In the latest decade, translational medicine has played an important role. In neuroendocrine tumor field, genetic results are associated with clinical and paraclinical disease implications. This translational knowledge allows a faster action in some mutation types with aggressive outcome. In the following pages we will make a review about actualities in translational approach from genetics to clinical neuroendocrinology.

Stem cell-based therapies have raised considerable interest to develop regenerative treatment for neurological disorders with high disability. In this review, we focus on recent preclinical and clinical evidence of stem cell therapy in the treatment of degenerative neurological diseases and discuss different cell types, delivery routes and biodistribution of stem cell therapy. In addition, recent advances of mechanistic insights of stem cell therapy, including functional replacement by exogenous cells, immunomodulation and paracrine effects of stem cell therapies are also demonstrated.

Variations in cerebral blood flow and blood volume interact with intracranial pressure and cerebrospinal fluid dynamics, all of which play a crucial role in brain homeostasis. A key physiological modulator is respiration, but its impact on cerebral blood flow and volume has not been thoroughly investigated. Here we used 4D flow MRI in a population-based sample of 65 participants (mean age = 75 ± 1) to quantify these effects.

Every heartbeat depends on cyclical contraction-relaxation produced by the interactions between myosin-containing thick and actin-based thin filaments (TFs) arranged into a crystalline-like lattice in the cardiac sarcomere. Therefore, the maintenance of thin filament length is crucial for myocardium function. The thin filament is comprised of an actin backbone, the regulatory troponin complex and tropomyosin that controls interactions between thick and thin filaments.

Background Many people with traumatic brain injury (TBI) report problems with social functioning that can have immediate and enduring impacts. We aimed to explore perceptions of social functioning after TBI and understand attitudes towards medication that could improve long-term social outcomes. Method A qualitative descriptive approach using interview methods was conducted in Victoria, Australia.

Plant mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) experience remarkable levels of horizontal gene transfer (HGT), including the recent discovery that orchids anciently acquired DNA from fungal mitogenomes. Thus far, however, there is no evidence that any of the genes from this interkingdom HGT are functional in orchid mitogenomes. Here, we applied a specialized sequencing approach to the orchid Corallorhiza maculata and found that some fungal-derived tRNA genes in the transferred region are transcribed, post-transcriptionally modified, and aminoacylated.
