Identification of Compound Heterozygous CYP11A1 Variants via Reanalysis of Clinical Sequencing Data
ABSTRACT A molecular diagnosis is currently achievable in approximately 50% of patients assessed by clinical geneticists at tertiary care centres. Next‐Generation Sequencing Panels contain a defined group of genes associated with a clinically defined set of phenotypes.

Folate receptor alpha (FRα) expression in tubo‐ovarian and endometrial tumors: a study of 923 cases
Abstract Folate receptor alpha (FRα) is a promising therapeutic target due to its high expression in several tumor types and its rare expression in healthy tissue. Recently, the antibody‐drug conjugate mirvetuximab soravtansine has been approved for treatment of advanced platinum‐resistant high‐grade serous carcinoma (HGSC).

In middle age, testicular CMKLR1⁺ macrophages exhibited a pro‐inflammatory immunometabolic profile, mediated by adipose signals associated with high BMI. However, inhibition of CMKLR1 signaling, either through Cmklr1 genetic ablation or treatment with a CMKLR1 antagonist peptide, can reverse this phenotype.

An Investigation of Hyperostosis Frontalis Interna in a Modern Anatomical Body Donor Population
ABSTRACT This research sought to examine the prevalence and severity of hyperostosis frontalis interna (HFI) in the Chicagoland anatomical body donor population. The study further aimed to elucidate potential demographic risk factors for HFI, including sex, age at death, and structural vulnerability index (SVI), as well as any common comorbidities, as ...

Stimulation of TM3 Leydig cell proliferation via GABA receptors: A new role for testicular GABA [PDF]
The neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and subtypes of GABA receptors were recently identified in adult testes. Since adult Leydig cells possess both the GABA biosynthetic enzyme glutamate decarboxylase (GAD), as well as GABAA and GABAB ...
