In this article, we describe two cases of unusual tennis injuries. One of them was a 48-year-old elite tennis player. He had boxer's fracture due to fall during a tennis match. The other one was a 22-year-old beginner tennis player. He had talonavicular and subtalar dislocations due to fall during tennis match caused by shoes inappropriate for tennis. Patients were treated conservatively without any complications.

In this issue of Structure, Viennet et al. report a study characterizing the DNA binding by a three-zinc-finger fragment from the transcription factor BCL11A, with the unusual feature that an interfinger interaction in the free protein is disrupted during binding, which provides a positive entropic contribution that enhances the affinity.

The genomes of peridinin-containing dinoflagellate chloroplasts have a very unusual organisation. These genomes are highly fragmented and greatly reduced, with most of the usual complement of chloroplast genes relocated to the nucleus. Dinoflagellate chloroplasts highlight evolutionary changes that are found to varying extents in a number of other organelle genomes.

Traumatic cervical internal carotid artery dissection (CICAD) is a rare condition caused by blunt trauma to the neck, often through automobile- or sports-related collisions, assaults, or falls. Herein, we report an unusual case in which engaging in a low-impact sport (tennis) caused CICAD, without a direct injury. A 56-year-old man with hypertension suddenly experienced a visual field loss in his right eye while playing tennis.

Background: Anaplastic sarcoma of the kidney (ASK) is a DICER1-related neoplasm first identified as a distinctive tumor type through the evaluation of unusual cases of putative anaplastic Wilms tumors. Subsequent case reports identified the presence of biallelic DICER1 variants as well as progression from cystic nephroma, a benign DICER1-related neoplasm. Despite increasing recognition of ASK as a distinct entity, the optimal treatment remains unclear.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the diversity of Trypanosomatidae protists, highlighting their roles as parasites while exploring previously neglected species through genome sequencing and analysis.
- Researchers sequenced genomes from 21 trypanosomatid species, noting variations in genome size and repetitive elements; for example, Obscuromonas modryi has the smallest genome but the highest repeat content.
- Findings indicate a unique evolutionary pattern in Obscuromonas modryi due to host dependence leading to genomic shrinkage, coupled with repeat expansion; the study also reveals a tendency toward aneuploidy among these species, suggesting it may offer a fitness advantage.
