MyD88 deficiency is a rare inborn error of immunity (IEI) characterized by susceptibility to pyogenic infections without overt signs of inflammation. Half of the reported patients belong to Roma descent, an itinerant ethnic group living mostly in Europe, with an increased risk of childhood mortality due to limited access to healthcare services. We describe three unrelated patients from the Campania region in Italy with MyD88 deficiency, all belonging to Roma descent and displaying severe or recurrent infections in early infancy.

The latest World Health Organization (WHO) classification of central nervous system tumors (WHO2021/5th) has incorporated molecular information into the diagnosis of each brain tumor type including diffuse glioma. Therefore, an artificial intelligence (AI) framework for learning histological patterns and predicting important genetic events would be useful for future studies and applications. Using the concept of multiple-instance learning, we developed an AI framework named GLioma Image-level and Slide-level gene Predictor (GLISP) to predict nine genetic abnormalities in hematoxylin and eosin sections: , , mutations, promoter mutations, homozygous deletion (CHD), amplification (amp), 7 gain/10 loss (7+/10-), 1p/19q co-deletion, and promoter methylation.

Sex-determining region Y box 2 (Sox2) is a critical transcription factor for embryogenesis and neural stem and progenitor cell (NSPC) maintenance. While distal enhancers control Sox2 in embryonic stem cells (ESCs), enhancers closer to the gene are implicated in Sox2 transcriptional regulation in neural development. We hypothesize that a downstream enhancer cluster, termed Sox2 regulatory regions 2-18 (SRR2-18), regulates Sox2 transcription in neural stem cells and we investigate this in NSPCs derived from mouse ESCs.

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a degenerative neuromuscular condition resulting from a homozygous deletion of the survival motor neuron 1 () gene in 95% of patients. A timely diagnosis via newborn screening (NBS) and initiating treatment before the onset of symptoms are critical for improving health outcomes in affected individuals. We carried out a screening test by quantitative PCR (qPCR) to amplify the exon seven of using dried blood spot (DBS) samples.

The development of efficient producers of recombinant pharmaceuticals based on plant cell suspension cultures is a pressing challenge in modern applied science. A primary limitation of plant cell cultures is their relatively low yield of the target protein. One strategy to enhance culture productivity involves reducing cell aggregation.
