Article Abstract

Microtubules are essential components of eukaryotic cells. Myriad proteins associate with microtubules to facilitate the organization and operation of microtubule arrays. Various M icrotubule A ssociated P roteins (MAPs) assist the assembly and function of mitotic spindles and interphase arrays. Nine MAP65 genes exist in the genome of the acentrosomal model plant, and the function of majority of these proteins is unclear. To address this knowledge gap, we demonstrate the localization of MAP65-6 and MAP65-7 fusion proteins expressed from native promoters in interphase cells of developing seedlings. Analyses of these fusion proteins co-expressed with alpha-tubulin 6 reporters indicate that MAP65-6 and MAP65-7 bind a subset of interphase microtubules. Co-expression of GFP: MAP65-6 with mCherry: MAP65-2 from native promoters in showed overlapping localization patterns on interphase microtubule bundles. Collectively, these data suggested that MAP65-2 , -6, and -7 bind cortical microtubule bundles in plant interphase microtubule arrays.

The diagnosis of adrenocortical tumors remains clinically challenging due to overlapping morphological and functional features between benign, malignant, and hormonally active lesions. Malignant and functional tumors are frequently associated with poor prognosis. Traditional morphological imaging methods, such as CT and MRI, cannot reliably distinguish lesion types.

Introduction: Wave speed (WS) mapping, enabled by omnipolar technology, allows for real-time visualization of local conduction velocity (CV). Its utility in ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation has not been fully characterized.

Methods And Results: We describe a case series of patients undergoing VT ablation in which WS mapping was applied alongside established techniques such as peak frequency (PF) mapping and isochronal late activation mapping (ILAM).

Autism is a neurodevelopmental condition associated with altered resting-state brain function. An increased excitation-inhibition ratio is discussed as a pathomechanism but in-vivo evidence of disturbed neurotransmission underlying functional alterations remains scarce. We compare local resting-state brain activity and neurotransmitter co-localizations between autism (N = 405, N = 395) and neurotypical controls (N = 473, N = 474) in two independent cohorts and correlate them with excitation-inhibition changes induced by glutamatergic (ketamine) and GABAergic (midazolam) medication.

Fungal endophytes and epiphytes associated with plant leaves can play important ecological roles through the production of specialized metabolites encoded by biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs). However, their functional capacity, especially in crops like lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.), remains poorly understood.

Introduction: Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a rare mesenchymal neoplasm that most commonly originates in the pleura but can also occur at extrapleural sites, including the abdominal cavity. Among these, primary SFT of the stomach is exceptionally rare. Due to overlapping clinical, endoscopic, and radiologic characteristics, distinguishing SFT from gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) can be particularly challenging.
