The interpretation of code status concept among pediatric health care workers, a multicenter cross sectional study across Lebanon by Raymonda Chahrour, Amani Bannout, Marianne Majdalani, Rana Yamout, Ali Ismail, Elma Abou Raffoul, Jihane Moukhaiber

“…Four Resuscitation-limiting Codes other than Full Code exist. In a conservative country like Lebanon, several factors can influence such decisions, namely the ethical, legal, religious perspectives, pediatric population, and more importantly the lack of protocol, healthcare workers (HCWs) knowledge, understanding and readiness to discuss terminal care with the parents. …”

Schwann cell reprogramming via EMT-like program following peripheral nerve injury and during nerve regeneration by Wenyu Dai, Yang Miao, Sheng Yi

“…EMT is regulated by multiple signaling pathways, including transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), Wnt, and Notch signaling, and is finely orchestrated by a network of transcriptional factors, epigenetic modifications (such as DNA methylation and histone alterations), and non-coding RNAs. In the peripheral nervous system, Schwann cells undergo a distinct EMT-like transformation following nerve injury, adopting a repair phenotype known as repair Schwann cells. …”

A trans-activator-like structure in RCNMV RNA1 evokes the origin of the trans-activator in RNA2. by Laura R Newburn, K Andrew White

“…However, by examining results from RCNMV genome analyses in the ViRAD virus (re-)annotation database, a putative functional RNA element in the polymerase-coding region of RNA1 was identified. Structural and functional analyses revealed that the novel RNA element adopts a TA-like structure (TALS) and, similar to the requirement of the TA for RNA2 replication, the TALS is necessary for the replication of RNA1. …”

Multi-omics analysis of methylmalonic acidemia caused by a non-coding region variant in MMAA gene combined with uniparental disomy by HUO Xiaoyan, LUO Xiaomei, YE Xiantao, SUN Yu, YU Yongguo, LIANG Lili, FAN Yanjie

“…This was further confirmed by reverse transcription real time quantitative PCR, indicating nearly absent mRNA expression, suggesting that the non-coding splice-site variant affected transcriptional expression.Conclusion·A homozygous splice-site variant (c.-66+2T>C) in the non-coding region of the MMAA gene—outside the coverage of WES—is likely the pathogenic cause in this case, presumably resulting from maternal UPD of chromosome 4.…”
