Premise Of The Study: Microsatellite markers can be used to evaluate population structure and genetic diversity in native populations of Indigofera pseudotinctoria (Fabaceae) and assess genetic disturbance caused by nonnative plants of the same species.
Methods And Results: We developed 14 markers for I. pseudotinctoria using next-generation sequencing and applied them to test two native populations, totaling 77 individuals, and a transplanted population, imported from a foreign country, of 17 individuals. The mean number of alleles was 3.310, observed heterozygosity was 0.242, and expected heterozygosity was 0.346. The fixation index in the transplanted population was 0.469, which was higher than in the native populations (0.154 and 0.158). In addition, the transplanted population contains one allele that is not shared by the native population.
Conclusions: Microsatellite markers can be useful for evaluating genetic diversity within and between populations and for studying population genetics in I. pseudotinctoria and related species.

Historically, the thick-shelled river mussel ( agg. complex) was considered a single, widespread species across Europe. However, recent phylogenetic taxonomic revisions have delineated 12 species from this complex, including (s.

Huntington's disease (HD) is a progressive, autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder characterized by motor dysfunction, cognitive decline, and psychiatric disturbances. It is caused by CAG repeat expansions in the HTT gene, resulting in the formation of mutant huntingtin protein that aggregates and disrupts neuronal function. This review outlines the pathogenesis of HD, including genetic, molecular, and environmental factors.

Microsatellite-stable (MSS) rectal adenocarcinoma remains a therapeutic challenge, particularly in patients with complicating factors such as chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Advances in immunotherapy, including immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), have introduced new opportunities to improve the treatment outcomes in this subset, yet their application in HBV-positive cancer patients is less well understood. Here we report the case of a 46-year-old female with MSS locally advanced rectal adenocarcinoma and active HBV infection, successfully treated with cmFOLFOXIRI combined with camrelizumab as neoadjuvant therapy.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have transformed cancer treatment by leveraging the immune system's capacity to fight gynecologic cancer. This review summarizes the current status and future perspectives of ICIs in the treatment of cervical, endometrial, and ovarian cancers and rare tumors. ICIs have demonstrated significant efficacy in tumors with high tumor mutational burden and immune markers such as PD-L1 expression and microsatellite instability.

Artificial gynogenesis is an essential technique for aquaculture breeding. Fertile offspring of the WuLi carp ( var. Quanzhounensis, 2 = 100, WLC) were successfully produced via gynogenesis using ultraviolet-irradiated sperm from the blunt snout bream (, 2 = 48, BSB).
