The morphology of the nucleus is roughly spherical in most eukaryotic cells. However, this organelle shape needs to change as the cell travels through narrow intercellular spaces during cell migration and during cell division in organisms that undergo closed mitosis, i.e.

Background: Currently, Alzheimer's disease (AD) cohort datasets are difficult to find and lack across-cohort interoperability, and the actual content of publicly available datasets often only becomes clear to third-party researchers once data access has been granted. These aspects severely hinder the advancement of AD research through emerging data-driven approaches such as machine learning and artificial intelligence and bias current data-driven findings towards the few commonly used, well-explored AD cohorts. To achieve robust and generalizable results, validation across multiple datasets is crucial.

Article Synopsis
  • Vedolizumab is a monoclonal antibody that targets integrin α4β7 on T-cells, preventing their migration to the gastrointestinal tract, and has been primarily used to treat inflammatory bowel disease in adults, though data on its use in children is limited.
  • A study was conducted on 42 pediatric patients with inflammatory bowel disease who did not respond to previous anti-TNF therapies, evaluating the effectiveness and safety of vedolizumab for inducing and maintaining clinical remission.
  • Results showed that at 14 weeks, 69% of patients responded to treatment and 52.4% achieved remission, with the response rates remaining high at 30 weeks, and most patients who achieved remission at week 14 maintained it at week

Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a common and debilitating condition associated with a number of chemotherapeutic agents. Drugs commonly implicated in the development of CIPN include platinum agents, taxanes, vinca alkaloids, bortezomib, and thalidomide analogues. As a drug response can vary between individuals, it is hypothesized that an individual's specific genetic variants could impact the regulation of genes involved in drug pharmacokinetics, ion channel functioning, neurotoxicity, and DNA repair, which in turn affect CIPN development and severity.

Diverse genotyping methods, including multiple-locus variable-number tandem-repeat (VNTR) analysis (MLVA), pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), and multilocus sequence typing (MLST), were used for genotyping Staphylococcus aureus in samples recovered from a clinical case of osteomyelitis. An unexpected genetic diversity of strains was determined, including four new sequence types (ST 1521, 1522, 1628 and 1629) belonging to the same genetic lineage, implying the appearance of a new subgroup derived from clonal complex CC121 isolated from that hospital. A close phylogenetic relationship among the STs was demonstrated, reflecting a possible diversifying evolution process.
