Hydatid Cyst Recurrence 24 Years After Thoracotomy: Multiple Daughter Vesicles Removed by VATS

Bezmiâlem Science
Hydatid disease usually affects the liver and lungs, while thoracic wall involvement is extremely rare. We present a case of a 27-year-old woman with a history of right thoracotomy for hydatid cyst excision at age 3, now presenting with right upper back ...

The KIF6‐RBP Complex Orchestrates mRNA Transport Required for Sperm Flagellar Assembly

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Two homozygous deleterious KIF6 variants are identified in unrelated men with impaired sperm motility. Mouse models and multi‐omics analyses reveal that KIF6 cooperates with the RNA‐binding proteins FMRP and FXR1 to deliver mRNAs essential for sperm flagellar assembly, linking disrupted mRNA transport to reduced abundance of key structural and ...

Single‐Cell and Spatial Transcriptomics Unveil Key Regulators Governing Cell Differentiation for Schistosoma japonicum Sexual Development

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Using single‐cell and spatial transcriptomics, we identified key regulators that govern cell differentiation involved in parasite development and egg laying in Schistosoma japonicum. This comprehensive study establishes a foundational resource for understanding schistosome biology, deciphers the regulatory programs underlying cell differentiation and ...

LRRC4 Orchestrates AP2A1‐Containing Clathrin‐Coated Vesicles to Disrupt Mitochondrial Cristae and Restrict Glioblastoma Progression

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
LRRC4 suppresses GBM by regulating AP2A1‐containing Golgi‐derived clathrin‐coated vesicles. Low LRRC4 allows cytoplasmic AP2A1 to maintain mitochondrial fission‐fusion, MICOS integrity, and OXPHOS, promoting proliferation and invasion. High LRRC4 redirects AP2A1‐containing Golgi‐derived clathrin‐coated vesicles to mitochondria, disrupts MICOS, enhances

VIDEOTORAKOSKOPSKA KIRURGIJA PRI OTROCIH

Slovenska pediatrija, 2020
Videotorakoskopska kirurgija (angl. video assisted thoracoscopic surgery, VATS) je minimalno invaziven način izvajanja posegov v prsnem košu. Na tak način danes opravljamo sko-raj vse posege, ki smo jih nekdaj izvajali “odprto”.
