Ion channel function of polycystin‐2/polycystin‐1 heteromer revealed by structure‐guided mutagenesis
Mutations in polycystin‐1 (PC1) or polycystin‐2 (PC2) cause autosomal‐dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). We generated a novel gain‐of‐function PC2/PC1 heteromeric ion channel by mutating pore‐blocking residues. Moreover, we demonstrated that PC2 will preferentially assemble with PC1 to form heteromeric complexes when PC1 is co‐expressed ...

Diffuse Leptomeningeal Glioneuronal Tumor with FGFR1 Mutation in a 29-Year-Old Male
This study reports on diffuse leptomeningeal glioneuronal tumor (DL-GNT) in a 29- year-old male. DLGNT is a rare central nervous system (CNS) tumor mostly seen in children and only few cases have been reported in adult patients.

Decoding the dual role of autophagy in cancer through transcriptional and epigenetic regulation
Transcriptional and epigenetic regulation controls autophagy, which exerts context‐dependent effects on cancer: Autophagy suppresses tumorigenesis by maintaining cellular homeostasis or promotes tumor progression by supporting survival under stress. In this “In a Nutshell” article, we explore the intricate mechanisms of the dual function of autophagy ...

Laboratory investigation of daily food intake and gut evacuation in larvae of African catfish Clarias gariepinus under different feeding conditions [PDF]
Temporary accumulation of ascorbic acid 2-sulfate (AAS) was measured to estimate food intake and gut evacuation in larvae of African catfish. Fish larvae were fed decapsulated cysts of Artemia containing AAS.

Autophagy in cancer and protein conformational disorders
Autophagy plays a crucial role in numerous biological processes, including protein and organelle quality control, development, immunity, and metabolism. Hence, dysregulation or mutations in autophagy‐related genes have been implicated in a wide range of human diseases.

Actuated Reflector-Based Three-dimensional Ultrasound Imaging with Adaptive-Delay Synthetic Aperture Focusing [PDF]
Three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound (US) imaging addresses the limitation in field-of-view (FOV) in conventional two-dimensional (2D) US imaging by providing 3D viewing of the anatomy. 3D US imaging has been extensively adapted for diagnosis and image-guided surgical intervention. However, conventional approaches to implement 3D US imaging require either
