Article Abstract

In a 72-year-old woman with no associated personal or family history of breast and/or ovarian cancers, we identified a novel somatic pathogenic variant (, p.Lys6Asnfs*4) using next-generation sequencing (NGS). The variant allele frequency (VAF) was 16%, and Sanger sequencing was unable to identify this variant. Adopting a high-resolution melting analysis strategy coupled with NGS, we successfully highlighted the presence of the allele.

Upon glucose stimulation, metabolic pathways of pancreatic beta-cells promptly adapt metabolite levels inducing insulin secretion fine-tuned by mitochondrial glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH). Although well described in vitro, these responses cannot yet be captured in vivo due to the intrinsic nature of the islets scattered throughout the pancreas. Tested first in vitro, glutamate precursor glutamine enhanced glucose-stimulated insulin secretion without eliciting oxidative catabolism, as opposed to glucose.

Sri Lankan cinnamon, widely known as true cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum), is a world-renowned commodity. With the high market demand, many incidents have reported adulteration of true cinnamon with other cinnamon species such as Cinnamomum aromaticum, Cinnamomum burmanni, and Cinnamomum loureiroi. Moreover, the contamination of cinnamon products with fungi (Aspergillus flavus) has also significantly negatively impacted the cinnamon export market.

Efficiently compressing HD/UHD content has long been challenging due to high bitrate costs. Instance-adaptive enhancement methods try to tackle this issue by compressing a video at reduced resolution and enhancing it using a neural model specifically overfitted for this video. However, existing methods focus solely on spatial super-resolution (SR) and under-utilize the videos' temporal redundancy.

Lithium (Li) is the most frequently recommended first-line treatment in bipolar disorder (BD). Nevertheless, response to Li is highly variable between individuals and no clinical or biological biomarkers have been consistently associated to long-term response. We previously identified 3 differentially methylated regions (DMRs) that discriminated good from non-responders to Li.
