive sleep apnea aimed to evaluate long-term adherence to CPAP therapy over periods of 90 and 365 days.
- The study found that adherence rates were modest, with approximately 44-57% of patients meeting the criteria for consistent CPAP use, depending on the measurement standards applied.
- Factors such as age, apnea ratio, and the interaction of BMI with oxygen desaturation levels significantly impacted adherence, highlighting the complexity of factors affecting patient compliance with CPAP therapy.
