ABSTRACT Genome‐wide non‐invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) is a powerful tool for prenatal detection of the common aneuploidies causing Down‐, Edwards‐, and Patau syndrome. Its genome‐wide reach also enables the detection of unbalanced structural chromosomal abnormalities.

ABSTRACT To determine whether TXNDC15 variation causes Meckel–Gruber syndrome (MKS), we assessed the pathogenicity of the frameshift variant c.560delA. A CRISPR–Cas9 generated mouse model carrying the equivalent Txndc15 c.512delA mutation was analyzed at embryonic day 15.5.

A Novel Human Cellular System for Studying Normal Aging and for Anti‐Aging Discovery
This study introduces a human cellular aging model using placental trophoblasts (hTSC‐STBs) that mimics key aging features like senescence and genomic instability. It aligns with human tissue aging and responds to anti‐aging treatments, offering a scalable platform to screen potential therapies and bridge lab findings to clinical applications ...

The Secretome of Human Trophoblast Stem Cells Attenuates Senescence‐Associated Traits
Human trophoblast stem cell‐derived secretome/conditioned medium (hTSC‐CM) and the extracellular vesicles (EVs) therein suppress DNA damage and NF‐κB activation in senescent fibroblasts, in turn reducing the production of senescence‐associated secretory phenotype (SASP) factors. This study highlights hTSC‐CM and EVs as potential senotherapeutic agents.

Glycogenosis type II (acid maltase deficiency) [PDF]
Glycogen storage disease type II (GSD II/glycogenosis type II/Pompe's disease/acid maltase deficiency) is caused by the deficiency of lysosomal α-glucosidase resulting in lysosomal accumulation of glycogen.
