The Crumbs protein (CRB) family plays a crucial role in maintaining the apical-basal polarity and integrity of embryonic epithelia. The family comprises different isoforms in different animals and possesses diverse structural, localization, and functional characteristics. Mutations in the human CRB1 or CRB2 gene may lead to a broad spectrum of retinal dystrophies. Various CRB-associated experimental models have recently provided mechanistic insights into human CRB-associated retinopathies. The knowledge obtained from these models corroborates the importance of CRB in retinal development and maintenance. Therefore, complete elucidation of these models can provide excellent therapeutic prospects for human CRB-associated retinopathies. In this review, we summarize the current animal models and human-derived models of different CRB family members and describe the main characteristics of their retinal phenotypes.

Digenic Inheritance Mode in Congenital Hypothyroidism due to Thyroid Dysgenesis: HYPOTYGEN translational cohort study.
J Clin Endocrinol Metab
January 2025
IMAGINE Institute Affiliate, INSERM U1163, Paris, France.
Context: Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) is the most common neonatal endocrine disorder and is chiefly caused by thyroid dysgenesis (CHTD). The inheritance mode of the disease remains complex.
Objectives: Gain insight into the inheritance mode of CHTD.
TRIM-endous functional network of tripartite motif 29 (TRIM29) in cancer progression and beyond.
Cancer Metastasis Rev

Department of Oncology, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins, Baltimore, MD, USA.
While most Tripartite motif (TRIM) family proteins are E3 ubiquitin ligases, some members have functions beyond the regulation of ubiquitination, impacting normal physiological processes and disease progression. TRIM29, an important member of the TRIM family, exerts a predominant influence on cancer growth, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, stemness and metastatic progression by directly potentiating multiple canonical oncogenic pathways. The cancer-promoting effect of TRIM29 is also evident in metabolic interventions and interference with the efficacy of cancer therapeutics.

J Pediatr Hematol Oncol Nurs
November 2024
Childhood Cancer Research Unit, Department of Women's and Children's Health, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden.
When a potential stem cell donor to a seriously ill child is a healthy sibling below 18 years, Swedish parents have the legal right and obligation to decide on behalf of the donor child. However, there are potentially conflicting loyalties when parents have one severely ill child in need for a cure and one healthy child who will be subjected to medical procedures. This study explored parents' experiences related to their decision on stem cell donation, as well as ethical considerations in the donation process where outcomes are uncertain.

Article Synopsis
- Deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus (STN-DBS) offers motor benefits for Parkinson's disease patients, but its effectiveness on postural and gait issues remains uncertain.
- Physical therapy (PT) has shown effectiveness in improving mobility and stability in non-surgically treated Parkinson's patients, but its role after STN-DBS is less explored.
- A study involving 21 experts highlighted that while PT could enhance motor function and quality of life post-STN-DBS, there’s a preference for conventional therapies over massage or manual techniques.
Reactive oxygen species and aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A as prognosis and theragnostic biomarker in acute myeloid leukaemia patients.
J Cell Mol Med

APHM, Hôpital de la Conception, Service d'Hématologie et Thérapie Cellulaire, Marseille, France.
Acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) remains a major unmet medical, despite recent progress in targeted molecular therapies. One aspect of leukaemic cell resistance to chemotherapy is the development of clones with increased capacity to respond to cellular stress and the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), thanks in particular to a high aldehyde dehydrogenases (ALDH) 1A1/2 activity. At diagnosis, ROS level and ALDH1A1/2 activity in AML patients BM are correlated with the different ELN 2022 prognostic groups and overall survival (OS).
