To accurately identify the genes and pathways involved in the initiation of the Myxococcus xanthus multicellular developmental program, we have previously reported a method of growing vegetative populations as biofilms within a controllable environment. Using a modified approach to remove up to ~90% rRNAs, we report a comprehensive transcriptional analysis of the M. xanthus developmental cycle while comparing it with the vegetative biofilms grown in rich and poor nutrients. This study identified 1522 differentially regulated genes distributed within eight clusters during development. It also provided a comprehensive overview of genes expressed during a nutrient-stress response, specific development time points, and during development initiation and regulation. We identified several differentially expressed genes involved in key central metabolic pathways suggesting their role in regulating myxobacterial development. Overall, this study will prove an important resource for myxobacterial researchers to delineate the regulatory and functional pathways responsible for development from those of the general nutrient stress response.To select candidate genes for goat prolificacy, we managed six multi- and six single-kid female goats at the same feeding level and in the same management mode over a 4-year period. These goats showed stable differences in litter size over five continuous parturition records. Whole-genome re-sequencing was used in all 12 to select candidate genes, namely, AURKA, ENDOG, SOX2, RORA, GJA10, RXFP2, CDC25C, and NANOS3, by the strength of their differentiation signals. Most of the selected genes were enriched in the coiled coil process and ovarian development, which suggests that the coiled coil process has a potential regulatory effect on fecundity. Detection of the distribution of variants and association analyses with litter size in 400 goats showed that NANOS3 exon mutations may lead to a transformation of the protein structure. The variation in CDC25C, ENDOG, and NANOS3 showed a significant association with litter size. These results can contribute to the improvement of reproduction traits in the artificial breeding of goats.Thymic involution is a sign of immunosenescence, but little is known about it in goose. miRNAs and lncRNAs are critical factors regulating organ growth and development. In this study, we comprehensively analyzed the profiles of lncRNAs, miRNAs and mRNAs during the development and involution of the thymus in Magang goose. The results showed that 2436 genes, 16 miRNAs and 417 lncRNAs were differentially co-expressed between the developmental (20-embryo age, 3-day post-hatch and 3-month age) and degenerative (6-month age) stages. The functional analysis showed that these differentially expressed genes were significantly enriched in cell proliferation, cell adhesion, apoptotic signaling pathway, and Notch signaling pathway. In addition, we established a gene-gene network through the STRING database and identified 50 key genes. Finally, we constructed a miRNA-mRNA network followed by a lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA network. IBMX nmr These results suggest that lncRNAs and miRNAs may be involved in the regulation of thymic development and involution in goose.Neutral/alkaline invertases (N/AINVs) are sucrose hydrolases with important roles in plants. In this study, 15, 15, 15, 29, and 30 N/AINVs were identified in the Gossypium species, G. raimondii, G. herbaceum, G. arboreum, G. hirsutum, and G. barbadense, respectively. Along with two previously discovered branches, α and β, a new clade γ was first discovered in our study. Investigation of gene collinearity showed that whole-genome duplication (WGD) and polyploidization were responsible for the expansion of the N/AINV gene family in allopolyploid Gossypium. Moreover, expression patterns revealed that GhN/AINV3/13/17/23/24/28 from the β clade is highly expressed during the period of fiber initiation. The invertase activity of GhN/AINV13 and GhN/AINV23 were confirmed by restoring defects of invertase-deficient yeast mutant SEY2102. Treatments of abiotic stress showed that most GhN/AINVs were induced in response to polyethylene glycol (PEG) or salt stress. A virus-induced gene-silencing (VIGS) experiment and yeast two-hybrid assay demonstrated that GhN/AINV13 may interact with their positive regulators Gh14-3-3 proteins and participate in the fiber initiation or stress tolerance of cotton. Our results provided fundamental information regarding N/AINVs and highlight their potential functions in cotton stress tolerance.

The Rosai Dorfman disease (RDD) is a rare and usually benign lymphoproliferative disorder of unknown aetiology, typically characterized by head and neck lymphadenopathies. However, it may occasionally present with primary extra-nodal involvement including the central nervous system. We firstly described the potential malignant behaviour and fatal evolution of primary intracranial RDD.

A 69-year-old woman sought clinical attention for recurrent episodes of headache, fever and malaise associated with bilateral proptosis and left lower limb paresis. The brain MRI revealed bilateral retro-bulbar and fronto-parieto-occipital subdural lesions. The body CT did not show extracranial lesions. A right fronto-parietal craniotomy was performed and a subtotal resection was achieved. The histopathological diagnosis was consistent with RDD. Despite the patient was commenced on high-dose corticosteroids, she developed a worsening respiratory distress syndrome and a rapid systemic disease progression with liver and kidney failure. Given the poor general status, adjuvant medical and radiation therapies were not deemed safe and feasible and the patient died of multi-organ failure a month later.

We documented an exceptional case of primary intracranial RDD with malignant behaviour characterized by rapid systemic disease progression and poor prognosis. Although RDD with intracranial location has usually a benign and self-limiting course with good response to adjuvant treatments, it hides a malignant potential that may lead patients to death.
