Biased receptor signalling and intracellular trafficking profiles of structurally distinct formylpeptide receptor 2 agonists.

Background: There is increasing interest in developing FPR2 agonists (compound 43, ACT-389949 and BMS-986235) as potential pro-resolving therapeutics, with ACT-389949 and BMS-986235 having entered phase I clinical development. FPR2 activation leads to diverse downstream outputs. ACT-389949 was observed to cause rapid tachyphylaxis, while BMS-986235 and compound 43 induced cardioprotective effects in preclinical models.

Wnt signaling couples G2 phase control with differentiation during hematopoiesis in Drosophila.

During homeostasis, a critical balance is maintained between myeloid-like progenitors and their differentiated progeny, which function to mitigate stress and innate immune challenges. The molecular mechanisms that help achieve this balance are not fully understood. Using genetic dissection in Drosophila, we show that a Wnt6/EGFR-signaling network simultaneously controls progenitor growth, proliferation, and differentiation.

A CRLF2 Rearrangement in a Pediatric Patient with B-ALL Detected by FISH Within the Context of a Complex Abnormal Karyotype.

B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) is one of the prevalent pediatric leukemias, accounting for 26% of cancers diagnosed in children 0-14 years of age. We present a case report of an 11-year-old girl with B-ALL. The patient was in complete remission nine months after diagnosis but passed away a month later from chemotherapy-induced hepatic failure, renal failure, and febrile neutropenia.

A Patient with Myxoid/Round Cell Liposarcoma (MRCL) Involving the Well-known Translocation t(12;22): A Case Report with the Cytogenomic Landscape of this Rearrangement.

Myxoid/Round Cell Liposarcoma (MRCL) is characterized as a soft tissue sarcoma that is associated with unusual patterns of metastasis to extrapulmonary sites, such as bones and other soft tissue sites. Here, we present a case of a 48-year-old male patient, diagnosed with MRCL. The patient presented with a grade 1 myxoid liposarcoma in his left leg.

c-MYC Amplification in AML.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a clonal disorder of myeloid lineage precursors. Identification of cytogenetic aberrations is essential for classification and risk stratification of AML, with many demonstrating unique associations with various clinicopathologic features. One such abnormality is MYC amplification, a rare occurrence identified in less than 1% of AML patients.

COVID-19 hospital admissions and deaths after BNT162b2 and ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccinations in 2·57 million people in Scotland (EAVE II): a prospective cohort study.

Background: The UK COVID-19 vaccination programme has prioritised vaccination of those at the highest risk of COVID-19 mortality and hospitalisation. The programme was rolled out in Scotland during winter 2020-21, when SARS-CoV-2 infection rates were at their highest since the pandemic started, despite social distancing measures being in place. We aimed to estimate the frequency of COVID-19 hospitalisation or death in people who received at least one vaccine dose and characterise these individuals.
