Leaf shape is considered to be one of the most significant agronomic traits in crop breeding. However, the molecular basis underlying leaf morphogenesis in cotton is still largely unknown. In this study, through genetic mapping and molecular investigation using a natural cotton mutant cu with leaves curling upward, the causal gene GHCU is successfully identified as the key regulator of leaf flattening. Knockout of GHCU or its homolog in cotton and tobacco using CRISPR results in abnormal leaf shape. It is further discovered that GHCU facilitates the transport of the HD protein KNOTTED1-like (KNGH1) from the adaxial to the abaxial …

Inherited ichthyosis comprises a series of heterogeneous dermal conditions; it mainly manifests as widespread hyperkeratosis, xerosis and scaling of the skin. At times, overlapping symptoms require differential diagnosis between ichthyosis and several other similar disorders. The present study reports seven patients with confirmed or suspected to be associated with ichthyosis by conducting a thorough clinical and genetic investigation. Genetic testing was conducted using whole-exome sequencing, with Sanger sequencing as the validation method. The MEGA7 program was used to analyze the conservation of amino acid residues affected by the detected missense variants. The enrolled patients exhibited ichthyosis-like but distinct clinical manifestations. …

The tumor microenvironment (TME) plays a fundamental role in tumorigenesis, tumor progression, and anti-cancer immunity potential of emerging cancer therapeutics. Understanding inter-patient TME heterogeneity, however, remains a challenge to efficient drug development. This article applies recent advances in machine learning (ML) for survival analysis to a retrospective study of NSCLC patients who received definitive surgical resection and immune pathology following surgery. ML methods are compared for their effectiveness in identifying prognostic subtypes. Six survival models, including Cox regression and five survival machine learning methods, were calibrated and applied to predict survival for NSCLC patients based on PD-L1 expression, CD3 expression, …

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has a poor prognosis and a heterogeneous mutation landscape. Although common mutations are well-studied, little research has characterized how the sequence of mutations relates to clinical features. Using published, single-cell DNA sequencing data from three institutions, we compared clonal evolution patterns in AML to patient characteristics, disease phenotype, and outcomes. Mutation trees, which represent the order of select mutations, were created for 207 patients from targeted panel sequencing data using 1 639 162 cells, 823 mutations, and 275 samples. In 224 distinct orderings of mutated genes, mutations related to DNA methylation typically preceded those related to …


Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Of The Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex Does Not Improve Handgrip Time-To-Failure Or Alter Central Or Peripheral Hemodynamics, Yousef Qadumi Jul 2024

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Of The Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex Does Not Improve Handgrip Time-To-Failure Or Alter Central Or Peripheral Hemodynamics, Yousef Qadumi

All NMU Master's Theses

Age-related deviations to the neuromuscular system negatively impact motor function and performance. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has been linked to improvements in the neuromuscular system. The purpose of this study was to determine if tDCS delivered to the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) would improve handgrip time-to-failure in adults 60 years old and older. Twenty-five participants completed five maximal voluntary contractions, followed by 20-minutes of a-tDCS or SHAM conditions. Next, participants completed a handgrip time-to-failure task by maximally squeezing an electronic handgrip dynamometer until they could no longer maintain 50% of their maximal voluntary contraction. Pairwise t-test revealed a non-significant …


Evaluation Of Current Redating Guidelines For Pregnancies ≤9 6/7 Weeks' Gestation, Grace Chen, Clara Choi, Allyson Nguyen, Mark Brunk-Grady, Tuan Nguyen Jul 2024

Evaluation Of Current Redating Guidelines For Pregnancies ≤9 6/7 Weeks' Gestation, Grace Chen, Clara Choi, Allyson Nguyen, Mark Brunk-Grady, Tuan Nguyen

Conference Presentation Abstracts

Objectives: The aim was to evaluate the validity of the current redating guidelines for pregnancies ≤9 6/7 weeks’ gestation. We postulated that visually apparent discrepancies between crown-rump length (CRL) measured by ultrasound (US) and CRL by last menstrual period (LMP) were statistically significant. Methods: This is a retrospective, cross-sectional study conducted between January 2019 and June 2023 at a tertiary referral center. Individuals who had singleton gestations between ≥6 0/7 and ≤9 6/7 weeks by known LMP were reviewed. For estimated gestational age (EGA) by LMP ≥6 0/7 and ≤8 6/7 weeks, a 3–5 day discrepancy between EGA by LMP …
