We report a novel β-globin chain variant, Hb Shenzhen [β90(F6)Glu→Ala, HBB: c.272A>C], in a 52-year-old Chinese individual. The hemoglobin (Hb) variant takes the position of the Hb D zone using capillary electrophoresis. Sanger sequencing revealed a novel base mutation on the β-globin gene, HBB: c.272A>C, that resulted in a transition of glutamic acid to alanine at exon 2 of the β-globin gene. We named this novel variant Hb Shenzhen for the geographic origin of this proband.

Social bees, with their specialized gut microbiota and societal transmission between individuals, provide an ideal model for studying host-gut microbiota interactions. While the functional disparities arising from strain-level diversity of gut symbionts and their effects on host health have been studied in Apis mellifera and bumblebees, studies focusing on host-specific investigations of individual strains across different honeybee hosts remain relatively unexplored. In this study, the complete genomic sequences of 17 strains of Gilliamella from A.

Blood-contacting medical devices can easily trigger immune responses, leading to thrombosis and hyperblastosis. Constructing microtexture that provides efficient antithrombotic and rapid reendothelialization performance on complex curved surfaces remains a pressing challenge. In this work, we present a robust and regular micronano binary texture on the titanium surface, characterized by exceptional mechanical strength and precisely controlled wettability to achieve excellent hemocompatibility.

Its common germline variants APOE2, APOE3 and APOE4 give rise to three functionally distinct gene products. Previous studies reported yin-yang roles of APOE2 and APOE4 in immunological processes, but their effects in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) have never been studied.

Inadequate vascularization significantly hampers wound recovery by limiting nutrient delivery. To address this challenge, we extracted membrane vesicles from (LMVs) and identified their angiogenic potential via transcriptomic analysis. We further developed a composite hydrogel system (Gel-LMVs) by anchoring LMVs within carboxylated chitosan and cross-linking it with oxidized hyaluronic acid through a Schiff base reaction.

In this study, we aimed to uncover novel biomarkers in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that could serve as prognostic indicators or therapeutic targets. We analyzed AML microarray datasets from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) repository, identifying key differentially expressed genes (DEGs) through the robust rank aggregation (RRA) approach. The functions of these DEGs were elucidated through Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses.
