Article Synopsis
- SKA3 is linked to poor prognosis in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and plays a crucial role in chromosome separation and cell division.
- Investigations revealed that high SKA3 levels are associated with increased tumor cell proliferation and impaired immune cell infiltration, which negatively impacts patient survival rates.
- The study suggests SKA3 could serve as a potential biomarker for HCC and indicates sensitivity to certain chemotherapy drugs in patients with high SKA3 expression.
Aim: To explore the correlation between diabetic retinopathy (DR) and (Hp) infection, based on data from a physical examination population.
Methods: This cross-sectional retrospective analysis included data of 73 824 health examination participants from December 2018 to December 2019. Participants were divided into the diabetic group and non-diabetic group, non-diabetic retinopathy (NDR) group, non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) group, proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) group, and Hp infection group.
Next-generation sequencing technologies provide opportunities to further understand genetic variation, even within closely related cultivars. We performed whole genome resequencing of two elite indica rice varieties, RGD-7S and Taifeng B, whose F1 progeny showed hybrid weakness and hybrid vigor when grown in the early- and late-cropping seasons, respectively. Approximately 150 million 100-bp pair-end reads were generated, which covered ∼86% of the rice (Oryza sativa L.

- The study investigates hybrid weakness (HW) in rice, specifically focusing on F1 plants from a cross between two indica varieties, Taifeng A and V1134, which exhibited growth issues at low temperatures.
- HW plants displayed poor growth, fewer panicles, and abnormal leaf development, with cytological analysis showing significant cellular deviations compared to parental lines.
- Genetic mapping identified two dominant genes, Hw3 and Hw4, as responsible for HW, with the potential candidate gene LOC_Os11g44310 linked to Hw3, found only in V1134 and absent in Taifeng A.
