A complex containing total histone and antibiotic kanamycin was produced under optimal conditions using glutaric aldehyde. The obtained water-soluble covalently bound conjugates of these substances were identified by means of enzyme labelled immunoassay and their molecular mass estimated. The validity of new class of highly effective drugs, which may be produced basing on the principles studied, was substantiated considering that histones exhibit the transport properties and are able to augment hematoencephalic barrier permeability.

Ubiquitously transcribed tetratricopeptide repeat on chromosome X (UTX) is a chromatin modifier responsible for regulating the demethylation of histone H3 lysine 27 trimethylation (H3K27me3), which is crucial for human neurodevelopment. To date, the impact of UTX on neurodevelopment remains elusive. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the potential molecular mechanisms underlying the effects of UTX on neurodevelopment through untargeted metabolomics based on ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS).

Bidirectional promoters (BDPs) regulate the transcription of two adjacent, oppositely oriented genes, offering a compact structure with significant potential for multigene expression systems. Although BDPs are evolutionarily conserved, their regulatory roles and sequence characteristics vary across species, with limited studies in fish. Here, we systematically analyzed the distribution, sequence features, and expression patterns of BDPs in the medaka () genome.

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a critical medical condition that requires immediate attention to minimise heart damage and improve survival rates. Early identification and prompt treatment are essential to save the patient's life. Currently, the treatment strategy focuses on restoring blood flow to the myocardium as quickly as possible.

Background: The histone gene H2AX and its phosphorylated protein γ-H2AX play a crucial role in the DNA damage response. This study investigates the expression of H2AX mRNA and its phosphorylated γ-H2AX protein in oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC), its association with distinct biological pathway alterations and its potential as a biomarker.
Materials And Methods: Expression of H2AX mRNA in 76 OPSCC from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) cohort was analyzed.

Background: Hypertension is common in patients with heart failure with mildly reduced or preserved ejection fraction (HFmrEF/HFpEF), and current guidelines recommend treating systolic blood pressure (SBP) to a target <130 mm Hg. However, data supporting treatment to this target are limited. Additionally, pulse pressure (PP), a marker of aortic stiffness, has been associated with increased risk of cardiovascular events, but its prognostic impact in HFpEF has not been extensively studied.
