Although lentigines are usually benign, they can be associated with a number of genetic syndromes in which neoplasms and other multi-system pathological processes occur. Here, we report the case of a 6-year-old girl who presented with atypical lentiginosis and hyperpigmentation caused by a de novo genetic variant in the KIT gene.

Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a leading cause of pain, disability, and reduced mobility worldwide, characterized by metabolic imbalances in chondrocytes, extracellular matrix (ECM), and subchondral bone. Emerging evidence highlights the critical role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in OA pathogenesis. This study focuses on lncRNA PTS-1, a novel lncRNA, to explore its function and regulatory mechanisms in OA progression.

Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) is a formidable global health challenge, responsible for the majority of cancer-related deaths worldwide. The Platelet-Derived Growth Factor Receptor (PDGFR) has emerged as a promising therapeutic target in NSCLC, given its crucial involvement in cell growth, proliferation, angiogenesis, and tumor progression. Among PDGFR inhibitors, avapritinib has garnered attention due to its selective activity against mutant forms of PDGFR, particularly PDGFRA D842V and KIT exon 17 D816V, linked to resistance against conventional tyrosine kinase inhibitors.

The discovery of novel anti-cancer drugs motivated us to synthesize a new series of triple 1,2,3-triazole-based arm scaffolds featuring distinct un functionalized alkyl and/or aryl side chains with possible anti-cancer action using the click chemistry approach under both conventional and green microwave irradiation (MWI) methods. The Cu(I) catalyzed cycloaddition reaction of targeted tris-alkyne with un functionalized aliphatic and aromatic azides has been adopted as an efficient approach for synthesizing the desired click adducts. Microwave irradiation improved the synthetic processes, resulting in higher yields and faster reaction times.

In this study, we developed and validated a novel microhaplotype (MH) panel, the FGID Microhaplotype Kit, which contains 232 loci and was specifically designed for forensic kinship analysis. The performance of the panel was evaluated through rigorous testing that included sensitivity, species specificity, inhibitor resistance, uniformity, stability, accuracy and mixture deconvolution. The results showed that the kit is capable of reliably detecting all loci with minimal DNA input.

Seaweed biomass is globally underutilized as a source of proteins despite its nutritional potential, with much of its use focused on hydrocolloid extraction. This study evaluated the nutritional quality and digestibility of protein and amino acids from two brown seaweeds ( spp. and ), one green seaweed ( spp.
