There are thousands of Mendelian diseases with more being discovered weekly and the majority have no approved treatments. To address this need, we require scalable approaches that are relatively inexpensive compared to traditional drug development. In the absence of a validated drug target, phenotypic screening in model organisms provides a route for identifying candidate treatments.

Utilising snake rescue data to understand snake-human conflict in Hooghly, West Bengal, India.

Background: Snakebite envenoming, classified as a neglected tropical disease, poses a significant threat to life in India, where it is estimated to cause 58 000 fatalities as well as 140 000 morbidities annually. To reduce the occurrence of snakebite, we need a comprehensive understanding of human-snake conflict ecology. Snake rescue networks represent a vital resource for gathering such ecological data.

Article Synopsis
  • Biological aging involves a gradual loss of homeostasis in molecular and cellular functions, particularly in the brain, which contains diverse cell types that differ in their aging resilience.
  • This study offers an extensive single-cell RNA sequencing dataset of approximately 1.2 million transcriptomes from brain cells in young and aged mice, identifying 847 cell clusters and 14 age-biased clusters predominantly involving glial types.
  • Key findings reveal specific gene expression changes with aging, including decreased neuronal function genes and increased immune-related genes, particularly in cells around the third ventricle of the hypothalamus, suggesting its critical role in the aging process of the mouse brain.

Noncardiogenic pulmonary edema after cardiac surgery is a rare but severe complication. The etiology remains poorly understood; however, the issue may arise from multiple sources. Possible causes include a significant inflammatory response or an autoimmune process.

Valine Restriction Extends Survival in a Drosophila Model of Short-Chain Enoyl-CoA Hydratase 1 (ECHS1) Deficiency.

J Inherit Metab Dis

January 2025

Department of Biochemistry and Chemistry and La Trobe Institute for Molecular Science, La Trobe University, Bundoora, Victoria, Australia.

Short-chain enoyl-CoA hydratase 1 deficiency (ECHS1D) is a rare genetic disorder caused by biallelic pathogenic variants in the ECHS1 gene. ECHS1D is characterised by severe neurological and physical impairment that often leads to childhood mortality. Therapies such as protein and single nutrient-restricted diets show poor efficacy, whereas the development of new treatments is hindered by the low prevalence of the disorder and a lack of model systems for treatment testing.
