In structured light tweezers, it is a challenging technical issue to realize the complete circular motion of the trapped particles parallel to the optical axis. Herein, we propose and generate a novel optical skipping rope via combining beam shaping technology, Fourier shift theorem, and beam grafting technology. This optical skipping rope can induce the transverse orbital angular momentum (OAM) (i.e., nominal OAM, whose direction is perpendicular to the optical axis) and transfer it to the particles, so that the particles have a transverse torque, thereby causing the particles to rotate parallel to the optical axis. Experimentally, our optical tweezers validate that the designed optical skipping rope realizes the orbital motion of polystyrene particles parallel to the optical axis. Additionally, the experiments also demonstrate that the optical skipping ropes manipulate particles to move along the oblique coil trajectory and three-dimensional (3D) cycloidal trajectory. Using the laser beam induced OAM, this innovative technology increases the degree of freedom for manipulating particles, which is of great significance for the application of optical tweezers in optical manipulation, micromechanics, and mimicry of celestial orbits.

Gene expression & biochemical analysis in alkaptonuria caused by a founder pathogenic variant across different age groups from India.
Indian J Med Res

Department of Clinical Genetics, Christian Medical College, Vellore, Tamil Nadu, India.
Background & objectives Alkaptonuria (AKU) is an autosomal recessive disease wherein biallelic pathogenic variants in the homogentisate 1,2- dioxygenase (HGD) gene encoding the enzyme homogentisate 1,2 dioxygenase cause high levels of homogentisic acid (HGA) to circulate within the body leading to its deposition in connective tissues and excretion in urine. A homozygous splice donor variant (c.87+1G>A) has been identified to be the founder variant causing alkaptonuria among Narikuravars, a group of gypsies settled in Tamil Nadu.

Article Synopsis
- - Familial dysautonomia (FD) is a serious inherited disorder caused by a specific genetic mutation that leads to neurological and systemic issues, resulting in shorter life expectancy for those affected.
- - Researchers developed a CRISPR base editor that can precisely correct the T-to-C mutation causing FD, achieving up to 70% successful editing in cell tests and improving the inclusion of a specific gene exon by over 50%.
- - The study also included an effective delivery method using engineered adeno-associated virus vectors, demonstrating that this approach can correct genetic defects in neurons and shows promise for a potential permanent treatment for FD with minimal side effects.

Studies on eye movements during reading have primarily focussed on the processing of content words (CWs), such as verbs and nouns. Those few studies that have analysed eye movements on function words (FWs), such as articles and prepositions, have reported that FWs are typically skipped more often and, when fixated, receive fewer and shorter fixations than CWs. However, those studies were often conducted in languages where FWs contain comparatively little information (e.

Article Synopsis
- Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the primary cause of permanent blindness in developed countries, with certain genetic variations in the complement factor I (CFI) gene increasing the risk of developing the disease.
- Research focusing on the Finnish population revealed novel CFI rare variants (RVs) in individuals with dry AMD, highlighting the need to understand how these genetic factors influence disease progression.
- Functional assays showed the G547R variant severely disrupts CFI's regulatory role in the complement system, while another variant, G328R, affects protein production; these findings suggest that certain RVs significantly contribute to AMD risk in this population.
