A new variant translocation, (8;20)(q22;q13) in a patient with acute myelocytic leukemia (AML) M2 is reported. As far as we know, this is the second case of the t(8;20) in de novo AML. Further studies are required to clarify the key event leading to the development of AML-M2.

Lamins, which are crucial type V intermediate filament proteins found in the nuclear lamina, are essential for maintaining the stability and function of the nucleus in higher vertebrates. They are classified into A- and B-types, and their distinct expression patterns contribute to cellular survival, development, and functionality. Lamins emerged during the transition from open to closed mitosis, with their complexity increasing alongside organism evolution.

Tigecycline (Tgc), a third-generation tetracycline is found as the last line of defense against multi-drug resistant bacteria. Recent increased rate of resistance to tgc, a human-restricted agent among animal bacteria poses a significant global health challenge. Overuse of first generation tetracyclines (Tet) and phenicols in animals have been suggested to be associated with Tgc resistance development.

Gut Microbiota Metabolites Sensed by Host GPR41/43 Protect Against Hypertension.

Circ Res

January 2025

Hypertension Research Laboratory, School of Biological Sciences (R.R.M., T.Z., E.D., L.X., A.B.-W., H.A.J., M.N., M.P., K.C.L., W.Q., J.A.O.D., F.Z.M.).

Background: Fermentation of dietary fiber by the gut microbiota leads to the production of metabolites called short-chain fatty acids, which lower blood pressure and exert cardioprotective effects. Short-chain fatty acids activate host signaling responses via the functionally redundant receptors GPR41 and GPR43, which are highly expressed by immune cells. Whether and how these receptors protect against hypertension or mediate the cardioprotective effects of dietary fiber remains unknown.

To explore the genetic cause of a four-generation severe intellectual disability in a Chinese family using nanopore sequencing and to provide genetic counseling and reproductive guidance for family members. Multiple genetic analyses of the proband and family members were performed, including chromosome karyotype analysis, whole exome sequencing, nanopore sequencing, PCR amplification, and Sanger sequencing. The results of G-binding karyotyping, CGG repeats for FMR1, GGC repeats for NOTCH2NCL, and trio-whole-exome sequencing were negative for the proband and his parents.
