Haploinsufficiency of the lysosomal sialidase NEU1 results in a model of pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcoma in mice

Eda R. Machado, Diantha van de Vlekkert, Heather S. Sheppard, Scott Perry, Susanna M. Downing, Jonathan Laxton, Richard Ashmun, David B. Finkelstein, Geoffrey A. Neale, Huimin Hu, Frank C. Harwood, Selene C. Koo, Gerard C. Grosveld, Alessandra D'Azzo

Summary: A mouse model of pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcoma, driven by haploinsufficiency of neuraminidase 1, provides a useful tool for diagnostic and therapeutic studies. The model displays features of embryonal and alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma and is characterized by increased lysosomal exocytosis and the presence of partially differentiated cells. These findings, along with the identification of an adipogenic signature, make this model ideal for further research.

The evolution of neurosensation provides opportunities and constraints for phenotypic plasticity

Emily Y. Chen, Diane K. Adams

Summary: This study traces the evolution of pre-feeding phenotypic plasticity in regular sea urchins using molecular mechanisms. It finds that the neurosensory foundation for plasticity is ancestral within echinoids, but the coincident development of the plastic trait and neurosensory system occurs in regular urchins. The study also reveals that plasticity continues to evolve in urchins, often associated with losses of sensory abilities and neurons.

Unlocking phenotypic plasticity provides novel insights for immunity and personalized therapy in lung adenocarcinoma

Feng Wang, Hongjuan Du, Bibo Li, Zhibin Luo, Lei Zhu

Summary: Unlocking phenotype plasticity (UPP) plays an essential role in the mechanism of tumor development and therapeutic response in patients with lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). This study explored the clinical significance of UPP in immune status, prognosis, and treatment. The analysis of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and clinical information revealed a correlation between UPP-related genes and protein polysaccharides and drug resistance. Prognostic results showed that the survival of patients in the high-risk group was poorer. Furthermore, UPP was found to affect immunity in LUAD, as evidenced by differences in immune cell content and function.

Structure of the ATP synthase from Mycobacterium smegmatis provides targets for treating tuberculosis

Martin G. Montgomery, Jessica Petri, Tobias E. Spikes, John E. Walker

Summary: The structure of ATP synthase from Mycobacterium smegmatis has been determined by electron cryomicroscopy, revealing previously unrecognized features that are crucial for understanding the mechanism and regulation of the enzyme. The study identified new substates in the catalytic cycle, mechanisms of auto-inhibition of ATP hydrolysis, and modes of attachment of alpha-subunits, providing potential targets for innovative antitubercular drugs. The structure also supports the observation that the transmembrane proton-motive force is delivered directly to the rotor via a Grotthuss water chain in a polar L-shaped tunnel.

A trend graph attention network for traffic prediction

Chu Wang, Ran Tian, Jia Hu, Zhongyu Ma

Summary: Traffic prediction is crucial for urban computing. Existing approaches fail to model the spatial and temporal heterogeneity in traffic data at a fine-grained level, resulting in biased prediction results. To address this, we propose a Trend Graph Attention Network (TGAN) that captures spatial and temporal dependencies for accurate traffic prediction.

ETS1 loss in mice impairs cardiac outflow tract septation via a cell migration defect autonomous to the neural crest

Lizhu Lin, Antonella Pinto, Lu Wang, Kazumi Fukatsu, Yan Yin, Simon D. Bamforth, Marianne E. Bronner, Sylvia M. Evans, Shuyi Nie, Robert H. Anderson, Alexey Terskikh, Paul D. Grossfeld

Summary: Deletion of Ets1 gene leads to decreased migration of neural crest cells in mice, resulting in malalignment of cushions relative to the muscular ventricular septum similar to DORV defects in humans. Studies show that Ets1 gene disruption reduces migration speed and impairs cell-to-cell interactions in cardiac neural crest cells.

Percutaneous heart valves demonstrating long-term durability: A case series of Melody valves in the pulmonary position lasting up to 19 years

Simon T. T. MacDonald, Amit Bhan, Sachin Khambadkone, Michael Mullen

Summary: The duration of catheter delivered percutaneous heart valves is uncertain, especially in congenital cardiology where repeated surgeries are common. The longevity of percutaneous pulmonary valves compared to surgical ones has been unclear. However, three cases have shown that percutaneous pulmonary valves can last up to 19 years without significant issues, indicating their potential to prevent high-risk surgeries in congenital cardiac patients.

A revised terminology for the pharyngeal arches and the arch arteries

Anthony Graham, Jill P. J. M. Hikspoors, Robert H. Anderson, Wouter H. Lamers, Simon D. Bamforth

Summary: The pharyngeal arches, bulges on the head of vertebrate embryos, have been traditionally labelled as 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6, with no fifth arch. Recent studies have shown that this labelling is problematic and causes confusion in understanding pharyngeal arch development. To address this, a new terminology is proposed, labelling the arches as mandibular, hyoid, carotid, aortic, and pulmonary.

The advantages of naming rather than numbering the arteries of the pharyngeal arches

Robert H. Anderson, Anthony Graham, Jill P. J. M. Hikspoors, Wouter H. Lamers, Simon D. Bamforth

Summary: There are ongoing controversies regarding the number of pharyngeal arches and their contained arteries in developing humans. Resolving these controversies is crucial for pediatric cardiologists as abnormalities in the extrapericardial arterial pathways are often interpreted based on the persistence of a fifth set of arteries. However, the evidence supporting this interpretation is questionable. In this review, the authors present the history of six such arteries, emphasizing that initial accounts of human development only provided evidence for the existence of five sets. They summarize the current evidence that supports these initial findings and suggest alternative explanations for lesions based on collateral channels or remodeling of the aortic sac.
