The aim of the present study was to report results of direct circular suture after 1-stage circumferential resection of limb ring constriction in amniotic band syndrome. A multicentre retrospective study included 14 patients with amniotic band syndrome (mean age, 13.3 months) operated on between 2004 and 2019 by circumferential release of ≥1 ring constriction. Assessment was based on limb function and clinical scar aspect on the POSAS and Vancouver scales. Mean follow-up was 3.9 years. There were no scar-related, vascular or neurologic complications, postoperatively or at last follow-up. POSAS and Vancouver scores were satisfactory. One-stage circumferential release with direct closure is a simple technique that provides satisfactory functional and esthetic results.

Pannexin-3 (PANX3) is a member of the pannexin family of large-pore, ATP-permeable channels conserved across vertebrates. PANX3 contributes to various developmental and pathophysiological processes by permeating ATP and Ca ions; however, the structural basis of PANX3 channel function remains unclear. Here, we present the cryo-EM structure of human PANX3 at 2.

Unlabelled: Cell division is a fundamental process ensuring the perpetuation of all cellular life forms. Archaea of the order Sulfolobales divide using a simpler version of the eukaryotic endosomal sorting complexes required for transport (ESCRT) machinery, composed of three ESCRT-III homologs (ESCRT-III, -III-1, and -III-2), AAA+ ATPase Vps4 and an archaea-specific component CdvA. Here, we clarify how these components act sequentially to drive the division of the hyperthermophilic archaeon .

A key challenge for bottom-up synthetic biology is engineering a minimal module for self-division of synthetic cells. Actin-based cytokinetic rings are considered a promising structure to produce the forces required for the controlled excision of cell-like compartments such as giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs). Despite prior demonstrations of actin ring targeting to GUV membranes and myosin-induced constriction, large-scale vesicle deformation has been precluded due to the lacking spatial control of these contractile structures.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on a carnivorous fungus that captures nematodes by forming constricting rings, a key feature for its carnivorous behavior.
- Researchers created two mutants unable to form these rings and examined their growth compared to the wild-type strain, revealing differences in metabolic pathways.
- Key findings highlight the importance of cell wall structure, peroxisomes, lipid metabolism, and MAPK signaling in the formation of constricting rings, which could inform future methods of controlling harmful nematodes.
