T-acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) represents 25 % of cases of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in adults. The clinical presentation is dominated by a elevated number of white blood cells and in immunophenotype the lymphoblasts are generally Tdt positive and variably express CD1a, CD2, CD3, CD4, CD5, CD7, and CD8. NK/T non Hodgkin lymphoma is presented as a single lesion often ulcerated with torpid evolution affecting the nasal cavity, nasopharynx and/or palate. CD56 expression is while characteristic of NK-cells, and is also expressed on a subset of normal T cells. Its expression in ALL does not exclude the diagnosis and seems to be a prognostic factor of this disease. We report the case of a young woman with nasal cavity tumor which was initially diagnosed as T-cell lymphoma. This diagnosis was finally revised to conclude to T-ALL with CD56 aberrant expression.

The neural tube, the embryonic precursor to the vertebrate central nervous system, comprises distinct progenitor and neuronal domains, each with specific proliferation programs. In this study, we identified TMEM196, a novel transmembrane protein that plays a crucial role in regulating cell proliferation in the floor plate in chick embryos. TMEM196 is expressed in the floor plate, and its overexpression leads to reduced cell proliferation without affecting the pattern formation of the neural tube.

Background: Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) stands as one of the most prevalent and severe causes of heart failure. Inflammation plays a pivotal role throughout the progression of DCM to heart failure, while age acts as a natural predisposing factor for all cardiovascular diseases. These two factors often interact, contributing to cardiac fibrosis, which is both a common manifestation and a pathogenic driver of adverse remodeling in DCM-induced heart failure.

Histone acetylation is the process by which histone acetyltransferases (HATs) add an acetyl group to the N-terminal lysine residues of histones, resulting in a more open chromatin structure. Histone acetylation tends to increase gene expression more than methylation does. In the central nervous system (CNS), histone acetylation is essential for controlling the expression of genes linked to cognition and learning.

Hierarchy has been identified as a principle underlying the organization of human brain networks. However, it remains unclear how the network hierarchy is disrupted in Parkinson's disease (PD) motor symptoms and, how it is modulated by the underlying genetic architecture. The aim of this study was to explore alterations in the motor functional hierarchical organization of the cerebrum and their underlying genetic mechanism.
