The characteristic of lethality as an indicator of combinad infections by V. V. Nechaev, A. K. Ivanov, I. P. Fedunyak, V. B. Musatov, M. N. Pogromskaja, A. B. Bubochkin, L. N. Pozhidaeva, A. A. Sacra

“…The system and algorithm of proofs about the reasons of lethal outcomes of SI have to be based on representative selections. For this purpose it is necessary to carry out registration of HIV infection not only in the AIDS centers, but also regional in the form of the uniform register SI (HIV+TB+HIC or HIB) for the purpose of complex impact on epidemic process.…”

Integrative taxonomy of new xenophyophores (Rhizaria, Foraminifera) from the abyssal northwest Pacific by Andrew J. Gooday, Yoshiyuki Ishitani, Chong Chen, Maria Holzmann, Julien Richirt, Koji Seike, Momo Yamashita, Masashi Tsuchiya, Hidetaka Nomaki

“…In typical specimens from 30° N, the plates are large, curved or sinuous, relatively thin, and marked by a distinct surface pattern of concentric zones, traversed by closely spaced, radial ridges that correspond to internal partitions. A form from 32.5° N is shown to be conspecific with the 30° N specimens based on molecular evidence but is morphologically more complex, comprising elongate bar- and plate-like elements, some with fan-like terminations. …”

Chasing non-existent “microRNAs” in cancer by Ayla Orang, Nicholas I. Warnock, Melodie Migault, B. Kate Dredge, Andrew G. Bert, Julie M. Bracken, Philip A. Gregory, Katherine A. Pillman, Gregory J. Goodall, Cameron P. Bracken

“…However, controversy has emerged regarding how many functional miRNAs are encoded in the genome, and to what extent non-regulatory products of RNA degradation have been mis-identified as miRNAs. Central to miRNA function is their capacity to associate with an Argonaute (AGO) protein and form an RNA-Induced Silencing Complex (RISC), which mediates target mRNA suppression. …”

Advancing Glioblastoma Research with Innovative Brain Organoid-Based Models by Cátia D. Correia, Sofia M. Calado, Alexandra Matos, Filipa Esteves, Ana Luísa De Sousa-Coelho, Marco A. Campinho, Mónica T. Fernandes

“…Despite significant progress in understanding its molecular and cellular mechanisms, GBM remains one of the most challenging cancers to treat due to its high heterogeneity and complex tumor microenvironment. To address these obstacles, researchers have employed a range of models, including in vitro cell cultures and in vivo animal models, but these often fail to replicate the complexity of GBM. …”
