DNA-STR analysis is widely used in the forensic science field and has important requirements on the analysis time to obtain faster inspections. The developed forensic STR kit, referred to as Expressmarker 16 (EX16), could shorten the amplification time to a minimum of 35min. It enables 16 STR loci to be co-detected, including 13 CODIS loci, D2S1338, D6S1043 and Amelogenin loci. The kit is validated by a series of tests formed by DNA mixtures, stutter ratios, optimized PCR protocols based on annealing temperature research, species specificities, inhibitors, sensitivity, and parallel tests according to FBI QAS (2009/2011) (QAS, 2009; SWGDAM, 2010). The results demonstrated that EX16 was a useful tool for rapid criminal investigation.

Evaluation of sleep disorders in children and adolescents affected by Klinefelter syndrome.
Eur J Pediatr

Department of Maternal Infantile and Urological Sciences, Sapienza University of Rome, Rome, Italy.
Unlabelled: Klinefelter syndrome (KS) is the most common sex chromosomal aneuploidy in males (47,XXY karyotype in 80-90% of cases), primarily characterized by hypergonadotropic hypogonadism and infertility. It encompasses a broad phenotypic spectrum, leading to variability in neurocognitive and psychosocial outcomes among affected individuals. Despite the recognized correlation between KS and various neuropsychiatric conditions, studies investigating potential sleep disorders, particularly in pediatric subjects, are lacking.

Mammalian blood cells originate from specialized 'hemogenic' endothelial (HE) cells in major arteries. During the endothelial-to-hematopoietic transition (EHT), nascent hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) bud from the arterial endothelial wall and enter circulation, destined to colonize the fetal liver before ultimately migrating to the bone marrow. Mechanisms and processes that facilitate EHT and the release of nascent HSCs are incompletely understood, but may involve signaling from neighboring vascular endothelial cells, stromal support cells, circulating pre-formed hematopoietic cells, and/or systemic factors secreted by distal organs.
