Lateral lymph node dissection (LLND) is getting global attention as an a surgical option to reduce local recurrence in locally advanced rectal cancer. As the transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME) is gaining popularity worldwide, a novel LLND approach was established adopting a two-team approach that combines the transabdominal and transanal approaches using the TaTME technique. This narrative review describes the advantages, anatomical landmarks, surgical techniques, and pitfalls of transanal LLND (TaLLND).

QTL mapping of two RIL populations in multiple environments revealed a consistent QTL for bristle length, and combined with RNA-seq, a potential candidate gene influencing bristle length was identified. Foxtail millet bristles play a vital role in increasing yields and preventing bird damage. However, there is currently limited research on the molecular regulatory mechanisms underlying foxtail millet bristle formation, which constrains the genetic improvement and breeding of new foxtail millet varieties.

Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease characterised by the destruction of pancreatic beta cells, resulting in lifelong insulin dependence. Although exogenous insulin can maintain glycaemic control, this approach does not protect residual or replacement pancreatic beta cells from immune-mediated death. Current therapeutics designed to protect functional beta cell mass or promote beta cell proliferation and regeneration can have off-target effects, resulting in higher dose requirements and adverse side effects.

Introduction And Hypothesis: The relationship between autophagy and pelvic organ prolapse (POP) remains unknown. The aim of this novel experimental study, utilizing tissue samples derived from women undergoing gynecological surgery, is to investigate the role of autophagy in mitigating collagen degradation in human vaginal fibroblasts induced by oxidative stress, with particular emphasis on its implications in the pathogenesis of POP. Exploring the role of autophagy in protecting against collagen degradation and cellular senescence in human vaginal fibroblasts under oxidative stress may offer new insights into therapeutic strategies for conditions such as POP.

So far, the striking sign reversal in the near-ambient slope of the gap temperature dependence of colloidal CsPbCl perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) compared to its Br counterpart remains unresolved. Pure bromide NCs exhibit a linear gap increase with increasing temperature, to which thermal expansion and electron-phonon interaction equally contribute. In contrast, the temperature slope for the chlorine compound gap is clearly negative.
