Integration of torque teno mini virus (TTMV) generating the TTMV::RARA fusion represents a newly recognized subtype of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) that merits detailed investigation. We present the first comprehensive characterization of its epidemiologic profile, clinical presentation, virologic characteristics, and underlying molecular mechanisms. Our findings indicate that TTMV::RARA is more prevalent in pediatric patients and represents the second most common retinoic acid receptor fusion after PML::RARA.

We report an ultrasensitive atomic spin sensor employing double spin resonance, achieving a spin signal enhancement of 2600 and a sensitivity of 0.57  fT/sqrt[Hz] under nonzero magnetic field measurements. Furthermore, we establish an in situ alkali-noble-gas spin sensor by tracing the measured spin precession frequency to the nuclear spins gyromagnetic ratio constant with high accuracy.

Torque Teno Mini Virus (TTMV), a member of the Anelloviridae family, is a commensal component of the human virome. Since the initial identification of the TTMV::RARA fusion gene as a novel driver of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), 15 cases have been reported in retrospective studies. With advancements in diagnostic methods and increased awareness, the number of newly diagnosed cases has risen, and the clinical and molecular characteristics of TTMV::RARA-APL are becoming clearer.

Recent advances in tabletop quantum sensor technology have enabled searches for nongravitational interactions of dark matter (DM). Traditional axion DM experiments rely on sharp resonance, resulting in extensive scanning time to cover a wide mass range. In this work, we present a broadband approach in an alkali- 21Ne spin system.

Article Synopsis
  • - Atypical acute promyelocytic leukemia (aAPL) showcases a variety of complex retinoic acid receptor (RAR) fusion genes, including 31 rare RARA and RARG fusions, which differ from the well-known PML::RARA fusion.
  • - Some experimental bipartite X::RAR fusions show positive responses to all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA), unlike patients with ATRA resistance, prompting a deeper investigation into molecular mechanisms.
  • - The study identified novel tripartite fusion forms and significant differences in 3' splice patterns between RARA and RARG cases, suggesting transposable element involvement and highlighting the critical role of truncations in the ligand-binding domain that contribute to A

is a recently reported fusion gene associated with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), caused by the integration of torque teno mini virus (TTMV) genomic fragments into the second intron of the gene. Currently, there have been only six documented cases, with clinical presentations showing significant variability. Although initial responses to all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) treatment may be observed in patients with ::-APL, the overall prognosis remains unfavorable among infrequent reported cases.

Two recent guidelines, the 5th edition of the World Health Organization Classification of Haematolymphoid Tumours (WHO-HAEM5) and the International Consensus Classification (ICC), were published to refine the diagnostic criteria of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). They both consider genomic features more extensively and expand molecularly defined AML subtypes. In this study, we compared the classifications of 1135 AML cases under both criteria.

Despite encouraging advances in early diagnosis and treatment, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remained a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Increasing evidence has shown that the electromagnetic field (EMF) influences many biological processes, which has attracted much attention for its potential therapeutic and diagnostic modalities in multiple diseases, such as musculoskeletal disorders and neurodegenerative diseases. Nonionizing EMF has been studied as a therapeutic or diagnostic tool in CVDs.

Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is a unique subtype of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) which is characterized by specific clinical and biological features. Typical APL cases are caused by PML::RARA fusion gene and are exquisitely sensitive to all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) and arsenic trioxide (ATO). Rarely, APLs are caused by atypical fusions involving RARA or, in fewer cases still, fusions involving other members of the retinoic acid receptors (RARB or RARG).

Achieving high energy resolution in spin systems is important for fundamental physics research and precision measurements, with alkali-noble-gas comagnetometers being among the best available sensors. We found a new relaxation mechanism in such devices, the gradient of the Fermi-contact-interaction field that dominates the relaxation of hyperpolarized nuclear spins. We report on precise control over spin distribution, demonstrating a tenfold increase of nuclear spin hyperpolarization and transverse coherence time with optimal hybrid optical pumping.

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between anomalous DNA nucleotidylexotransferase (DNTT) activation and the mutagenesis of gene length mutations (LMs) in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and the relevance of their prognosis in antithymocyte globulin (ATG)-based regimen allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). A cohort of 578 AML cases was enrolled. Next-generation sequencing was performed to screen mutations of 86 leukemia driver genes.

Experimental searches for exotic spin-dependent forces are attracting a lot of attention because they allow to test theoretical extensions to the standard model. Here, we report an experimental search for possible exotic spin-dependent force, specifically spin-and-velocity-dependent forces, by using a K-Rb-Ne co-magnetometer and a tungsten ring featuring a high nucleon density. Taking advantage of the high sensitivity of the co-magnetometer, the pseudomagnetic field from this exotic force is measured to be ≤7 aT.

A single-beam spin-exchange relaxation-free atomic magnetometer is ultra-sensitive in the zero field, which has great potential for the detection of a magnetoencephalogram. The addition of a modulated magnetic field is an important approach to achieve high sensitivity for devices of this kind. In this study, we discovered that the amplitude and frequency of the modulated magnetic field (modulation index 0-3) both influence the light absorption.

Intra-arterial selective cooling infusion (IA-SCI) is a promising method for neuroprotection of patients with acute ischemic stroke. One shortcoming of IA-SCI is the elevated delivery temperature caused by the cold perfusate warming along the catheter pathway. Therefore, increasing the thermal resistance of the catheter is of significant importance.

We investigate the effects of pump laser power density on the hybrid optically pumped comagnetometer operated in the spin-exchange relaxation-free (SERF) regime. The analytic steady-state output model for the comagnetometer considering two alkali metal species and one nuclear species is presented for the first time. And the effects of pump laser power density on the rotation sensitivity, suppression of low-frequency magnetic noise and long-term stability of the comagnetometer are studied experimentally.
