Forkhead box protein J1 (FOXJ1), a member of the forkhead family, is an important transcription factor regulating multiciliated cell differentiation and motile ciliogenic program. Here, we established a FOXJ1- EGFP knock-in human embryonic stem cell (hESC) line by inserting a P2A-EGFP gene cassette of FOXJ1 using CRISPR/Cas9 system. The reporter cell line retained a normal karyotype, expressed comparable pluripotent marker genes, and maintained differentiation potential. This reporter cell line enables live identification of multiciliated cells during the general lung differentiation and will be a valuable tool for studying the multiciliated cell differentiation, ciliogenesis and mechanism of related pulmonary diseases.

Pediatric central nervous system (CNS) tumors represent 20-25% of childhood malignancies, with 35-40 new cases annually in Slovakia. Despite treatment advances, high mortality and poor quality of life in a lot of cases persist. This study assesses the clinical features, treatment modalities, and survival rates of pediatric CNS tumor patients in the single largest center in Slovakia.

Purpose: The impact of ventriculomegaly (VM) on cortical development and brain functionality has been extensively explored in existing literature. VM has been associated with higher risks of attention-deficit and hyperactivity disorders, as well as cognitive, language, and behavior deficits. Some studies have also shown a relationship between VM and cortical overgrowth, along with reduced cortical folding, both in fetuses and neonates.

Atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor (AT/RT) is a rare embryonal central nervous system tumor with a dismal prognosis that occurs mostly in early childhood. Since recent epidemiological and prognostic information is limited, we aimed to describe and analyze AT/RT-related incidences, temporal trends and prognostic factors. Incidence and survival data between 2001 and 2021 were extracted from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database.

In this study, we analyzed the spatio-temporal pattern of expression of specific transcription factors (PITX2, FOXA1, BARHL1, FOXP1, FOXP2) in the human fetal subthalamic nucleus and its neighboring structures from 11 postconceptional weeks (PCW) to 3 postnatal months. We found that all analyzed transcription factors are expressed already during the early fetal period (at 11 PCW). Both FOXP1- and FOXP2-immunoreactive cells were found in the subthalamic nucleus as well as in the striatum, thalamus, reticular nucleus, but not in the zona incerta.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic, chronic inflammatory disease characterized by altered levels of inflammatory cytokines. One of the key cytokines involved in the pathogenesis of RA is tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), which plays a crucial role in the differentiation of T cells and B cells and serves as a primary trigger of inflammation and joint damage in RA. Human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) have shown potential in alleviating the symptoms of RA.
