Two brothers presented in their mid-forties with movement disorders including atypical parkinsonism, choreiform movements, stereotypies, ataxia and dysarthria. Both brothers showed putaminal lucencies on imaging and, in the proband, a deficiency of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDHC) was found on skin fibroblast assay.

Objective: This study aimed to elucidate the role of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase-1 (PDK1) in cervical cancer (CC) by investigating its impact on cell proliferation, migration, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) under hypoxic conditions.
Methods: PDK1-silenced CC cell lines were established using lentiviral shRNA technology. Cell migration and invasion were assessed through scratch and Transwell assays, respectively.

Recent advances in cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) have facilitated the high-resolution structural determination of macromolecular complexes in their native states, providing valuable insights into their dynamic behaviors. However, insufficient understanding or experience with the cryo-EM image processing parameters can result in the loss of biological meaning. In this paper, we investigate the dihydrolipoyl acetyltransferase (E2) inner core complex of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) and reconstruct the 3D maps using five different symmetry parameters.

Cisplatin nephrotoxicity is a significant clinical issue, and currently, no approved drug exists to prevent cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury (AKI). This study investigated whether sodium phenylbutyrate (4-PBA), a chemical chaperone, can prevent cisplatin-induced AKI. Six consecutive days of intraperitoneal injections of 4-PBA were administered in a murine model before and after the cisplatin challenge.

Article Synopsis
- This study investigated gene expression in 23 yeast strains across six subpopulations to understand how winemaking conditions and anthropization influence traits like lactic acid production.
- The analysis showed that different strains have unique transcriptomic profiles linked to fermentation processes, highlighting how anthropized environments lead to metabolic specialization.
- Findings suggest that understanding these gene expression differences can optimize biological acidification and enhance specific traits needed in modern winemaking, such as improved production of lactic acid and other important metabolites.
