A tragic drowning event occurred along southeastern beaches of Lake Michigan on a sunny and calm July 4, 2003, hours after a fast-moving convective storm had crossed the lake. Data forensics indicates that a moderate-height (~0.3 m) meteotsunami was generated by the fast-moving storm impacting the eastern coast of the lake. Detailed Nearshore Area (DNA) modeling forensics on a high-resolution spatial O(1 m) grid reveals that the meteotsunami wave generated unexpected rip currents, changing the nearshore condition from calm to hazardous in just a few minutes and lasting for several hours after the storm. Cross-comparison of rip current incidents and meteotsunami occurrence databases suggests that meteotsunamis present severe water safety hazards and high risks, more frequently than previously recognized. Overall, meteorological tsunamis are revealed as a new generation mechanism of rip currents, thus posing an unexpected beach hazard that, to date, has been ignored.

Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), the most predominant subtype of esophageal cancer, is notorious for its high lymph node metastatic potential and poor prognosis. Growing evidence has demonstrated crucial function of circRNAs in human malignancies. However, the knowledge of circRNAs in lymph node metastasis of ESCC is still inadequate.

Background: Myoblast fusion plays a crucial role in myogenesis. Insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA-binding protein 3 (IGF2BP3) functions as an RNA N-methyladenosine reader and exerts important roles in various biological processes. While our prior study suggested Igf2bp3 contributes to myogenesis, its molecular regulatory mechanism is largely unclear.

Article Synopsis
- * The study focuses on the role of HDAC7 in regulating SOX8 expression, which influences the secretion of LGALS3, creating a feedback loop that promotes the aggressive mesenchymal phenotype of GBM and M2 polarization of macrophages.
- * Findings suggest that targeting LGALS3 can enhance the effectiveness of HDAC inhibitors, positioning HDAC7 and LGALS3 as potential new biomarkers and therapeutic targets for GBM treatment.
