Article Synopsis
  • Activated phosphoinositide 3-kinase delta (PI3Kδ) syndrome (APDS) is a rare genetic disease that disrupts the immune system, causing various symptoms that usually begin in childhood.
  • In a phase III clinical trial, a drug called leniolisib was shown to effectively reduce lymph node swelling and increase naïve B cell levels in both adolescents and adults with APDS compared to those given a placebo.
  • The study found that leniolisib was well-tolerated across age groups and suggests it could be a promising treatment option for managing APDS by addressing the underlying cause rather than just the symptoms.

In this study, we analyze a series of molecules belonging to the C(M) molecular symmetry group which are characterized by several conformers. The use of molecular symmetry at each stage of calculating the energy of stationary torsional states is demonstrated. In particular, the importance is shown of preliminary symmetrization of physical characteristics of the molecules obtained by quantum chemical calculations.

October 2024

Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Faculty of Medicine in Pilsen, University Hospital Pilsen, Charles University, 323 00 Pilsen, Czech Republic.

: Ovarian, fallopian tube, and primary peritoneal cancers often share clinical characteristics and are typically diagnosed at advanced stages due to nonspecific symptoms. The utility of tumor markers, particularly CA125 and HE4, in the diagnosis and follow-up of these cancers remains an area of active investigation. : The CEEGOG (Central and Eastern European Gynecologic Oncology Group) OX-01 study aimed to evaluate HE4's role alongside CA125 in follow-up for advanced-stage ovarian, fallopian tube, and primary peritoneal cancers.

The aim of this study was to develop a new series of isocryptolepines and evaluate their antiproliferative and antiestrogenic activities on cancer cells. A series of isocryptolepine derivatives were synthesized using developed one-pot photochemical, metal-free protocol, employing readily available 2-arylindoles as starting compounds. The resulting isocryptolepines demonstrated (sub)micromolar inhibitory activity against selected breast cancer cell lines.

Microorganisms are integral to ecosystem functioning and host adaptation, yet the understanding of microbiomes in diverse beetle taxa remains limited. We conducted a comprehensive study to investigate the microbial composition of two red flat bark beetle species, Cucujus haematodes and C. cinnaberinus, and assessed the influence of host taxonomic relatedness and host tree species on their microbiomes.

Impact of global environmental changes on the range contraction of Eurasian moose since the Late Pleistocene.

Sci Total Environ

December 2024

Department of Palaeozoology, Faculty of Biological Sciences, University of Wrocław, Sienkiewicza 21, 50-335 Wrocław, Poland.

Climatic oscillations are considered primary factors influencing the distribution of various life forms on Earth. Large species adapted to cold climates are particularly vulnerable to extinction due to climate changes. In our study, we investigated whether temperature increase since the Late Pleistocene and the contraction of environmental niche during the Holocene were the main factors contributing to the decreasing range of moose (Alces alces) in Europe.

Scar-related ventricular tachycardia (VT) commonly results from scarring in the myocardium, principally produced by antecedent myocardial infarction, cardiomyopathy, or prior cardiac surgery. The resultant arrhythmogenic substrate from scarred tissue and the alteration of normal cardiac electrical conduction predispose patients to reentrant circuits, followed by VT. This literature review synthesizes current research on pathophysiology, diagnostic methods, and treatment modalities of scar-related VT.

Article Synopsis
  • - HfZrO (HZO) is gaining popularity for its strong ferroelectric properties, small size (less than 10 nm), and compatibility with CMOS technology, which is essential for modern electronics.
  • - Traditional HZO films require improvements to meet demands for reduced thermal budget and lower power use, leading to the introduction of a middle layer (ML) strategy to enhance features like ferroelectricity and control the wake-up effect in ferroelectric capacitors.
  • - The study found that using a ZrO middle layer led to impressive results, achieving a high remnant polarization and very low wake-up ratios, while also confirming the capacitor's reliability over millions of cycles.

Article Synopsis
  • - The text discusses the importance of detecting Salmonella in food due to its association with salmonellosis outbreaks, highlighting the use of immunochemical methods like ELISA for detection.
  • - Traditionally, commercial ELISA kits focus on detecting lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from Salmonella using a sandwich technique, but the authors aimed to create a competitive ELISA for improved sensitivity.
  • - The newly developed competitive ELISA test shows enhanced sensitivity, consistent results, and can detect any Salmonella serotype through a method that uses a BSA-LPS conjugate and specific monoclonal antibodies, contributing to better food safety and public health.

Complement factor H in molecular regulation of angiogenesis.

Med Rev (2021)

October 2024

Laboratory of Translational Medicine in Microvascular Regulation, Institute of Microvascular Medicine, Medical Research Center, The First Affiliated Hospital of Shandong First Medical University & Shandong Provincial Qianfoshan Hospital, Jinan, Shandong Province, China.

Angiogenesis, the process of formation of new capillaries from existing blood vessels, is required for multiple physiological and pathological processes. Complement factor H (CFH) is a plasma protein that inhibits the alternative pathway of the complement system. Loss of CFH enhances the alternative pathway and increases complement activation fragments with pro-angiogenic capacity, including complement 3a, complement 5a, and membrane attack complex.

Article Synopsis
  • Drug resistance in cancer chemotherapy is a major issue, with cancer cells often shifting to fatty acid metabolism to evade treatment.
  • The researchers created a drug called folate-polySia (FpSA) that induces microcalcification in cervical cancer cells resistant to cisplatin, leading to decreased fatty acid uptake and increased glycolysis.
  • The combination of cisplatin and FpSA not only inhibited tumor growth but also improved survival rates in mice, suggesting a new strategy to tackle chemotherapy-resistant tumors by reprogramming cancer cell metabolism.
