Published: January 1990

It has been reported that transposition of Tn3 is temperature-sensitive. The effect of temperature on the transposition of other class II bacterial transposable elements is reported here: Tn21, Tn501, Tn1721, Tn2501 and Tn3926 all also display temperature-sensitivity of transposition. The temperature at which the highest transposition frequency was observed varied between room temperature and 30 degrees C.

Unlabelled: Transposition of the great arteries (Dextro-TGA), repaired with physiological correction techniques (atrial switch - Mustard or Senning surgery), can present as a complication the failure of the right ventricle that acts as systemic and, at the same time, deconditioning of the left ventricle, leading to congestive heart failure. In these patients, treatment and recovery options are very limited.

Objective: To describe successful late anatomical correction after ventricular retraining.

The Solanaceae family contains many agriculturally important crops, including tomato, potato, pepper, and tobacco, as well as others with growing potential, such as the orphan crops groundcherry, wolfberry, and pepino. Research progress varies greatly among these species, with model crops like tomato far ahead, which limits the broader agricultural application of other solanaceous species. Here, we constructed the interspecies pan-genome for the Solanaceae family and identified distinct patterns of gene retention.

Background: In patients with adult congenital heart disease (ACHD), significant atrioventricular valve regurgitation is an important risk factor for poor outcomes, such as heart failure. However, in many cases, transcatheter intervention may reduce the risk profile to avoid a high surgical risk.

Case Summary: A 44-year-old man with complex ACHD in the form of a double-inlet left ventricle, congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries, pulmonary atresia, atrial septal defect, and patent ductus arteriosus was referred for the treatment of severe tricuspid regurgitation.

Complexity-generating reactions that access three-dimensional products from simple starting materials offer substantial value for drug discovery. While oxygen-containing heterocycles frequently feature unique, nonaromatic architectures such as spirocyclic rings, exploration of these chemical spaces is limited by conventional synthetic approaches. Herein, we report a copper-catalyzed annulation and alkene transposition cascade reaction that enables a modular preparation of complex, spirocyclic ethers from readily available alkenol substrates via a copper-catalyzed annulation and transannular 1,5-hydrogen atom transfer-mediated C-H functionalization.

Background: Cancer radiotherapy (RT) still has limited clinical success because of the obstacles including radioresistance of hypoxic tumors, high-dose X-ray-induced damage to adjacent healthy tissue, and DNA-damage repair by intracellular PD-L1 in tumor.

Results: Therefore, to overcome these obstacles multifunctional core-shell BMS@PtAu nanoparticles (NPs) are prepared using nanoprecipitation followed by electrostatic assembly. PtAu clusters are released from BMS@PtAu NPs to alleviate tumor hypoxia by catalyzing the decomposition of endogenous HO to generate O as well as by enhancing X-ray deposition at the tumor site, which thereby reduce the required X-ray dose.
