Since the adoption of neoadjuvant chemoradiation and total mesorectal excision as the standard in rectal cancer care, there has been marked improvement in the local recurrence rates. In this context, restaging magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays a key role in the assessment of tumor response, occasionally enabling organ-sparing approaches. However, the role of restaging MRI in evaluating lateral lymph nodes remains limited.

Lateral pelvic lymph node dissection (LPLND) for rectal adenocarcinoma is an established treatment modality for selected patients with abnormal lateral pelvic lymph nodes on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) imaging. The goal of this treatment is to achieve a true R0 resection, including lymphadenectomy, with the aim of improving patient oncological outcome, potentially at the expense of surgical and functional complications. However, there remain several areas of controversy resulting from a distinct lack of clarity regarding effective patient selection, lymph node size criteria, the role and extent of routine neoadjuvant treatment versus surgery alone in selected cases, the impact on patient survival metrics and whether the existing data are even valid in the era of total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT).

QTL mapping of two RIL populations in multiple environments revealed a consistent QTL for bristle length, and combined with RNA-seq, a potential candidate gene influencing bristle length was identified. Foxtail millet bristles play a vital role in increasing yields and preventing bird damage. However, there is currently limited research on the molecular regulatory mechanisms underlying foxtail millet bristle formation, which constrains the genetic improvement and breeding of new foxtail millet varieties.

Previous studies have shown that apo C3 is abundant in the plasma exosomes of patients with aortic dissection (AD), but its specific role in AD remains unclear.
Methods And Results: In vivo, adeno-associated virus was used to knock down hepatic apo C3 expression in an AD mouse model to assess the impact of liver-derived apo C3 on the development of AD.

Introduction: The H9N2 avian influenza virus is widely disseminated in poultry and poses a zoonotic threat, despite vaccination efforts. Mutations at residue 198 of hemagglutinin (HA) are critical for antigenic variation and receptor-binding specificity, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. This study explores the molecular mechanisms by which mutations at the HA 198 site affect the antigenicity, receptor specificity, and binding affinity of the H9N2 virus.
