Base editing, a CRISPR-based genome editing technology, enables precise correction of single-nucleotide variants, promising resolutive treatment for monogenic genetic disorders like recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB). However, the application of base editors in cell manufacturing is hindered by inconsistent efficiency and high costs, contributed by suboptimal delivery methods. Nanoneedles have emerged as an effective delivery approach, enabling highly efficient, non-perturbing gene therapies both in vitro and in vivo.

Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is an important factor in the etiology of recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs). Permanent kidney damage may develop in children with high-grade VUR in the long term. This damage may progress with the development of scar tissue in some patients.

Genetic studies in Latin America have expanded, but further efforts are needed to understand cancer susceptibility genes beyond BRCA1 and BRCA2, especially by characterizing the prevalence and spectrum of pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants (PVs) in the region. This study aimed to determine the frequency of hereditary cancer syndromes (HCS) in Colombians with solid tumors and to characterize the spectrum of PVs. Using data from the Colombia's largest Institutional Hereditary Cancer Program, we included patients aged ≥18 years with solid tumors who met HCS criteria and were offered genetic testing with a 105-cancer gene panel.

The identification of recurrent mutations in genes encoding the cohesin complex in cancer was among the most unexpected findings from cancer exome sequencing studies. Cohesin is a multi-subunit protein complex that is essential for sister chromatid cohesion, three-dimensional chromosome organization, DNA damage repair, and gene regulation. It forms a ring around DNA, with four structural subunits, SMC1A, SMC3, RAD21, and either STAG1 or STAG2.

Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) is most commonly associated with cirrhosis due to the reduced blood flow through the liver. However, its occurrence in non-cirrhotic individuals is rare and typically linked to hypercoagulable states. The postpartum period is a recognized hypercoagulable state, yet PVT in this context remains uncommon.
