Uncovering the role of genetic polymorphisms in cervical insufficiency
International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.Pathways and genes implicated in CI pathogenesis. Abstract Cervical insufficiency (CI) is characterized by spontaneous dilation of the cervix in the absence of painful uterine contractions in the mid‐trimester, leading to premature delivery. It is responsible for up to 20% of second trimester pregnancy losses, mostly <24 weeks.

Advancing Extracellular Vesicle Research: A Review of Systems Biology and Multiomics Perspectives
PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membrane‐bound vesicles secreted by various cell types into the extracellular space and play a role in intercellular communication. Their molecular cargo varies depending on the cell of origin and its functional state.

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.This article reports the first genome sequence of a UK Alternaria brassicae isolate. Dual RNA‐sequencing profiling of A. brassicae‐infected Brassica juncea leaves identified differentially expressed genes involved in pathogenicity and host response pathways in moderately resistant Sej‐2 (2) and moderately susceptible Pusa Jaikisan cultivars.
