- Using a data sample of 448 x 10(6) psi(3686) events collected with the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII storage ring, the decays psi(3686) -> gamma eta and psi(3686) -> gamma pi(0) are observed with a statistical significance of 7.3 sigma and 6.7 sigma, respectively. The branching fractions are measured to be B(psi(3686) -> gamma eta) = (0.85 +/- 0.18 +/- 0.05) x 10(-6) and B(psi(3686) ->gamma pi(0)) = (0.95 +/- 0.16 +/- 0.05) x 10(-6). In addition, we measure the branching fraction of psi(3686) -> gamma eta' to be B(psi(3686) -> gamma eta') = (125.1 +/- 2.2 +/- 6.2)x10(-6), which represents an improvement of precision over previous results.

- Using a data sample collected with the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII storage ring at a center-of-mass energy of root s = 4.600 GeV, we search for the production of e(+)e(-) -> phi chi(c0,1,2). A search is also performed for the charmonium-like state X(4140) in the radiative transition e(+)e(-) -> gamma X(4140) with X(4140) subsequently decaying into phi J/psi The processes e(+)e(-) -> phi chi(c1) and phi chi(c2) are observed for the first time, each with a statistical significance of more than 10 sigma, and the Born cross sections are measured to be (4.2(-1.0)(+1.7) +/- 0.3) and (6.7(-1.7)(+3.4) +/- 0.5) pb, respectively, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second systematic. No significant signals are observed for e(+)e(-) -> phi chi(c0) and e(+)e(-) -> gamma X(4140) and upper limits on the Born cross sections at 90% C. L. are provided at root s = 4.600 GeV.

- In this study, two iPP resins with similar molecular weight and average isotacticity but different uniformities of stereo-defect distribution were used in the production of cast films. The crystalline morphology and orientation, and tensile behavior during room temperature stretching of the cast films were investigated by scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), 2D-wide angle X-ray diffraction (2D-WAXD) and 2D-small-angle X-ray scattering (2D-SAXS). It was found that under fixed processing condition, iPP with more uniform stereo-defect distribution (PP2) favors the formation of row nucleated lamellar structure during cast film production, and therefore exhibiting hard-elastic deformation behavior during stretching; meanwhile, the sample with less uniform stereo-defect distribution (PP1) shows un-oriented spherulitical morphology in the cast film, and typical plastic deformation behavior during stretching. The crystallization and rheological analysis on the iPP raw materials revealed that, the uniformity of stereo-defect distribution determines the ability of nucleation and crystallization, and further influences the response of the crystalline morphology to the elongation effect of cast film production process, which is of great importance in the structure-property design in the production of iPP membranes.

- The global diversity of fungi has been estimated using several different approaches. There is somewhere between 2–11 million estimated species, but the number of formally described taxa is around 150,000, a tiny fraction of the total. In this paper, we examine 12 ascomycete genera as case studies to establish trends in fungal species descriptions, and introduce new species in each genus. To highlight the importance of traditional morpho-molecular methods in publishing new species, we introduce novel taxa in 12 genera that are considered to have low species discovery. We discuss whether the species are likely to be rare or due to a lack of extensive sampling and classification. The genera are Apiospora, Bambusicola, Beltrania, Capronia, Distoseptispora, Endocalyx, Neocatenulostroma, Neodeightonia, Paraconiothyrium, Peroneutypa, Phaeoacremonium and Vanakripa. We discuss host-specificity in selected genera and compare the number of species epithets in each genus with the number of ITS (barcode) sequences deposited in GenBank and UNITE. We furthermore discuss the relationship between the divergence times of these genera with those of their hosts. We hypothesize whether there might be more species in these genera and discuss hosts and habitats that should be investigated for novel species discovery.

