Genetic alterations to serine-threonine kinase 11 () have been implicated in Peutz-Jeghers syndrome and tumorigenesis. Further exploration of the context-specific roles of liver kinase B1 (LKB1; encoded by ) observed that it regulates AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and AMPK-related kinases. Given that both migration and proliferation are enhanced with the loss of LKB1 activity combined with the prevalence of genetic alterations in cancer biopsies, LKB1 was marked as a tumor suppressor.

The bacterium responsible for Lyme disease, , accumulates high levels of manganese without iron and possesses a polyploid genome, characteristics suggesting potential extreme resistance to radiation. Contrary to expectations, we report that wild-type B31 cells are radiosensitive, with a gamma-radiation survival limit for 10 wild-type cells of <1 kGy. Thus, we explored radiosensitivity through electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy by quantitating the fraction of Mn present as antioxidant Mn metabolite complexes (H-Mn).

Biological Standardization has been pivotal to the success of traditional biological products, such as vaccines, antitoxins, and immune globulins, by ensuring their quality and consistency across manufacturers worldwide. The principles of biological standardization have similarly supported the development and manufacture of safe and effective modern biological products, including hormone, therapeutic protein, and monoclonal antibody products, and continue to play a vital role in advancing new cutting-edge biological products, such as tissue, cellular, and gene-therapy products. Biological standardization started with the physical standards ensuring the reliability and suitability of methods used to test biological products and science of bioassays or biological methods and related biostatistics providing a framework for evaluating biological, functional activity or potency of these products.

Introduction: Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) and neonatal diabetes mellitus (NDM) are the most prevalent causes of monogenic diabetes. MODY is an autosomal dominant condition with onset in childhood and young adulthood, while NDM is defined with diabetes onset within 6 months of age and can be caused by dominant, recessive, X-linked genes or by chromosomal abnormalities. Here, we describe a rare case of monogenic diabetes in a patient who is homozygous for an gene variant.

Sepsis (defined as sepsis 3.0) is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to a variety of pathogenic microorganisms. Characterized by high morbidity and mortality, sepsis has become a global public health problem.
