The control of intracellular membrane trafficking by Rho GTPases is central to cellular homeostasis. How specific guanine nucleotide exchange factors and GTPase-activating proteins locally balance GTPase activation in this process is nevertheless largely unclear. By performing a microscopy-based RNAi screen, we here identify the RhoGEF protein Solo as a functional counterplayer of DLC3, a RhoGAP protein with established roles in membrane trafficking. Biochemical, imaging and optogenetics assays further uncover Solo as a novel regulator of endosomal RhoB. Remarkably, we find that Solo and DLC3 control not only the activity, but also total protein levels of RhoB in an antagonistic manner. Together, the results of our study uncover the first functionally connected RhoGAP-RhoGEF pair at endomembranes, placing Solo and DLC3 at the core of endocytic trafficking.

Modern sequencing technologies allow for the addition of short-sequence tags, known as anchors, to both ends of a captured molecule. Anchors are useful in assembling the full-length sequence of a captured molecule as they can be used to accurately determine the endpoints. One representative of such anchor-enabled technology is LoopSeq Solo, a synthetic long read (SLR) sequencing protocol.

Article Synopsis
- Differentiating between ventricular tachycardia (VT) and supraventricular wide tachycardia (SWCT) using 12-lead ECG is challenging and has traditionally depended on manual interpretation, which can be limited by the user's expertise.
- Recent research has introduced automated algorithms that may offer improved accuracy over manual methods, but there has been little direct comparison between these two approaches.
- A study by LoCoco et al. (2024) evaluated the effectiveness of traditional manual ECG differentiation methods against five automated algorithms, analyzing 213 ECGs to assess their diagnostic performance.

In the maritime environment, the instance segmentation of small ships is crucial. Small ships are characterized by their limited appearance, smaller size, and ships in distant locations in marine scenes. However, existing instance segmentation algorithms do not detect and segment them, resulting in inaccurate ship segmentation.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to develop a novel approach for predicting the expression status of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) and its subtypes in patients with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) using a Three-Dimensional Convolutional Neural Network (3D-CNN) ConvNeXt, radiomics features and clinical features.
Materials And Methods: A total of 732 NSCLC patients with available CT imaging and EGFR expression data were included in this retrospective study. The region of interest (ROI) was manually segmented, and clinicopathological features were collected.
Article Synopsis
- - Vitiligo is a skin condition marked by white patches due to loss of pigment, and microneedling emerges as a promising treatment to promote skin regeneration and melanocyte movement, which are crucial for repigmentation.
- - This review assesses microneedling's effectiveness, safety, and patient satisfaction compared to traditional vitiligo treatments, focusing on outcomes such as repigmentation rates and side effects gathered from various studies and databases.
- - Results indicate that microneedling significantly improves repigmentation, especially when combined with topical medications, and is well-tolerated with few manageable side effects, leading to high satisfaction among patients.
