Intraosseous salivary gland carcinomas are extremely rare, comprising only 2% to 3% of all mucoepidermoid carcinomas (MECs) reported. The t(11;19) translocation and its CRTC1/MAML1 fusion transcript have been identified in MEC at different sites and are believed to be associated with the development of a subset of these tumors. However, the status of the fusion transcript has not been reported in intraosseous MEC. Here, we report 3 examples of central MEC of the mandible, including a case with a history of primary retromolar MEC. Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction and DNA sequencing analyses of the microdissected components of these tumors were used for the detection and verification of the fusion transcript. We identified, for the first time, the t(11;19) fusion gene transcript in central MEC, including in the previous primary retromolar MEC. No fusion transcript was detected in the second primary noncentral MEC or in another central MEC. The results indicate that central MEC can manifest the fusion transcript. This finding may have diagnostic and histogenetic roles in the future analysis of this entity.

Purpose: Myxoinflammatory fibroblastic sarcoma (MIFS) is a rare, low-grade sarcoma affecting with predilection the acral soft tissues of middle-aged adults. Clinically, MIFS is associated with a high rate of local recurrence but infrequent distant metastases. The diagnosis remains challenging due to their wide histologic spectrum and overlap with reactive, benign, and low-grade malignant lesions.

Estrogen-related receptor α (ERRα) is dysregulated in many types of cancer and exhibits oncogenic activity by promoting tumorigenesis and metastasis of cancer cells. However, its defined role in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has not been fully elucidated. To reveal the biological function of ERRα and determine the underlying regulatory mechanism in RCC, the quantitative proteomics analysis and mechanism investigation were conducted.

Background: Many different stress signaling pathways converge in a common response: slowdown or arrest cell cycle in the G1 phase. The G1/S transition (called Start in budding yeast) is a key checkpoint controlled by positive and negative regulators. Among them, Whi7 and Whi5 are transcriptional repressors of the G1/S transcriptional program, yeast functional homologs of the Retinoblastoma family proteins in mammalian cells.

Background: Newcastle disease significantly impacts the global poultry industry and is prevalent in many African countries, including Ethiopia. The objective of this research is to determine the humoral immune response to Newcastle Disease Virus (NDV), identify the circulating NDV genotype, and evaluate the correlation between the diagnostic tests used in backyard chickens in the Jimma Zone, southwest Ethiopia.

Methods: A total of 90 swab and blood samples were purposively collected from symptomatic backyard chicken in the period between February and April 2022.

Gene expression is regulated by chromatin DNA methylation and other features, including histone post-translational modifications (PTMs), chromatin remodelers and transcription factor occupancy. A complete understanding of gene regulation will require the mapping of these chromatin features in small cell number samples. Here we describe a novel genome-wide chromatin profiling technology, named as Nicking Enzyme Epitope targeted DNA sequencing (NEED-seq).
