The factors that determine intracellular polarity are largely unknown. In Drosophila oocytes one of the earliest polar events is the positioning of the microtubule-organizing center (MTOC). Here we present data that are consistent with the hypothesis that maelstrom is required for posterior positioning of the MTOC.

Target-specific requirements for RNA interference can arise through restricted RNA amplification despite the lack of specialized pathways.

Since double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) is effective for silencing a wide variety of genes, all genes are typically considered equivalent targets for such RNA interference (RNAi). Yet, loss of some regulators of RNAi in the nematode can selectively impair the silencing of some genes. Here, we show that such selective requirements can be explained by an intersecting network of regulators acting on genes with differences in their RNA metabolism.

Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the impact of high-dose docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) supplementation on the risk of severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in very preterm infants born at less than 29 weeks of gestation.
- It will employ an individual participant data (IPD) meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials, assessing severe BPD outcomes at 36 weeks' postmenstrual age while considering various neonatal morbidities.
- Ethical approval was secured for each trial, and informed consent was obtained from parents, ensuring proper collaboration and data sharing among participating institutions.
High-Throughput and Automated Detection of HLA-B*27 Using the LabTurbo AIO System.

Division of Laboratory Medicine, Asia University Hospital, Asia University, Taichung 413, Taiwan.
The adoption of an automated system can decrease the hands-on time requirements in a clinical laboratory setting. For the detection of HLA-B*27, implementing a high-throughput and fully automated system has several advantages over using manual methods. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate automation efficiency for the detection of HLA-B*27.

The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has created a maelstrom of challenges affecting virtually every aspect of global healthcare system. Critical hospital capacity issues, depleted ventilator and personal protective equipment stockpiles, severely strained supply chains, profound economic slowdown, and the tremendous human cost all culminated in what is questionably one of the most profound challenges that humanity faced in decades, if not centuries. Effective global response to the current pandemic will require innovation and ingenuity.
