During short-term (6 h) or long-term (24 h) incubation of fetal rat liver cells in primary cultures, 10(-3) M dibutyryl-derivative of cyclic AMP (Bt2cAMP) and sodium butyrate decreased total RNA and protein synthesis. In contrast, dibutyryl-cyclic GMP (Bt2cGMP) at the same dose (10(-3) M) was without significant effect on RNA and protein biosynthesis. During short-term (4 h) incubation 10(-3) M Bt2cAMP and Bt2cGMP stimulated serum albumin production, while sodium butyrate was without effect. In long-term (22 h) incubation only 10(-3) M Bt2cAMP noticeably increased albumin production. The results obtained clearly show that Bt2cGMP, unlike Bt2cAMP, is not able to modify significantly total RNA and protein synthesis in cultured fetal rat liver cells. It is concluded also that the effects of dibutyryl-derivatives of cyclic nucleotides, at least on albumin production, are not mimiebet by butyrate.

Ribosomes, discovered in 1955 by George Palade, were initially described as small cytoplasmic particles preferentially associated with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Over the years, extensive research has focused on both the structure and function of ribosomes. However, a fundamental question - how many ribosomes are present within whole cells - has remained largely unaddressed.

Background: Doravirine is licensed in patients living with HIV (PWH) harbouring no prior resistance to any NNRTIs. We aimed to evaluate in real life the efficacy of doravirine with prior NNRTI virological failure and NNRTI resistance-associated mutations (RAMs).
Methods: This observational study included PWH switched to a doravirine-containing regimen between 30 September 2019 and 1 May 2022, with an HIV-1 RNA of ≤50 copies/mL and past NNRTI-RAMs.

Thalassemia is a hematological disorder caused by mutations in the hemoglobin gene, often necessitating regular blood transfusions. These frequent transfusions exert continuous pressure on patients' immune systems. Despite extensive research on the hematological aspects of thalassemia, few studies have explored the immune status of these patients.

Powdery mildew, caused by the fungus , is one of the primary causes of grape yield loss across the globe. While numerous resistance loci have been identified in various grapevine species, the genetic determinants of susceptibility to remain largely unexplored. Understanding the genetics of susceptibility for pathogenesis is equally important for developing durable resistance grapevines against this pathogen.
