Current status of genome-wide epigenetic profiling of mammalian preimplantation embryos
CONCLUSIONS: These accumulating data may be used to improve the quality of preimplantation embryos, both in terms of their short-term developmental competence and their subsequent long-term health implications.PMID:37351110 | PMC:PMC10283350 | DOI:10.1002/rmb2.12521 (Source: Reproductive Biology)

Sensors, Vol. 23, Pages 5765: Metaheuristic for Optimal Dynamic K-Coloring Application on Band Sharing for Automotive Radars
lahaye The number of vehicles equipped with radars on the road has been increasing for years and is expected to reach 50% of cars by 2030. This rapid rise in radars will likely increase the risk of harmful interference, especially since radar specifications from standardization bodies (e.g., ETSI) provide requirements in terms of maximum transmit power but do no mandate specific radar waveform parameters nor channel access scheme policies. Techniques for interference mitigation are thus becoming very important to ensure the long-term correct operation of radars and upper-layer ADAS systems that depend on them in this c...

Genomes of the extinct Bachman's warbler show high divergence and no evidence of admixture with other extant Vermivora warblers
Curr Biol. 2023 Jun 9:S0960-9822(23)00690-5. doi: 10.1016/j.cub.2023.05.058. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBachman's warbler1 (Vermivora bachmanii)-last sighted in 1988-is one of the only North American passerines to recently go extinct.2,3,4 Given extensive ongoing hybridization of its two extant congeners-the blue-winged warbler (V. cyanoptera) and golden-winged warbler (V. chrysoptera)5,6,7,8-and shared patterns of plumage variation between Bachman's warbler and hybrids between those extant species, it has been suggested that Bachman's warbler might have also had a component of hybrid ancestry. Here, we use historic DNA...

Dysthyroid optic neuropathy: emerging treatment strategies
ConclusionOnly a limited number of studies have been dedicated to the therapy of DON, mostly retrospective with a small sample size. Clear criteria regarding diagnosis and resolution of DON do not exist, which restricts comparison of therapeutic outcomes. Randomized clinical trials and comparison studies with long-term follow-ups are necessary to verify the safety and efficacy of each therapeutic option for DON.

The implication of Alu cDNA in the pathogenesis of ARMD
Curr Aging Sci. 2023 May 30. doi: 10.2174/1874609816666230530095410. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAge-related macular degeneration (ARMD or AMD) is a progressive, sight-threatening disease. The pathogenesis of ARMD is complex, involving many factors, such as metabolic, functional, genetic, and environmental factors. Recently, long interspersed nuclear element-1 (L1)-mediated reverse transcription (RT) of Alu RNA into cytoplasmic Alu complementary DNA (cDNA) has been associated with retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) destruction. These findings provide a strong input for a new direction in the management of ARMD, as certain ...
