The frequencies of translocations and dicentrics detected by "chromosome painting" in lymphocytes were estimated in 115 healthy donors and in 273 people exposed to uncontrolled irradiation at low doses 1-4 years ago. Age responses of both types of exchanges at the age range from 3 to 85 years fit to quadratic model. The frequency of translocations grew faster with age than the frequency of dicentrics. The yields of stable exchanges in exposed people was significantly higher than those in control donors of corresponding ages.

Temporal ablation of the ciliary protein IFT88 alters normal brainwave patterns.

Sci Rep

January 2025

Department of Molecular, Cellular, and Biomedical Sciences, College of Life Sciences and Agriculture, University of New Hampshire, Durham, NH, 03824, USA.

Article Synopsis
  • The primary cilium is a crucial organelle involved in various signaling pathways, and its dysfunction is linked to conditions like Bardet-Biedl syndrome, Alzheimer's, and autism, all of which can lead to cognitive impairment.
  • Researchers studied the effects of temporarily disabling the IFT88 gene, vital for cilia formation, in adult mice to understand cilia's role in brain activity.
  • The findings showed that mice lacking functional cilia had significant learning deficits and abnormal brainwave patterns, emphasizing the importance of primary cilia for proper neural function and memory in adults.

Xylem plasticity is important for trees to coordinate hydraulic efficiency and safety under changing soil water availability. However, the physiological and transcriptional regulations of cambium on xylem plasticity are not well understood. In this study, mulberry saplings of drought-resistant Wubu and drought-susceptible Zhongshen1 were subjected to moderate or severe drought stresses for 21 days and subsequently rewatered for 12 days.

[Acquisition of Primary Ph Bone Marrow Cells and Establishment of Ph B-ALL Mouse Model].

Zhongguo Shi Yan Xue Ye Xue Za Zhi

December 2024

Blood Disease Institute, Xuzhou Medical University,Xuzhou 221000, Jiangsu Province, China.

Article Synopsis
  • The objective of the study was to harvest primary Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph) cells from B-acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) and create a B-ALL mouse model.
  • Methods included infecting bone marrow cells from C57BL/6J mice with a retrovirus, followed by the transplantation of transfected cells into irradiated mice, resulting in the establishment of multiple generations of Ph cells.
  • The results showed significant health deterioration in the mice post-transplant, with pathological features such as weight loss and leukemic cell infiltration in the liver, confirming the successful creation of a B-ALL mouse model through progressive passages of Ph cells.

Background: The impact of protein-bound uremic toxins, specifically indoxyl sulfate (IS) on peritoneal dialysis (PD) complications remains controversial. This study aimed to explore the link between serum total IS (tIS) levels, proinflammatory cytokines in serum and peritoneal dialysis effluent (PDE), and PD technique survival.

Methods: In this prospective cohort study, 84 patients were followed up for three years and analyzed.

Cilia in the fallopian tubes (CFT) play an important role in female infertility, but have not been explored comprehensively. This review reveals the detection techniques for CFT function and morphology, and the related analysis of female infertility and other gynaecological disorders. CFT differentiate from progenitor cells, and develop into primary cilia and motile cilia.
