Several stick insects occurring in Brazil belong to the Diapheromerinae. Before this work, the Brazilian genus Exocnophila contained three species known only from females, Exocnophila exintegra Zompro, 2001, Exocnophila tuberculata (Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1907) and Exocnophila cornuta (Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1907). Based on recently collected material, we found that the males of Exocnophila are assigned to another genus in the Diapheromerinae, the heterogeneous Bacteria. Here we show that the type species Exocnophila exintegra Zompro, 2001 syn. nov. is a junior synonym of Bacteria brevitarsata Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1907, which is transferred and redescribed as Exocnophila brevitarsata comb. nov.. We also transfer and redescribe Bacteria hastata as Exocnophila hastata comb. nov. and propose a new species, Exocnophila ovifuscum sp. nov., from Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil, with descriptions of females, males and eggs. We provide the first biological observations for the genus and a short discussion about its relationships.

Quantitative imaging of loop extruders rebuilding interphase genome architecture after mitosis.

J Cell Biol

March 2025

Cell Biology and Biophysics Unit, European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) , Heidelberg, Germany.

How cells establish the interphase genome organization after mitosis is incompletely understood. Using quantitative and super-resolution microscopy, we show that the transition from a Condensin to a Cohesin-based genome organization occurs dynamically over 2 h. While a significant fraction of Condensins remains chromatin-bound until early G1, Cohesin-STAG1 and its boundary factor CTCF are rapidly imported into daughter nuclei in telophase, immediately bind chromosomes as individual complexes, and are sufficient to build the first interphase TAD structures.

Purpose: is one of the most frequently mutated genes in intellectual disability cohorts. Thus, far few adult-aged patients with -related disorder have been described, which limits our understanding of the disease's natural history and our ability to counsel patients and their families.

Methods: Data on patients aged 18+ years with -related disorder were collected through an online questionnaire completed by clinicians and parents.

Atrial Secondary Tricuspid Regurgitation: Insights Into the EuroTR Registry.

Article Synopsis
  • Atrial secondary tricuspid regurgitation (A-STR) is a subtype of secondary tricuspid regurgitation (STR) that is often treated with transcatheter tricuspid valve edge-to-edge repair (T-TEER), showing distinct patient characteristics and treatment outcomes.
  • A study involving 641 patients revealed that 31% had A-STR, which was linked to better heart function, a higher presence of atrial fibrillation, and more effective TR reduction post-procedure compared to nonatrial STR patients.
  • A-STR patients experienced improved survival rates and lower symptomatic burdens after treatment; only 38% remained symptomatic (NYHA class ≥III) after 2 years, compared to 46

As the survival prognosis of cancer patients continues to improve, the improvement in quality of life during and after cancer treatment is becoming increasingly important 1. Exercise therapy has a positive effect on so-called "patient-reported outcomes" 2. The combination of endurance training and individualized strength training plays a particularly important role here.

Introduction: Numerous early-life risk factors are thought to significantly contribute to the development of psychological problems in toddlerhood. However, these factors have seldom been investigated concomitantly and longitudinally, and few studies include both mothers and fathers. This study examines the longitudinal impact of early environmental, parental, and child-specific risk factors on children's internalizing and externalizing symptomatology at age 4.
