Concurrence of Plasmodium falciparum dhfr and crt mutations in northern Ghana
BackgroundBoth chloroquine (CQ) and sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) are failing drugs in much of sub-Saharan Africa. Previous findings suggest an association between resistance to CQ and to SP in vivo, in vitro, and on the molecular level.MethodsIn 126 ...

Bacteriocinogenic Staphylococcus epidermidis ST0409KOC was isolated from cheese and characterized as bacteriocin‐producing with strong activity versus Listeria monocytogenes and other pathogens. S. epidermidis ST0409KOC can be considered a safe strain regarding its virulence genetic background, presenting only a single virulence gene of IS257 among the

RAE-1 ligands for the NKG2D receptor are regulated by E2F transcription factors, which control cell cycle entry. [PDF]
The NKG2D stimulatory receptor expressed by natural killer cells and T cell subsets recognizes cell surface ligands that are induced on transformed and infected cells and facilitate immune rejection of tumor cells.

Polydopamine‐Based Antioxidant Countermeasures Against Spaceflight‐Induced Neurodegeneration
Polydopamine nanoparticles (PDNPs) protect neuron‐like cells from microgravity‐ and cosmic radiation‐induced oxidative stress. Through in‐flight and ground‐based experiments, it has been shown that PDNPs preserve neuronal and mitochondrial function, markedly mitigating transcriptional dysregulation caused by spaceflight.

Soluble oligomerization provides a beneficial fitness effect on destabilizing mutations. [PDF]
Protein stability is widely recognized as a major evolutionary constraint. However, the relation between mutation-induced perturbations of protein stability and biological fitness has remained elusive.

Summary Phyllotaxis is the arrangement of lateral organs on a stem axis, which in Arabidopsis follows a spiral pattern. We previously described that loss of three PLETHORA (PLT) transcription factors shifts the phyllotactic spiral to novel metastable patterns, but the mechanism behind these shifts remained unclear.

Neural tube defects (NTDs) are among the most common congenital malformations. However, the underlying etiology and mechanism remain elusive. Here, the role of DNA double‐strand breaks (DSBs) in 3D genome organization within the NTDs with folate deficiency is reported.

Protein sectors: statistical coupling analysis versus conservation
Statistical coupling analysis (SCA) is a method for analyzing multiple sequence alignments that was used to identify groups of coevolving residues termed "sectors".

Drug interactions may be important risk factors for methotrexate neurotoxicity, particularly in pediatric leukemia patients [PDF]
Purpose: Methotrexate administration is associated with frequent adverse neurological events during treatment for childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
