Forkhead transcription factors comprise a large family of key regulators of embryonic development. Here, we describe the cloning and analysis of the murine Foxi2 gene, coding for a putative 311 amino acid protein resembling Foxi subfamily members in mice and other species. Expression analysis during the final stages of embryonic development revealed that Foxi2 expression is mainly confined to subsets of cells in epithelial structures and particular ducts, in addition to the developing forebrain and neural retina. Since FoxI factors are thought to be implicated in the regulation of cell fate, the highly restricted expression pattern of Foxi2 suggestive of a possible role in controlling cellular identity.

In critically ill patients, the occurrence of multidrug-resistant infection is a significant concern, given its ability to acquire multidrug-resistant, form biofilms and secrete toxic effectors. In Brazil, limited data are available regarding the prevalence of dissemination, and the impact of the type III secretion system (T3SS) on toxin production and biofilm formation in clinical isolates of . This study investigates the dissemination of virulent harbouring the and genes, the presence of T3SS genes and their biofilm-forming capability.

Introduction: Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in women and poses a serious threat to women's health. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been found to be specifically expressed in cancers and regulate the growth and death of tumor cells. The role of circRNAs in breast cancer remain unknown.

Background: Ulcerative Colitis (UC) is characterized by chronic, relapsing and remitting inflammation in the colon and rectum. Pathogenic T cell activity is thought to play a major role in this process. T cell effector function is determined by the T cell receptor (TCR) and the antigen it recognizes.

Non-myeloablative hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is a curative option for individuals with sickle cell disease (SCD). Our traditional goal with this approach has been to achieve a state of mixed donor/recipient chimerism. Recently, we reported an increased risk of hematologic malignancies (HMs) in adults with SCD following graft failure or mixed chimerism.

has emerged as a critical global health threat due to its exceptional survival skills in adverse environment and its ability to acquire antibiotic resistance, presenting significant challenges for infection treatment and control. The World Health Organization has classified carbapenem-resistant as a "Critical Priority" pathogen to guide research and the development of control and prevention strategies. Epidemiological surveillance methodologies provide the tools necessary for classifying into international clonal lineages, facilitating the analysis of molecular characteristics, global dissemination, and evolution.
