Morphofunctional characteristics of leaves and fruits in Maloideae (Rosaceae): a. Microstructure of surface tissues by T. Kh. Kumachova, A. S. Voronkov, A. V. Babosha, A. S. Ryabchenko

“…The epidermis, which emerged as a device for protecting deeper underlying tissues from drying, subsequently acquired additional functions (participation in gas exchange and transpiration, absorption and isolation of certain substances as well as protection from the penetration of pathogens) and became a multifunctional tissue consisting of several types of cells (basic, stomatal, and trichomes). Features of the fine structure of the epidermis are of interest in representatives of the subfamily Maloideae Werber (Rosaceae Juss.), which grow, inter alia in mountain agrobiocenoses with their rather harsh conditions. …”

A Case of Exacerbation of Chronic Pancreatitis Against the Background of COVID-19 Complicated by Pancreaticopleural Fistula with Enzymatic Pleurisy by I. I. Kotov, I. Yu. Kalinina, A. R. Propp, D. A. Sulim

“…The causative agent of COVID-19 has a high affinity for angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 receptors, which are present in large numbers on acinar, ductal, and secretory cells of the pancreas. Obviously, this infection can influence the course of the inflammatory process in chronic pancreatitis.This clinical observation presents a rare case of exacerbation of chronic pancreatitis with the formation of a pancreaticopleural fistula with subtotal enzymatic pleurisy on the left, which was preceded by pneumonia caused by SARS-CoV-2 in a 47-year-old man who abused alcohol. …”

SNORA37/CMTR1/ELAVL1 feedback loop drives gastric cancer progression via facilitating CD44 alternative splicing by Banghe Bao, Minxiu Tian, Xiaojing Wang, Chunhui Yang, Jiaying Qu, Shunchen Zhou, Yang Cheng, Qiangsong Tong, Liduan Zheng

“…Gain- and loss-of-function studies indicated that SNORA37 promoted the growth, invasion, and metastasis of gastric cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, as an ELAV like RNA binding protein 1 (ELAVL1)-generated snoRNA, SNORA37 directly bound to cap methyltransferase 1 (CMTR1) to facilitate its interaction with ELAVL1, resulting in nuclear retention and activity of ELAVL1 in regulating alternative splicing of CD44. …”
