Introduction: The regulation of expression during T-cell development and immune responses is essential for proper lineage commitment and function in the periphery. However, the mechanisms of genetic and epigenetic regulation are complex, and their interplay not entirely understood. Previously, we demonstrated the need for CD4 upregulation during positive selection to ensure faithful commitment of MHC-II-restricted T cells to the CD4 lineage.

Objectives: In rectal cancer surgery, a diverting stoma (DS) is used to prevent severe anastomotic leakage (AL), peritonitis, reoperation, and longer hospitalization. DS creation has increased in the last few decades, without establishment of clear criteria for construction of a DS. Therefore, the goal of the study was to investigate the validity of DS construction based on risk factors for AL, as an approach to reduce the number of stoma creations.

During normal cellular homeostasis, unfolded and mislocalized proteins are recognized and removed, preventing the build-up of toxic byproducts. When protein homeostasis is perturbed during ageing, neurodegeneration or cellular stress, proteins can accumulate several forms of chemical damage through reactive metabolites. Such modifications have been proposed to trigger the selective removal of chemically marked proteins; however, identifying modifications that are sufficient to induce protein degradation has remained challenging.

Introduction: Cracked teeth present diagnostic and treatment challenges due to their complex etiology and uncertain prognoses. This study evaluated the potential of Quantitative Light-induced Fluorescence (QLF) technology for diagnosing cracked teeth and its utility in predicting the need for root canal treatment (RCT).
Methods: A total of 207 cracked teeth from 149 patients diagnosed between April 2019 and April 2023 were analyzed.
