AI Article Synopsis

  • Rare bleeding disorders (RBD) like deficiencies in factors II, V, VII, and X account for about 5% of inherited bleeding disorders globally and are crucial in blood clotting.
  • Incomplete evaluations and misinterpretation of lab tests can lead to delayed diagnoses, impacting patient health outcomes.
  • The best treatment for RBD involves using specific single-factor concentrates for managing acute bleeding, surgical needs, and preventative care.

Article Abstract

Although rare clotting factor deficiencies primarily referred to as rare bleeding disorders (RBD), including factors II, V, VII, and X, make up ∼5% of all inherited bleeding disorders worldwide, each of these clotting factors play a critical role in the coagulation cascade. Incomplete bleeding evaluation or misinterpretation of laboratory studies can result in delayed diagnoses that ultimately affect patient outcomes. Bleeding manifestations can range from mild to severe, but the most common are mucocutaneous bleeding. The ideal treatment in RBD is dedicated single-factor concentrates that can be used for acute bleeding events, surgical management, and prophylaxis.

Identifying inflammation-induced leukocyte subsets and their derived circulating factors has been instrumental in understanding the progession of ALI/ARDS. Nevertheless, how primary inflammation-induced non-leukocyte populations in distal organs contribute to ALI/ARDS remains poorly defined. Here, we report one population of erythroblast-like cells (Ter-cells) deriving from megakaryocyte- erythroid progenitor cells with a unique Ter-119+CD45-CD71+ phenotype in ALI/ARDS.

Cell wall components of gut commensal bacteria stimulate peritrophic matrix formation in malaria vector mosquitoes through activation of the IMD pathway.

The peritrophic matrix (PM) acts as a physical barrier that influences the vector competence of mosquitoes. We have previously shown that gut microbiota promotes PM formation in Anopheles stephensi, although the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we identify that the cell wall components of gut commensal bacteria contribute to PM formation.

Importance: A high infection burden in early childhood is common and a risk factor for later disease development. However, longitudinal birth cohort studies investigating early-life infection burden and later risk of infection and antibiotic episodes are lacking.

Objective: To investigate whether early-life infection burden is associated with a later risk of infection and systemic antibiotic treatment episodes in childhood.

Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is an energy-consuming organ, and its functional dysregulation contributes to the development of metabolic diseases and obesity. BAT function is regulated by the sympathetic nervous system but declines with age, which is partly caused by reduced sympathetic nerve fibers innervating BAT. Thus far, the role of mesenchymal stromal/stem cells in age-related BAT dysfunction remains unknown.

Hsf1 is essential for proteotoxic stress response in smyd1b-deficient embryos and fish survival under heat shock.

FASEB J

Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Institute of Marine and Environmental Technology, University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland, USA.

Molecular chaperones play critical roles in post-translational maintenance in protein homeostasis. Previous studies have shown that loss of Smyd1b function results in defective myofibril organization and dramatic upregulation of heat shock protein gene (hsp) expression in muscle cells of zebrafish embryos. To investigate the molecular mechanisms and functional importance of this stress response, we characterized changes of gene expression in smyd1b knockdown and knockout embryos using RNA-seq.
