The disease-causing koi herpes virus (KHV), also known as cyprinid herpesvirus-3 (CyHV-3), causes mass mortality of koi and carp. Koi () is a host for KHV, one of 12 virus species in the family. We examined the effects of KHV disease koi (KK), and on koi×red common carp (KR) and red common carp×koi (RK) cross, using a virus challenge test. The infected fish had clinical signs that included gill necrosis and skin lesions. The RK and KR were highly more resistant (cumulative mortality: RK; 6% and KR; 8%) to KHV infection than KK fish (cumulative mortality: 28%). KHV DNA was confirmed in the tissues of all dead fish in groups by use of polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and the presence of the KHV protein in kidney was confirmed by immunohistochemistry. Histological analysis showed severe gill lesions and fusion of the lamellae in KK fish, but less severe damage in RK fish. In immunohistochemistry analysis, the KHV protein localized in the cytoplasm of infected kidney cells of KK, but the cross groups had lower levels of KHV antigen. Our data indicate that the cross groups had increased resistance to KHV disease.

Regulation of ROS signaling by TIGAR induces cancer-modulating responses in the tumor microenvironment.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A

The consequences of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cancer cells are complex and have been shown to both promote and retard tumorigenesis in different models. In mouse models of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), loss of the antioxidant defense gene results in both a reduction in the development of early pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia and an increase in invasive and metastatic capacity, accompanied by decreased survival of mice lacking pancreatic TIGAR. We previously demonstrated that increased ROS following loss of TIGAR promotes various cancer cell-intrinsic changes that contribute to metastatic capacity, including epithelial to mesenchymal transition, enhanced migration and invasion, and an increase in ERK signaling.

Background And Objectives: As the concept of a clinician-educator (CE) evolves and the multiple competencies of the role become better defined, there seems to be a growing need for targeted training for clinicians pursuing a career in medical education. This study aims to describe the current state of CE tracks in adult neurology residency programs and to identify the barriers to implementation, potential solutions, and program goals and outcomes.
Methods: We characterized CE tracks using 2 methods.
Mixed responses to targeted therapy driven by chromosomal instability through p53 dysfunction and genome doubling.

The phenomenon of mixed/heterogenous treatment responses to cancer therapies within an individual patient presents a challenging clinical scenario. Furthermore, the molecular basis of mixed intra-patient tumor responses remains unclear. Here, we show that patients with metastatic lung adenocarcinoma harbouring co-mutations of EGFR and TP53, are more likely to have mixed intra-patient tumor responses to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibition (TKI), compared to those with an EGFR mutation alone.

This viral infection leads to substantial morbidity and mortality among these fish species. This study aimed to confirm the presence of KHVD in the Kurdistan region of Iraq by employing clinical and optimized molecular assays on fish populations experiencing high mortality among common carp in carp farms.

Metabolic changes contribute to cancer initiation and progression through effects on cancer cells, the tumor microenvironment and whole-body metabolism. Alterations in serine metabolism and the control of one-carbon cycles have emerged as critical for the development of many tumor types. In this Review, we focus on the mitochondrial folate cycle.
