Article Abstract

While Klinefelter Syndrome (KS) has a prevalence of 85-250 per 100,000 born males, patients are typically underdiagnosed due to a subtle phenotype emerging only late during puberty or adulthood. Rare cases of KS carry a mosaic phenotype 47-XXY/46-XY associated to mild phenotypic traits mostly compatible with a normal life including preserved fertility. From a genetic modeling perspective, the derivation of naturally isogenic iPSCs from mosaic patients allows the comparison of disease and healthy cells carrying a virtually identical genomic background.

The stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a difficulty in urology and current sub-urethral sling treatments are associated with inflamation and recurrence. In this study, we developed a novel tissue-engineered sling with myogenic induced adiposederived stem cells (MI-ADSCs) sheets induced by 5-Aza and combined with electrospun scaffolds of silk fibroin and poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (SF/PLGA) for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence. MI-ADSCs increased α-SMA, MyoD and Desmin the mRNA and protein expression.

Introduction: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) microvascular complications are a major public health issue that disproportionately affects racial/ethnic minorities in the US. We aimed to address the limited understanding of racial/ethnic disparities in the longitudinal natural history of microvascular complications over eight years among older adults with T2DM in the US and Canada.

Methods: From 10,251 participants in the Action to Control Cardiovascular Risk in Diabetes (ACCORD) (2003-2009) trial, we derived 6323 participants.

Integrins constitute a large and diverse family of cell adhesion molecules that play essential roles in regulating tumor cell differentiation, migration, proliferation, and neovascularization. Tumor cell-derived exosomes, a subtype of extracellular vesicles, are enriched with integrins that reflect their cells of origin. These exosomal integrins can promote extracellular matrix remodeling, immune suppression, and vascular remodeling and are closely linked to tumor progression and metastasis, acting as pivotal players in mediating organ-specific metastasis.

CETN3 deficiency induces microcephaly by disrupting neural stem/progenitor cell fate through impaired centrosome assembly and RNA splicing.

Primary microcephaly, a rare congenital condition characterized by reduced brain size, occurs due to impaired neurogenesis during brain development. Through whole-exome sequencing, we identified compound heterozygous loss-of-function mutations in CENTRIN 3 (CETN3) in a 5-year-old patient with primary microcephaly. As CETN3 has not been previously linked to microcephaly, we investigated its potential function in neurodevelopment in human pluripotent stem cell-derived cerebral organoids.

Gut-derived metabolites are essential for liver fibrogenesis. The aim of this study was to determine the alteration of indole-3-propionic acid (IPA), a crucial tryptophan metabolite, in liver fibrosis and delineate the roles of enterogenic IPA in fibrogenesis. In the present study, metabolomics assays focused on tryptophan metabolism were applied to explore the decreased levels of IPA in the feces and serum of cirrhotic patients, as well as in the feces and portal vein serum of fibrotic mice.
