Article Abstract

The testicular stem cell niche is the central regulator of spermatogenesis in Drosophila melanogaster. However, the underlying regulatory mechanisms are unclear. This study demonstrated the crucial role of lethal (1) 10Bb [l(1)10Bb] in regulating the testicular stem cell niche. Dysfunction of l(1)10Bb in early-stage cyst cells led to male fertility disorders and compromised cyst stem cell maintenance. Moreover, the dysfunction of l(1)10Bb in early-stage cyst cells exerted non-autonomous effects on germline stem cell differentiation, independently of hub signals. Notably, our study highlights the rescue of testicular defects through ectopic expression of L(1)10Bb and the human homologous protein BUD31 homolog (BUD31). In addition, l(1)10Bb dysfunction in early-stage cyst cells downregulated the expression of spliceosome subunits in the Sm and the precursor RNA processing complexes. Collectively, our findings established l(1)10Bb as a pivotal factor in the modulation of Drosophila soma-germline communications within the testicular stem cell niche.

Unlabelled: Leptomeningeal metastasis (LM) is a severe complication of solid malignancies, including lung adenocarcinoma, characterized by poor prognosis and diagnostic challenges. This study assesses whether curvilinear peri-brainstem hyperintense signals on MRI are a characteristic feature of LM in lung adenocarcinoma patients.

Methods: This retrospective study analyzed data from multiple centers, encompassing lung adenocarcinoma patients with peri-brainstem curvilinear hyperintense signals on MRI between January 2016 and March 2022.

Adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors are widely used in gene therapy, particularly for liver-targeted treatments. However, predicting human-specific outcomes, such as transduction efficiency and hepatotoxicity, remains challenging. Reliable models are urgently needed to bridge the gap between preclinical studies and clinical applications.

Severe aplastic anemia (SAA) is a life-threatening bone marrow failure syndrome that is caused primarily by immune-mediated destruction of hematopoietic stem cells. Traditional treatment relies on immunosuppressive therapy (IST) with antithymocyte globulin (ATG) and cyclosporine (CSA). However, the toxicity and limited availability of ATG have spurred interest in ATG-free regimens.
