Article Abstract

Short tandem repeat (STR) analysis to assess chimerism is a critical aspect of routine care particularly in patients facing stem cell transplants but is also relevant in other clinical scenarios. STR analysis provides a means to assess donor and recipient cellular origins in a patient, and, as such, can inform engraftment, rejection, and relapse status in stem cell transplant recipients. In this review of STR testing, the most commonly used method to assess chimerism, its background, procedural details, and clinical utility are discussed.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are transformative platforms for heterogeneous catalysis, but distinguishing atomically dispersed metal sites from subnanometric clusters remains a major challenge. This often demands the integration of multiple characterization techniques, many of which either lack the resolving power to distinguish active sites from their surrounding environments (e.g.

Sensitivity assessment of 300 Cercospora beticola isolates collected from North Greece revealed that 38 % of the population was highly resistant to at least one of the demethylase inhibitors (DMIs) difenoconazole, epoxiconazole and flutriafol. Resistance factors greater than 50, 100 and 100 were calculated for the most resistant C. beticola isolates to flutriafol, epoxiconazole and difenoconazole, respectively.

Chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) is the most prevalent urological condition in men under 50, characterized by persistent or recurrent pelvic and perineal pain, and significantly reduced quality of life. Reliable biomarkers for assessment and mechanistic understanding of pain remain limited. This retrospective case-control study consisting of 90 CP/CPPS patients (median age 29.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) and multiple sclerosis (MS), while affecting metabolic and neurological systems respectively, share convergent immunometabolic pathways. This review synthesizes recent evidence elucidating overlapping mechanisms linking DM and MS, emphasizing metabolic dysfunction and systemic inflammation, with therapeutic potential of lifestyle interventions alongside pharmacotherapy. A comprehensive literature analysis examined shared pathogenesis through recent studies.

Bent-core nematic liquid crystals exhibit unique properties, including giant flexoelectricity and polar electro-optic responses, making them ideal for energy conversion and electro-optic applications. When confined in nanopores, they can stabilize chiral nanostructures, enhance polar order, and enable defect-driven switching - offering potential in nanofluidics, sensing, and adaptive optics. The thermotropic ordering of the bent-core dimer CB7CB confined in anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) and silica membranes with precisely engineered cylindrical nanochannels - ranging from just a few nanometers to several hundred nanometers-is examined.
