Article Abstract

We report a case of multiple lineage switches (rare events mostly occurring in infants) in a 10-year-old female with KMT2A::AFF1-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Although she underwent standard chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, the leukemic clone continuously switched on acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or ALL and maintained immunoglobulin/T-cell receptor rearrangements in addition to showing a high therapy-escaping grade. As other genes are involved in this event, and after considering the selective pressure imposed by the applied treatment, characterizing the cell-of-origin that is capable of proliferating toward both lineages while attempting to design targeted therapies is mandatory.

Understanding the diversity of microscopic hyphomycetes is an ongoing effort, and many species remain undescribed. While studying lichen organismal composition in western Canada, metagenomic data revealed the presence of an unknown species of (, Ascomycota), a genus of pollen-parasitic fungus with no previous records in the region. We developed genus-specific primers to amplify DNA in lichen and adjacent substrate extractions, successfully detecting multiple lineages of across a wide geographic range within North America.

Amplicon sequencing is a popular method for understanding the diversity of bacterial communities in samples containing multiple organisms as exemplified by 16S rRNA sequencing. Another application of amplicon sequencing includes multiplexing both primer sets and samples, allowing sequencing of multiple targets in multiple samples in the same sequencing run. Multiple tools exist to process the amplicon sequencing data produced via the short-read Illumina platform, but there are fewer options for long-read Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) sequencing, or for processing data from environmental surveillance or other sources with many different organisms.

Long-term evolutionary persistence of a cryptic color polymorphism in frogs.

Color polymorphism can influence the evolutionary fate of cryptic species because it increases populations' chances of survival in heterogenous or variable environments. Yet, little is known about the molecular and evolutionary mechanisms underlying the persistence of cryptic color polymorphisms, or the impact these polymorphisms have on the macroevolutionary dynamics of lineages. Here, we examine the evolutionary history of the most widespread cryptic color polymorphism in anurans, involving green and brown morphs.

Background: Mixed-phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL) is a rare acute leukemia for which data are currently not available to guide therapy. It has a poor outcome, particularly in elderly patients.

Case Presentation: We report the successful use of venetoclax/azacitidine as treatment for a treatment-naive elderly patient with early T-cell precursor (ETP)/myeloid MPAL.

Antiviral efficacy of silicon nitride against SARS-CoV-2 and MERS-CoV: implications for PPE innovation.

Medical interventions, such as masks, were a cornerstone in mitigating the spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Since 2019, the scientific community has increasingly focused on exploring avenues for pandemic prevention and preparedness to enhance responses to future viral outbreaks. One such area of interest explores the use of additives, such as silicon nitride (Si₃N₄), in masks to enhance the antiviral properties of personal protective equipment.
