The nucleotide sequences of two mitochondrial genes (cytochrome c oxidase subunit I, COI, and cytochrome b, cyt b) and four nuclear genes (growth hormone gene GH1, ribosomal protein S7 gene RP1, recombination activating gene RAG1, and rhodopsin gene RH) from the Far Eastern redfins of the genus Tribolodon were examined to clarify the status of the southern form of T. hakonensis. Nucleotide sequence analysis of the mitochondrial genes showed differences of 2.6% between individuals of T. hakonensis inhabiting the north and south of the range. Analysis of the nuclear genes showed that Tribolodon sp. (southern form of T. hakonensis) has a mosaic of nuclear genes received from the Pacific redfin T. brandtii and big-scaled redfin T. hakonensis. It is suggested that the new species could have formed as a result of homoploid hybridization between the true T. hakonensis (by original description) and T. brandtii, which probably made it possible for this species to occupy a new ecological niche.

Theranostic drugs represent an emerging path to deliver on the promise of precision medicine. However, bottlenecks remain in characterizing theranostic targets, identifying theranostic lead compounds, and tailoring theranostic drugs. To overcome these bottlenecks, we present the Theranostic Genome, the part of the human genome whose expression can be utilized to combine therapeutic and diagnostic applications.

Liver metastasis is the main cause of cancer-related mortality. During the metastasis process, circulating carcinoma cells hardly pass through narrow capillaries, leading to nuclear deformation. However, the effects of nuclear deformation and its underlying mechanisms on metastasis need further study.

Nitrate not only serves as the primary nitrogen source for terrestrial plants but also serves as a critical signal in regulating plant growth and development. Understanding how plant responses to nitrate availability is essential for improving nitrogen use efficiency in crops. Herein, we demonstrated that the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor TabHLH489 plays a crucial negative regulatory role in wheat nitrate signaling.

Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Seoul Metropolitan Government-Seoul National University (SMG-SNU) Boramae Medical Center, Seoul National University College of Medicine, Seoul, Republic of Korea.

Background: We investigated the effects of C-reactive protein (CRP) deposition on the vessel walls in abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) by analyzing spatially resolved changes in gene expression. Our aim was to elucidate the pathways that contribute to disease progression.

Methods: AAA specimens from surgically resected formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues were categorized into the AAA-high CRP [serum CRP ≥ 0.

Objective: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a disabling systemic autoimmune disease worldwide; however, its molecular pathway remains largely unknown. Thus, this study aimed to explore the effects of receptor-interacting serine/threonine kinase 2 (RIPK2) on RA progression and its underlying mechanism.

Material And Methods: RIPK2 expression was analyzed using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction, immunohistochemical staining, and Western blot (WB) analysis in RA synovial tissues or cells.
