Article Abstract
Optical and electron microscopy have made tremendous inroads toward understanding the complexity of the brain. However, optical microscopy offers insufficient resolution to reveal subcellular details, and electron microscopy lacks the throughput and molecular contrast to visualize specific molecular constituents over millimeter-scale or larger dimensions. We combined expansion microscopy and lattice light-sheet microscopy to image the nanoscale spatial relationships between proteins across the thickness of the mouse cortex or the entire brain. These included synaptic proteins at dendritic spines, myelination along axons, and presynaptic densities at dopaminergic neurons in every fly brain region. The technology should enable statistically rich, large-scale studies of neural development, sexual dimorphism, degree of stereotypy, and structural correlations to behavior or neural activity, all with molecular contrast.

Exploring allosteric properties of mammalian ALOX15: octyl (-(4-(benzofuran-2-yl)-2-methoxyphenyl)sulfamoyl)- and octyl (-(4-(1-indol-2-yl)-2-methoxyphenyl)sulfamoyl)carbamates as ALOX inhibitors.

Mammalian ALOX15 are allosteric enzymes but the mechanism of allosteric regulation remains a matter of discussion. Octyl (-(5-(1-indol-2-yl)-2-methoxyphenyl)sulfamoyl)carbamate inhibits the linoleate oxygenase activity of ALOX15 at nanomolar concentrations, but oxygenation of arachidonic acid is hardly affected. The mechanism of substrate selective inhibition suggests inter-monomer communication within the allosteric ALOX15 dimer complex, in which the inhibitor binding to monomer A induces conformational alterations in the structure of the active site of monomer B.

In this contribution, Molecular Electron Density Theory (MEDT) is employed to investigate the (3 + 2) cycloaddition reaction between ()--methyl--(2-furyl)-nitrone 1 and but-2-ynedioic acid 2. DFT calculations at the M06-2X-D3/6-311+G(d,p) level of theory under solvent-free conditions at room temperature show that this reaction proceeds CA3-Z diastereoselectivity, with the formation of the CA3-Z cycloadduct being both thermodynamically and kinetically more favoured than the CA4-Z one. Reactivity parameters obtained from CDFT calculations reveal that compound 1 predominantly behaves as a nucleophile with moderate electrophilic features, in contrast to compound 2, which demonstrates strong electrophilicity and limited nucleophilic ability.

Introduction Breast cancer (BC) is the most common malignancy among women worldwide and the leading cause of cancer-related mortality in women in Morocco. However, there is limited evidence on survival outcomes and treatment patterns among elderly patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) in this setting. Methods We conducted a retrospective cohort study at the Department of Medical Oncology, Hassan II University Hospital in Fez.

Background: The causal relationship between migraines and patent foramen ovale (PFO) remains controversial, and a major unresolved question is how to define migraines attributable to PFO. Thus, this study aimed to determine if brain lesions could be a potential indicator of PFO-related migraines.
Methods: Consecutive migraine patients from 2017 to 2019 who underwent transthoracic echocardiography or transcranial Doppler examination with an agitated saline contrast injection were assessed for right-to-left shunts.

Introduction: Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) is a standard first-line treatment for stage IV NSCLC without actionable oncogenic alterations. mutations, prevalent in 30% to 40% lung adenocarcinomas (LUAD) in Western populations, currently lack targeted first-line therapies. This study aimed to assess the predictive value of mutations for clinical outcomes after distinct ICB regimens, validating our previous findings in a larger cohort with extended follow-up.
