Vaspin identified as a DNA‐binding serpin with functional consequences for protease inhibition
Vaspin is a serpin that is expressed in skin, adipose tissue, and liver. It binds to single‐ and double‐stranded DNA with high affinity. This binding is unaffected by mutation of the known heparin‐binding site, accelerates the inhibition of the inflammatory protease KLK7, and may contribute to vaspin's nuclear localization.

Cystine (Cys2) deprivation in pancreatic cancer cells induces oxidative stress that destabilizes cytosolic iron–sulfur cluster (ISC) proteins, triggering an iron‐regulatory protein (IRP)‐mediated iron‐starvation response (ISR). This leads to increased iron uptake (via TFRC), an expanded labile iron pool, and ferroptosis.

Unexplained Elevated Vitamin B12: Consider Macro‐B12
ABSTRACT Introduction Elevated vitamin B12 concentration can be caused by supplementation, liver disease, kidney disease, or myeloid malignancies. Persistent, unexplained elevations of vitamin B12 can raise concern among patients and may lead to invasive diagnostic procedures, including bone marrow biopsy.

Deep and disseminated dermatophytosis in immunocompromised populations—A systematic review
Dermatophyte infections of the dermis and subcutaneous tissue (i.e. deep dermatophytosis)—associated with secondary complications including pseudomycetoma and systemic dissemination—affect vulnerable populations with primary or acquired immunodeficiencies.

Research Direction and Science Evaluation: The Role of Coherence and Alignment
ABSTRACT The decisions of funding agencies greatly influence the direction of scientific research; however, our understanding of how applicants' research directions affect the selection process remains limited. In this study, we investigate how a project's coherence with a scientist's previous work and its alignment with current scientific trends ...
