Intellectual stability in children with unilateral brain lesions.

Published: January 1994

In this paper we report on the longitudinal stability of IQ in 26 children with unilateral left (LL N = 18) or right (RL N = 8) hemisphere damage. Results revealed (i) normal or near normal levels of intellectual performance in both LL and RL groups, and, (ii) hemispheric differences in the level and stability of intellectual performance. RL children achieved lower IQ scores than LL children and were more likely to decrease in VIQ over time. Cross-sectional analyses revealed a tendency for injury sustained earlier (e.g. during the first 5 years of age), rather than later in development to be associated with lower IQ scores.

Both DNA replication and RNA transcription utilize genomic DNA as their template, necessitating spatial and temporal separation of these processes. Conflicts between the replication and transcription machinery, termed transcription-replication conflicts (TRCs), pose a considerable risk to genome stability, a critical factor in cancer development. While several factors regulating these collisions have been identified, pinpointing primary causes remains difficult due to limited tools for direct visualization and clear interpretation.

SHP2 promotes the epithelial-mesenchymal transition in triple negative breast cancer cells by regulating β-catenin.

J Cancer Res Clin Oncol

January 2025

Key Laboratory of Laboratory Medicine, Ministry of Education of China, School of Laboratory Medicine and Life Sciences, Wenzhou Medical University, Wenzhou, 325035, Zhejiang, China.

Purpose: Growing evidence suggests that the tyrosine phosphatase SHP2 is pivotal for tumor progression. Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most lethal subtype of breast cancer, characterized by its high recurrence rate, aggressive metastasis, and resistance to chemotherapy. Understanding the mechanisms of tumorigenesis and the underlying molecular pathways in TNBC could aid in identifying new therapeutic targets.
