Manifestation of agronomically valuable traits in the progeny of a sorghum mutant carrying the genetic construct for RNA silencing of the γ-kafirin gene by L. A. Elkonin, N. V. Borisenko, T. E. Pylaev, O. A. Kenzhegulov, S. Kh. Sarsenova, N. Yu. Selivanov, V. M. Panin

“…One of the reasons for the low nutritional value of sorghum grain is the resistance of its storage proteins (kafirins) to proteolytic digestion, which is due, among other things, to the structural organization of protein bodies, in which γ-kafirin, the most resistant to proteases, is located on the periphery, encapsulating more easily digested α-kafirins. …”

“…Two-sample Mendelian randomization methods were applied, and the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) database was leveraged to analyze the trends and burden of neonatal diseases from 1990 to 2021 and to forecast the burden for 2022–2052.Results: Significant causal associations were identified between PM2.5, PM10 and specific congenital malformations, including gallbladder, bile duct, liver anomalies, and malformations of the reproductive organs and broad ligaments. A review of GBD data indicates a decline in the prevalence of neonatal DALYs and YLDs attributed to ambient particulate matter over the past three decades. …”

Case report: an unusual long-term evolution of a diffuse midline glioma, H3K27 altered by Michael Griessmair, Michael Griessmair, Claire Delbridge, Claus Zimmer, Eva Mayr, Arthur Wagner, Julian Canisius, Marie-Christin Metz, Benedikt Wiestler, Benedikt Wiestler

“…Molecular neuropathology revealed the diagnosis of diffuse midline glioma with a H3K27M mutation WHO (World Health Organization) CNS (central nervous system) grade 4. Interestingly, MR imaging conducted for migraine diagnosis 6 years ago in retrospect already showed a small, nodular T2w hyperintense lesion in the right thalamus.ConclusionDespite a more precise, molecularly driven classification of pediatric HGG (high-grade glioma) in the 5th edition of the WHO classification of CNS tumors, many genetic factors influencing the biological tumor development as well as the precise molecular evolution of tumors remain unclear. …”