- 1:2 Cocrystals of piperazine (PPN) with o- and p-nitrophenol (oNPH and pNPH) were obtained from aqueous solution. The co-crystal structure of PPN, 2pNPH, and 2H(2)O is triclinic space group P (1) over bar: a = 6.401(1) Angstrom, b = 6.7515(1) Angstrom, c = 11.219(1) Angstrom, alpha = 100.37(1)degrees, beta = 97.10(1)degrees, gamma = 99.99(1)degrees,V= 465.5(1) Angstrom(3), Z = 2. Refinement led to a final conventional R value of 0.0365 for 2081 reflections. PPN, 2oNPH, and 2H(2)O cocrystallize in the monoclinic space group P2(1) : a = 7.753(1) Angstrom, b = 10.888(2) Angstrom, c = 11.378(2) Angstrom, beta = 92.89(1)degrees, V = 953.1(3) Angstrom(3), Z = 2. Refinement led to a final conventional R value of 0.0347 for 1978 reflections. It was found in both cocrystals that the hydroxyl H-atom of pNPH and oNPH was transferred to a N-atom of PPN, forming new ionic complexes PPNH22+.2(oNP(-)) and PPNH22+.2(pNP(-)), respectively.

Rewired m6A epitranscriptomic networks link mutant p53 to neoplastic transformation

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- N6-methyladenosine (m6A), one of the most prevalent mRNA modifications in eukaryotes, plays a critical role in modulating both biological and pathological processes. However, it is unknown whether mutant p53 neomorphic oncogenic functions exploit dysregulation of m6A epitranscriptomic networks. Here, we investigate Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS)-associated neoplastic transformation driven by mutant p53 in iPSC-derived astrocytes, the cell-of-origin of gliomas. We find that mutant p53 but not wild-type (WT) p53 physically interacts with SVIL to recruit the H3K4me3 methyltransferase MLL1 to activate the expression of m6A reader YTHDF2, culminating in an oncogenic phenotype. Aberrant YTHDF2 upregulation markedly hampers expression of multiple m6A-marked tumor-suppressing transcripts, including CDKN2B and SPOCK2, and induces oncogenic reprogramming. Mutant p53 neoplastic behaviors are significantly impaired by genetic depletion of YTHDF2 or by pharmacological inhibition using MLL1 complex inhibitors. Our study reveals how mutant p53 hijacks epigenetic and epitranscriptomic machinery to initiate gliomagenesis and suggests potential treatment strategies for LFS gliomas.

- Hearing loss is a common disease due to sensory loss caused by the diseases in the inner ear. The development of delivery systems for inner ear disease therapy is important to achieve high efficiency and reduce side effects. Currently, traditional drug delivery systems exhibit the potential to be used for inner ear disease therapy, but there are still some drawbacks. As nanotechnology is developing these years, one of the solutions is to develop nanoparticle-based delivery systems for inner ear disease therapy. Various nanoparticles, such as soft material and inorganic-based nanoparticles, have been designed, tested, and showed controlled delivery of drugs, improved targeting property to specific cells, and reduced systemic side effects. In this review, we summarized recent progress in nanocarriers for inner ear disease therapy. This review provides useful information on developing promising nanocarriers for the efficient treatment of inner ear diseases and for further clinical applications for inner ear disease therapy.

- Hypertrophic scar (HS) is characterized by an abnormal fibroblast-myofibroblast transformation; non-apoptosis of fibroblasts; and redundant expression of TGF-beta 1, VEGF, alpha-SMA, and collagen I/III. An HS affects patients' physical and psychological quality of life, leading to joint dysfunction and skin cancer. However, there is currently no satisfactory drug to treat this disorder. In this study, we constructed methylprednisolone sodium succinate (MPSS) encapsulated ZIF-90 (MPSS@ZIF-90) for the effective treatment of an HS. The encapsulation of MPSS in ZIF-90 can achieve the controllable drug release of MPSS and prolong its effective treatment time. MPSS@ZIF-90 enhanced the apoptosis of human hypertrophic scar fibroblasts and downregulated the overexpression of TGF-beta 1, VEGF, alpha-SMA, and collagen I/III both in vitro and in vivo. The instant injection of MPSS@ZIF-90 effectively intervened with the formation of the HS after 28 days. On the contrary, MPSS@ZIF-90 greatly reduced the HS with two injections and 14 days of treatment after the HS was formed. This work provides evidence of effective intervention in the formation of an HS and the therapeutic effectiveness of MPSS@ZIF-90 with short treatment periods in vivo. It suggests that MPSS@ZIF-90 can be used as a biomedical option in the treatment of skin wounds and may reveal the potential molecular basis for promising future antifibrotic agents against scarring.
