APPLE BREEDING PROGRAMS AND METHODS: THEIR DEVELOPMENT AND IMPROVEMENT by E. N. Sedov

“…A perfect cultivar is impossible, because cultivar requirements change faster than the time required for breeding, but we should aspire to it.As a result of long-term breeding for the improvement of fruit biochemical composition, we managed to raise cultivars with high contents of P-active substances (up to 400–600 mg/100 g), but cultivars with the desirable content of ascorbic acid 25–30 mg/100 g have not been developed so far.A number of apple cultivars resistant to scab (bearing the Vf gene) have been developed in Russia. …”

Characterization of G2/M checkpoint classifier for personalized treatment in uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma by Yiming Liu, Yusi Wang, Shu Tan, Xiaochen Shi, Jinglin Wen, Dejia Chen, Yue Zhao, Wenjing Pan, Zhaoyang Jia, Chunru Lu, Ge Lou

“…The results showed that two G2MC subtypes have completely different G2/M checkpoint-related gene expression profiles. Compared with the subtype C2, the subtype C1 exhibited higher G2MC scores and was associated with faster disease progression, higher clinical staging, poorer pathological types, and lower therapy responsiveness of cisplatin, radiotherapy and immunotherapy. …”

Influence of Titanium Alloy Scaffolds on Enzymatic Defense against Oxidative Stress and Bone Marrow Cell Differentiation by Lais Morandini Rodrigues, Elis Andrade Lima Zutin, Elisa Mattias Sartori, Daniela Baccelli Silveira Mendonça, Gustavo Mendonça, Yasmin Rodarte Carvalho, Luana Marotta Reis de Vasconcellos

“…At day 14, all scaffolds had more than 2-fold induction for Runx2 mRNA levels, with statistically significant differences compared to the control group. Even though we were not able to confirm statistically significant differences to justify the replacement of TiAlV regarding antioxidant enzymes, TiNbZrTa was able to induce faster bone formation at early time points, making it a good choice for biomedical and tissue bioengineering applications.…”
