Construction of a Dual-Fluorescence Reporter System to Monitor the Dynamic Progression of Pluripotent Cell Differentiation by Wu-Sheng Sun, Ju-Lan Chun, Jeong-Tae Do, Dong-Hwan Kim, Jin-Seop Ahn, Min-Kyu Kim, In-Sul Hwang, Dae-Jin Kwon, Seong-Soo Hwang, Jeong-Woong Lee

“…As a result, a higher red fluorescence was observed in F9 cells, while green fluorescence was primarily detected in P19 cells. This fluorescence expression pattern in the two cell lines was consistent with that in the early naïve pluripotent state and late primed pluripotent state during differentiation of mouse ESCs. …”

A RUNX1: RUNX1T1 AML with a simultaneous false positive KMT2A rearrangement: FISH interpretation pitfalls by Chi Zhang, Xingping Lang, Lingfeng Liu, Nan Chen, Huafei Chen, Xiaojun Chen, Yongyan Chen, Liqin Jin, Chengyin Liu, Huan Wang, Ailin Fu, Sheng Xiao

“…Given that KMT2A FISH probes cover approximately 1 Mb around KMT2A, this subtle shift led to a split-apart signal pattern mimicking a genuine KMT2A rearrangement, resulting in a false positive FISH interpretation.Conclusion This case highlights a false positive KMT2Ar in primary AML, indicating the need for additional molecular testing for confirmation.…”

The revival of the electrocardiogram in the stress imaging era: what European Society of Cardiology 2024 guidelines say (and don’t say) by Emma Cerracchio, Ettore Campagnano, Bruno Villari, Quirino Ciampi

“…An ECG continuously monitors the heart’s electrical signals, capturing data on heart rate, rhythm, and electrical conduction patterns. The value of the ECG in this context lies in its ability to detect ischemic changes, which occur when there is insufficient blood flow to the heart muscle due to narrowed or blocked coronary arteries, but also for coronary vasospasm or coronary microvascular disease. …”
