The duplicated origin of vertebral artery (VA) is a very rare condition. It could be easily misdiagnosed as an arterial dissection on selective catheter angiography, especially in a patient with acute cerebellar infarction of unknown etiology. We report a patient with an acute cerebellar infarction and duplicated origin of the left VA, which was found during the selective catheter angiography.

Small Leucine-Rich Proteoglycans (SLRPs) are a major family of vertebrate proteoglycans. In bony vertebrates, SLRPs have a variety of functions from structural to signaling and are found in extracellular matrices, notably in skeletal tissues. However, there is little or no data on the diversity, function and expression patterns of SLRPs in cartilaginous fishes, which hinders our understanding of how these genes evolved with the diversification of vertebrates, in particular regarding the early events of whole genome duplications that shaped gnathostome and cyclostome genomes.

The Prevalence and the Underlying Mechanisms of Fosfomycin Resistance of and spp. Among Cattle in Japan.

Int J Mol Sci

Veterinary AMR Center, National Veterinary Assay Laboratory, Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, Tokyo 185-8511, Japan.

To investigate fosfomycin resistance rates in cattle across Japan, we carried out susceptibility tests. To identify the genes contributing to fosfomycin resistance, we performed whole-genome sequencing on the fosfomycin-resistant strains. were sampled from healthy cattle ( = 292, combined total from 2017, 2020, 2021, and 2022) and diseased cattle ( = 73, from 2021 to 2022).

DNA replication represents a series of precisely regulated events performed by a complex protein machinery that guarantees accurate duplication of the genetic information. Since DNA replication is permanently faced by a variety of exogenous and endogenous stressors, DNA damage response, repair and replication must be closely coordinated to maintain genomic integrity. HROB has been identified recently as a binding partner and activator of the Mcm8/9 helicase involved in DNA interstrand crosslink (ICL) repair.
