Premise: (Asteraceae) is endemic to East Asia, where its rhizomes are used in traditional medicine. To investigate the genetic diversity of this species, we developed polymorphic microsatellite markers.
Methods And Results: We obtained a total of 175,825 simple sequence repeat (SSR) loci using the Illumina HiSeq 2500 system. Eighteen polymorphic SSR primer pairs were selected to determine heterozygosity levels and allele numbers in 80 individuals from four populations. The levels of observed and expected heterozygosity ranged from 0.000 to 1.000 and from 0.133 to 0.892, respectively. Cross-amplification in the related species and was successful in 15 and 14 of the 18 markers, respectively.
Conclusions: These microsatellite markers will be useful for future studies involving population genetics and breeding.

Nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with SMARCA4 deficiency represents a rare subset of lung tumors characterized by early metastasis, poor response to chemotherapy, and unfavorable prognosis. Established therapy strategies for SMARCA4-deficient NSCLC remain elusive. While immune checkpoint inhibitors have been proposed as a potential solution, their efficacy remains uncertain.

The first complete plastid genome of the critically endangered species Valeriana trinervis was sequenced, assembled and compared with other published Valeriana plastomes. In this study, we assembled the plastid genome of the critically endangered, endemic species Valeriana trinervis (= Centranthus trinervis) and compare it with all published plastomes of Valeriana. We found not only differences in the inverted repeats boundaries, in the type and abundance of repeats, but also similarities in codon usage and microsatellite numbers.

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.
