The expression of c-myb mRNA and protein was analyzed in fresh leukemic cells by Northern-blot analyses and by immunofluorescent staining using monoclonal c-myb specific antibodies. Staining of the cells was evaluated by flow cytometry. The results demonstrate c-myb mRNA expression predominantly in acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL, 4/4 cases), acute myeloic leukemia (AML, 17/17) and chronic myeloic leukemia (CML, 12/12) but rarely in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL, 1/17). Immunofluorescent analyses revealed expression of c-myb protein in the nucleus of ALL (5/7) and AML (9/9) with a good correlation of c-myb-positive cells and with the number of proliferating (Ki67-positive) blast cells.

The trichomes of mustard leaves have significance due to their ability to combat unfavorable external conditions and enhance disease resistance. It was demonstrated that the MYB-bHLH-WD40 (MBW) ternary complex consists of MYB, basic Helix-Loop-Helix (bHLH), and WD40-repeat (WD40) family proteins and plays a key role in regulating trichome formation and density. The bHLH gene family, particularly the Myelocytomatosis (MYC) proteins that possess the structural bHLH domain (termed bHLH-MYC), are crucial to the formation and development of leaf trichomes in plants.

Salt stress is a significant environmental factor that impedes maize growth and yield. Exogenous 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) has been shown to mitigate the detrimental effects of various environmental stresses on plants. However, its regulatory role in the photosynthesis mechanisms of maize seedlings under salt stress remains poorly understood.

Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ASCs) are commonly employed in clinical treatment for various diseases due to their ability to differentiate into multi-lineage and anti-inflammatory/immunomodulatory properties. Preclinical studies support their use for bone regeneration, healing, and the improvement of functional outcomes. However, a deeper understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying ASC biology is crucial to identifying key regulatory pathways that influence differentiation and enhance regenerative potential.
