The Batten disease gene Cln3 is required for the activation of intestinal stem cell during regeneration via JAK/STAT signaling in Drosophila by Zihua Yu, Zihua Yu, Jinhua Yan, Zhiming Liu, Haiyan Wang, Guanzheng Luo, Haiyang Chen

“…Cell type-specific Gal4 screening reveals that the failure of ISC activation during regeneration caused by Cln3 loss is ISC-autonomous. Through genetic analyses, we elucidate that JAK/STAT signaling in ISCs is not activated with Cln3 depletion upon tissue damage, and functions downstream of Cln3. …”

Anti-N-Methyl-D-Aspartate Encephalitis as Paraneoplastic Manifestation of Germ-Cells Tumours: A Cases Report and Literature Review by Claudia Geraldine Rita, Israel Nieto Gañan, Adriano Jimenez Escrig, Ángela Carrasco Sayalero

“…There is a wide spectrum of clinical features starting by a viral-like prodrome, followed by symptoms such as psychosis, aggressive behaviour, memory loss, seizures, movement disorders, and autonomic instability. Up to 50% of the affected young female patients have germ-cells tumours as ovarian teratoma, making it essential to establish an early diagnosis through detection of specific antibodies in serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). …”

Tamactún-Acalán: interpretación de una hegemonía política maya de los siglos xiv-xvi by Andrés Ciudad Ruiz, Alfonso Lacadena García-Gallo

“…Recently, new interpretations have posited the development of hegemonic states retaining many structural features of the preceding formations, but also exhibiting a territorial organization fastering the subordination of several autonomous territories under a same authority. This essay applies this last interpretation to the understanding of the political-territorial structure of the Mactun of Tamactún-Acalán in the 14th-16th centuries A.D., and tests its validity for other regions of the Maya Lowlands, from the beginning of the Classic period to the arrival of the Spaniards, highlighting the parallelisms with other political systems found in Mesoamerica at the time immediately preceding the Conquest.…”
