The dominance of Genetically Modified (GM) crops in global agriculture is underscored by the production quantities of GM Maize and GM soybean. This review discusses the global statistics of GM crops mentioning the area of cultivation, production, and adoption rates of GM crops in detail. It relates the comprehensive overview of perception toward GM technology varying across regions, with the younger generation often displaying a preferable outlook. It highlights the environmental benefits of GM crops, explaining the decreased pesticide usage with potential health benefits, and hinting at an indirect decline in cancer occurrences. An overview of advancements in genetic tools have significantly evolved genome editing techniques in agriculture. The use of such tools in the field of agriculture shows promising effects in maintaining sustainable development goals. This review demonstrates that genetic techniques are a responsible and effective tool for generating GM crops to promote sustainable agriculture.

Background: Cardiac laminopathies, associated with mutations in the LMNA gene, are a rare inherited disorder characterized by a broad range of clinical manifestations. There are currently no data on the association between supraventricular re-entrant tachycardias and LMNA-related cardiomyopathy.
Case Summary: A 26-year-old male presented with either wide-QRS tachycardia with a left bundle branch block (LBBB) pattern or narrow QRS tachycardia, as well as a history of palpitations since age 15.

Background And Aim: Indonesia's indigenous Kacang goat population is in decline, posing a threat to food security and genetic diversity. maturation and cryopreservation techniques are key strategies for genetic conservation. However, heat shock stress during cryopreservation can compromise oocyte viability.

Parkinson's disease (PD) represents a progressive neurodegenerative disorder with escalating global burden, with mechanistic studies revealing α-synuclein propagation through gut-brain axis, mitochondrial defects, and neuroinflammatory cascades driven by genetic-environmental interplay. Recent advancements in diagnostic paradigms have successfully combined α-synuclein seed amplification assays with multimodal neuroimaging techniques, achieving an impressive diagnostic accuracy of 92% during the prodromal stages of disease. Phase II trials highlight disease-modifying potential of α-synuclein-targeting immunotherapies (40% reduction in motor decline) and LRRK2 kinase inhibitors showing blood-brain barrier penetration.
