Remission of asthma can occur as part of the natural history of the disease; however, the use of biologics can result in disease remission in some patients. In this post hoc analysis of the RELIght study, we aimed to evaluate clinical remission in real life among patients treated with mepolizumab, to detect possible differences between "remitters" and "nonremitters," and to evaluate possible predictors of remission. Clinical remission was defined as the absence of asthma exacerbations, discontinuation of oral corticosteroids (OCS), achievement of asthma control (Asthma Control Test [ACT] ≥ 20), and stable or improved lung function.

Shiga toxin is the leading cause of food poisoning in the world. It is structurally similar to the plant type II ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) and retains N-glycosidase activity. It acts specifically by depurinating the specific adenine A4605 of human 28S rRNA, ultimately inhibiting translation.

Non-genetic information can be inherited across generations in a process known as transgenerational epigenetic inheritance (TEI). In Drosophila, hemizygosity of the Fab-7 regulatory element triggers inheritance of the histone mark H3K27me3 at a homologous locus on another chromosome, resulting in heritable epigenetic differences in eye color. Here, by mutating transcription factor binding sites within the Fab-7 element, we demonstrate the importance of the proteins pleiohomeotic and GAGA factor in the establishment and maintenance of TEI.

Background: Ecdysone-induced protein 93 F (E93, also known as Eip93F) plays a crucial role in the reproductive process of numerous insects. This study aims to delineate the function of E93 in Chilo suppressalis and elucidated the regulatory mechanism by which E93 influences the reproduction of C. suppressalis METHODS AND RESULTS: The results of the bioinformatics analysis indicate that C.

Early embryos undergo profound changes in their genomic architecture to establish the totipotent state, enabling pioneer factors to access chromatin and drive zygotic genome activation (ZGA). However, the mechanisms by which the totipotent state is established and properly interpreted by pioneer factors to allow orderly ZGA remain unknown. Here, we identify the H3.
