The molecule E2 is present on T lymphocytes and thymocytes and is implicated in rosette phenomenon most probably via interaction with CD2. The discrepancy observed between rosette levels and lymphocyte phenotypes in the follow-up of kidney-transplanted patients treated with antilymphocyte globulins (ALG), methylprednisolone and azathioprine leaded us to study the effect of ALG on E2 molecule.

Background: , a gene encoding a synaptic scaffolding protein, is implicated in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and is disrupted in Phelan-McDermid syndrome (PMS). Despite evidence of regression or worsening of ASD-like symptoms in individuals with PMS, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Although is highly expressed in the cerebellar cortical granule cells, its role in cerebellar function and contribution to behavioral deficits in ASD models are unknown.

The steroid hormone aldosterone, produced by the zona glomerulosa (zG) of the adrenal gland, is a master regulator of plasma electrolytes and blood pressure. While aldosterone control by the renin-angiotensin system is well understood, other key regulatory factors have remained elusive. Here, we replicated a prior association between a non-coding variant in and an increased risk of primary aldosteronism, a prevalent and debilitating disease caused by excessive aldosterone production.

The application of double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) to plant surfaces has emerged as a promising tool for manipulating gene expression in plants and pathogens, offering new opportunities for crop improvement. While research has shown the capability of exogenous dsRNAs to silence genes, the full spectrum of their impact, particularly on the intricate network of microRNAs (miRNAs), remains largely unexplored. Here, we show that the exogenous application of chalcone synthase ()-encoding dsRNA to the rosette leaves of induced extensive alterations in the miRNA profile, while non-specific bacterial neomycin phosphotransferase II () dsRNA had a minimal effect.

(1) Introduction: Diagnostic ureteroscopy (URS) is an important component in the workup of upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC). Whether URS was associated with increased recurrence in the bladder was not fully concluded. The current study aimed to evaluate the implication of URS on the incidences of intravesical recurrence following radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) in non-metastatic UTUC patients without prior history of bladder cancer via multi-institutional data.
