Unraveling novel variants in the NF1 gene and investigating potential therapeutic strategies by Jianmei Huang, Ke Yang, Yaoping Wang, Xinrui Ma, Wenke Yang, Xiaodong Huo, Jie Bai, Hongjie Zhu, Jinming Wang, Yibing Lv, Shixiu Liao

“…A retrospective analysis of 49 clinical trials over the past 20 years revealed that NF1 therapies predominantly target neurofibromin’s GTPase function. Gene therapies aiming to restore neurofibromin by transducing the truncated NF1-GRD gene have been developed but faced pre-clinical challenges, including cloning capacity, transduction efficiency, and immunogenicity caused by gene delivery. …”

Alleviative Effect of Exogenous Application of Fulvic Acid on Nitrate Stress in Spinach (<i>Spinacia oleracea</i> L.) by Kangning Han, Jing Zhang, Cheng Wang, Youlin Chang, Zeyu Zhang, Jianming Xie

“…FA application promoted the accumulation of biomass in spinach under nitrate stress and increased chlorophyll content, the net photosynthetic rate, the maximum photochemical quantum yield of PSII (Photosystem II) (Fv/Fm), the quantum efficiency of PSII photochemistry [Y(II)], the electron transport rate, and the overall functional activity index of the electron transport chain between the PSII and PSI systems (PItotal); moreover, FA decreased PSII excitation pressure (1 − qP), quantum yields of regulated energy dissipation of PSII [Y(NPQ)], and the relative variable initial slope of fluorescence. …”

Multiple mechanisms contribute to leakiness of a frameshift mutation in canine cone-rod dystrophy. by Keiko Miyadera, Ian Brierley, Jesús Aguirre-Hernández, Cathryn S Mellersh, David R Sargan

“…This is rapid and blinding in a colony of dogs in which the mutation was characterised but in dogs with the same mutation in the pet population there is very variable disease severity and rate of progression.<h4>Objective</h4>We hypothesized that this variability must be associated with leakiness of the RPGRIP1 mutation, allowing continued RPGRIP1 production. …”
