Francisco Ort-Llorca (1905-1993) was one of the most outstanding Spanish embryologists of the XX century. He was disciple of Henri Rouvire in Paris (France), Alfred Fischel in Vienna (Austria), Walther Vogt in Munich (Germany) and Pedro Ara in Madrid (Spain). From 1935, he was professor of Human Anatomy at the Faculty of Medicine of Cadiz, belonged then to the University of Seville (accidentally, in the University of Valencia, during the Spanish Civil War from 1936-1939) and, later on, at the Faculty of Medicine of Madrid (Complutense University) from 1954 to 1975. He was internationally recognized in anatomical sciences and stood out for his contributions to descriptive and experimental Embryology and Teratology, particularly in those aspects connected to the normal and pathological development of the heart and visual organs.

Endometriosis (EM) is a chronic disease that can cause pain and infertility in patients. As is well known, immune cell infiltrations (ICIs) play important roles in the pathogenesis of EM. However, the pathogenesis and biomarkers of EM that can be used in clinical practice and their relationship with ICIs still need to be elucidated.

Endometriosis (EM) is a chronic inflammatory disease that is one of the most common causes of gynecological systemic lesions in women before menopause. The most representative histological feature of EM is that the endometrium appears outside of the uterine cavity, often in the ovary. Although it is generally accepted that the epithelial and stromal cells of the ectopic endometrium are not malignant, they still have numerous similarities to malignant tumors, including considerable changes to the immune microenvironment (immune monitoring disorder), the creation of a specific hormone environment, high levels of oxidative stress, chronic inflammation and abnormal immune cell regulation.

Article Synopsis
- Cullin 4B (CUL4B) is a protein linked to X-linked intellectual disability (XLID), with its mutations leading to brain dysfunction and impaired cognition.
- Researchers used advanced single-nucleus RNA sequencing to study how CUL4B deficiency affects communication and gene expression among different brain cell types, finding significant changes that relate to synapse problems.
- The study demonstrated that CUL4B-deficient mice exhibited synapse loss, abnormal synaptic structures, and decreased memory capabilities, highlighting the potential for targeted therapies to address synaptic issues and cognitive decline related to CUL4B mutations.
