Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) carry out a wide range of functions in cells, such as detoxification of endogenous compounds, removal of reactive oxygen species, and even catalysis of reactions in metabolic pathways beyond detoxification. Based on previous research, GSTM1 and GSTT1 might modify the risk of atherosclerosis. The aim of our study was to analyze the possible association of GSTM1 and GSTT1 gene polymorphisms with the occurrence of carotid plaque and biochemical parameters of oxidative stress, lipid profile and inflammation in patients with advanced atherosclerosis.

The role of escape from the cytotoxic T cell (CTL) response in SARS-CoV-2 evolution remains controversial. Here, we study the origin and spread of SARS-CoV-2 variants whose mutations reduce presentation by the HLA class I alleles common in human populations. We find that 35% of mutations that are characteristic of the variants of concern, and ...

Abstract
Significance. The epidemiological, clinical, and socioeconomic effects of healthcare digitalization are actively discussed in the scientific literature. Less attention has been paid to changes in the organization of healthcare resulting from the introduction of digital technologies. These changes have not been the subject of specific research. However, digital technologies is becoming a driver for the ...

Recurrent Pericarditis (RP) is a significant medical issue despite advancements in modern cardiology. The management of patients with this condition is associated with several challenges due to the variety of clinical manifestations, difficulties in differential diagnosis, lack of standardized treatment protocols, and a high likelihood of recurrences. Furthermore, there is insufficient data in the literature ...

Targeted protein degradation represents a promising therapeutic strategy, yet its broader application is often limited by the scarcity of usable E3 ligases. Glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) is a key target for inducing ferroptosis, but achieving sustained and potent inhibition remains challenging with conventional enzymatic inhibitors. Herein, we report the first small‐molecule GPX4 degraders that incorporate ...

Accurate classification of a patient with pulmonary hypertension (PH) into one of five groups is fundamental for appropriate disease management strategies. The time from disease onset to correct diagnosis is unacceptably long in many cases. Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) develops as a consequence of venous thromboemboli, resulting in a more pronounced hereditary predisposition to ...

Центромеры обеспечивают расхождение хромосом, однако организацию их хроматина в пределах повторяющейся альфа-сателлитной ДНК долгое время было трудно изучать. Для решения этой задачи мы создали гаплотип-разрешённые аннотации сателлитной ДНК для полной диплоидной сборки генома человека T2T-HG002. Затем с помощью метода направленного метилирования с секвенированием длинных прочтений (DiMeLo-seq) мы картировали центромерный белок A (CENP-A), модификацию H3K9me3 и ...

The common marmoset is a New World monkey widely used to study primate evolution and human disease. We present a telomere-to-telomere (T2T) reference assembly for the species, plus three near-T2T haplotypes. These resolve previously inaccessible regions, including the centromeres, sex chromosomes, subterminal satellites, acrocentric chromosomes, and the major histocompatibility complex (MHC). We find marmoset centromeres ...

Preeclampsia (PE) is a severe obstetric complication caused by chronic placental ischaemia. Genome-wide profiling of microRNA isoforms in two trophoblast hypoxia models (CoCl2 and the oxyquinoline derivative neuradapt, BeWo b30 cells) and clinical PE samples (placental tissue, syncytiotrophoblast vesicles) revealed concordant downregulation of hsa-miR-143-3p isoforms. Under a strict fold-change threshold, the canonical isoform (21 nt) ...

Introduction:
Understanding how we perceive and interpret the movements of other living beings is fundamental to social interaction, survival, and navigating our dynamic environment. Traditional studies of biological motion perception have predominantly employed simplified stimuli, such as point-light displays, which sacrifice ecological validity for experimental control.
Methods:
To overcome this limitation, we created a novel stimulus set featuring ...

Clarity of knowledge and reasoning is necessary in many cases. Yet vagueness in scientific thinking related to surprise, curiosity, "ability to engage with not-knowing" (de Freitas) and abductive reasoning is also a crucially important source of scientific creativity which supplements combinatorial logic when dealing with the already known. Starting from studies by C. S. Peirce ...

Background: Neuroblastoma (NB), a transcriptionally driven pediatric malignancy, exhibits a remarkable clinical and biological heterogeneity. Two major subtypes, adrenergic and mesenchymal, are differentially governed by distinct subsets of transcription factors that constitute the core regulatory circuitry (CRC). The adrenergic subtype is often associated with MYCN amplification and is particularly aggressive and therapy-resistant, underscoring the need ...
