Retinopathy of prematurity: Addressing the emerging burden in developing countries
Journal of Family Medicine and Primary Care, 2020 Retinopathy of prematurity has emerged and continues to be one of the leading causes of avoidable childhood blindness in low- and middle-income countries over the past few years. A major reason is the lack of adoption of effective and efficient screening

Liver organoids: modelling complexity in homeostasis and disease
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Studying liver in vitro has been challenging because simple 2D cell cultures fail to capture liver's cellular and architectural complexity. To bridge this gap, scientists increasingly use organoids, 3D liver models which better mimic liver composition and function. This review examines recent advances in liver organoid complexity and realism, discusses

Pediatric Clinics of North America, 1992 Retinopathy of prematurity is a common disorder among extremely low-birthweight preterm infants and may cause total vision loss in as many as 2% to 4% of those weighing less than 2 pounds at birth. Regular examinations begun in the neonatal intensive care unit permit early detection and treatment of progressive ROP and allow a reduction in visual ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.How do genomes gain new functional parts? In eukaryotes, which tend to evolve under weak selection, much of the genome is junk. Palazzo and Qiu borrow the logic of Markov chains to show how non‐functional DNA becomes functional through the appearance of intermediate states, which arise due to epistasis, buffering, and biochemical messiness, allowing ...

A data-driven health index for neonatal morbidities
iScience, 2022 Summary: Whereas prematurity is a major cause of neonatal mortality, morbidity, and lifelong impairment, the degree of prematurity is usually defined by the gestational age (GA) at delivery rather than by neonatal morbidity.

A context‐dependent modulatory role for eIF6 in acquired resistance to vemurafenib in melanoma
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Acquired resistance to vemurafenib upregulates the translation factor eIF6 in melanoma cells. Silencing eIF6 in resistant cells reduces proliferation and partially restores drug sensitivity, whereas its overexpression increases sensitivity across melanoma lines regardless of BRAF status, via modulation of mTOR, S6K, and MAPK signaling.
