Unraveling syndrome-driven osteosarcoma: genetic insights and therapeutic frontiers

open access: yesOrphanet Journal of Rare Diseases
Osteosarcoma is a highly malignant bone tumor, and a subset of cases is closely associated with hereditary syndromes. These syndrome-related osteosarcomas exhibit unique clinical features, molecular mechanisms, and therapeutic challenges.

Engineering compact Physalis peruviana (goldenberry) to promote its potential as a global crop

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Goldenberry (Physalis peruviana) produces sweet, nutritionally rich berries, yet like many minor crops, is cultivated in limited geographical regions and has not been a focus of breeding programs for trait enhancement. Leveraging knowledge of plant architecture‐related traits from related species, we used CRISPR/Cas9‐mediated gene editing to generate a

Fatal Hypogammaglobulinemia 3 Years after Rituximab in a Patient with Immune Thrombocytopenia: An Underlying Genetic Predisposition?

open access: yesCase Reports in Immunology, 2019
We report the case of a young woman who developed, 3 years after stopping Rituximab (RTX) prescribed for immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), a severe immunodeficiency leading to fatal pulmonary Epstein–Barr virus-positive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma ...

The potential effect of megafaunal extinctions on modern conservation of horse chestnut Aesculus hippocastanum

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Many plant species worldwide are struggling to regenerate due to the ongoing effects of climate change. These effects appear to be further exacerbated by the loss of keystone megafauna, which were important seed dispersers. By identifying the traits commonly seen in seeds spread by modern elephants, it is possible to predict which species likely ...

Chromosomal breakage and sister chromatid exchange analysis in breast cancer patients with heterozygous BLM gene variants

open access: yesTürk Biyokimya Dergisi
BLM, a member of the RecQ helicase family, plays an important role in DNA repair, and its biallelic mutations cause autosomal recessive Bloom syndrome, a disease characterized by elevated levels of sister chromatid exchange (SCE) in affected individuals ...

Multifaceted obscurity of Thismia abei (Thismiaceae): A fairy lantern with the protologue long disregarded in practice

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Tiny, leafless fairy lanterns are easily overlooked on the forest floor. Thismia abei, endemic to Japan, persists in small, unstable populations and is listed nationally as Critically Endangered. Our recent work has revealed another, less obvious form of obscurity.

Bloom syndrome

open access: yes, 2023
Bloom syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder with a higher prevalence among Ashkenazi Jews and the Japanese due to a founder effect. Caused by mutations in the {BLM} gene, a multifunctional ATP-dependent DNA helicase, it leads to genomic instability and defective DNA repair mechanisms, resulting in a significantly increased frequency of sister ...

Intercropping mitigates incidence of the oilseed rape insect pest complex

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Intercropping reduces the incidence of the oilseed rape insect pest complex with a significant impact of the direct visual and physical disruption provided by the companion plant. Abstract BACKGROUND Oilseed rape (OSR, Brassica napus) is a major crop requiring numerous phytosanitary treatments.

PROBING GENOME MAINTENANCE FUNCTIONS OF HUMAN RECQ1

open access: yesComputational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2013
The RecQ helicases are a highly conserved family of DNA-unwinding enzymes that play key roles in protecting the genome stability in all kingdoms of life.'Human RecQ homologs include RECQ1, BLM, WRN, RECQ4, and RECQ5β.'Although the individual RecQ-related
