Cardiovascular Development and the Colonizing Cardiac Neural Crest Lineage by Paige Snider, Michael Olaopa, Anthony B. Firulli, Simon J. Conway

“…However, several studies have suggested these colonizing neural crest cells may also play additional unexpected roles during cardiovascular development and may even contribute to a crest-derived stem cell population. Studies in both mice and chick suggest they can also enter the heart from the venous inflow as well as the usual arterial outflow region, and may contribute to the adult semilunar and atrioventricular valves as well as part of the cardiac conduction system. …”

Poor outcome despite modern treatments: A retrospective study of 99 patients with primary and secondary plasma cell leukemia by Camille Tessier, Richard LeBlanc, Jean Roy, Sabrina Trudel, Julie Côté, Marc Lalancette, Jean‐Samuel Boudreault, Émilie Lemieux‐Blanchard, Rayan Kaedbey, Michel Pavic

“…Finally, our data suggested that sPCL originates from a high‐risk multiple myeloma (MM) population with a short OS (median 30.2 months), early relapse after stem cell transplant (median 11.9 months) and a high proportion of patients with multiple cytogenetic abnormalities (36% with ≥2 abnormalities). …”

A novel strategy for the protective effect of ginsenoside Rg1 against ovarian reserve decline by the PINK1 pathway by Pengdi Yang, Meiling Fan, Ying Chen, Dan Yang, Lu Zhai, Baoyu Fu, Lili Zhang, Yanping Wang, Rui Ma, Liwei Sun

“…Protein expression levels in the PINK1/Parkin pathway were assessed, and molecular docking and PINK1 mutant analyses were conducted to identify potential targets.Results Ginsenoside Rg1 significantly mitigated ovarian reserve decline, enhancing offspring quantity and quality, increasing the levels of ecdysteroids, preventing ovarian atrophy, and elevating germline stem cell numbers in aged Drosophila. Ginsenoside Rg1 improved superoxide dismutase, catalase activity, and gene expression while reducing reactive oxygen species levels. …”
