Accumulated evidence from genetically modified cell and animal models indicates that centrosome amplification (CA) can initiate tumorigenesis with metastatic potential and enhance cell invasion. Multiple human diseases are associated with CA and carcinogenesis as well as metastasis, including infection with oncogenic viruses, type 2 diabetes, toxicosis by environmental pollution and inflammatory disease. In this review, we summarize (1) the evidence for the roles of CA in tumorigenesis and tumor cell invasion; (2) the association between diseases and carcinogenesis as well as metastasis; (3) the current knowledge of CA in the diseases; and (4) the signaling pathways of CA. We then give our own thinking and discuss perspectives relevant to CA in carcinogenesis and cancer metastasis in human diseases. In conclusion, investigations in this area might not only identify CA as a biological link between these diseases and the development of cancer but also prove the causal role of CA in cancer and progression under pathophysiological conditions, potentially taking cancer research into a new era.

Periodontal diseases afflict 20-50% of the global population and carry serious health and economic burdens. Chronic periodontitis is characterized by inflammation of the periodontal pocket caused by dysbiosis. This dysbiosis is coupled with an increase in the population of Treponema denticola, a spirochete bacterium with high mobility and invasivity mediated by a number of virulence factors.

Severe combined immunodeficiency disease (SCID), characterized by profound immune system dysfunction, can lead to life-threatening infections and death. Animal models play a pivotal role in elucidating biological processes and advancing therapeutic strategies. Recent advances in gene-editing technologies, including zinc-finger nucleases (ZFNs), transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALENs), CRISPR/Cas9, and base editing, have significantly enhanced the generation of SCID models.

Background: Transcriptional dysregulation, possibly affected by genetic variation, contributes to disease development. Due to dissimilarities in development, function, and remodeling during disease progression, transcriptional differences between the left atrial (LA) and right atrial (RA) may provide insight into diseases such as atrial fibrillation.
Methods: Lateral differences in atrial transcription were evaluated in CATCH ME (Characterizing Atrial fibrillation by Translating its Causes into Health Modifiers in the Elderly) using a 2-stage discovery and replication design.

A recent study design for clinical trials with small sample sizes is the small n, sequential, multiple assignment, randomized trial (snSMART). An snSMART design has been previously proposed to compare the efficacy of two dose levels versus placebo. In such a trial, participants are initially randomized to receive either low dose, high dose or placebo in stage 1.
