Secondary Malignant Transformation of Giant Cell Tumor of Bone: Is It a Fate?
The malignant transformation of conventional giant cell tumor of bone (GCTOB) is rare and usually occurs with irradiation. Here we report two neglected cases of conventional GCTOB with spontaneous malignant transformation at 11 and 16 years after initial diagnosis. In the former case, the patient refused to receive any treatment following the incisional biopsy, and in the latter, the firs...
متن کاملA Super New Twist on the Initiation of Meiotic Recombination
In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, it has been recognized for some time that the predominant stimulus of recombi-Rosenstiel Center and Department of Biology nation, both in mitosis and in meiosis, is the formation of double-strand breaks (DSBs). In mitotic cells, recom-Brandeis University Waltham, Massachusetts 02254 bination initiated by site-specific endonucleases such as HO (which initiates mating...
متن کاملPNLDC1, mouse pre‐piRNA Trimmer, is required for meiotic and post‐meiotic male germ cell development
PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are germ cell-specific small RNAs essential for retrotransposon gene silencing and male germ cell development. In piRNA biogenesis, the endonuclease MitoPLD/Zucchini cleaves long, single-stranded RNAs to generate 5' termini of precursor piRNAs (pre-piRNAs) that are consecutively loaded into PIWI-family proteins. Subsequently, these pre-piRNAs are trimmed at their ...
متن کاملSimulation of a New Process Design to Fabricate a Rectangular Twist Waveguide Using Extrusion and a Twist Die
The aim of the present study is to determine the feasibility of making a rectangular twist waveguide used to rotate electromagnetic waves. For this purpose, the process of fabricating an aluminum rectangular twist waveguide was simulated by making use of finite element method and Deform software. The optimum length and angle of the twist die for manufacturing a twist waveguide with inner cross ...
متن کاملA new twist on protein crystallization.
Electron microscopy (EM), combined with image processing, has become an increasingly powerful tool for structural biology. Advances in cryopreservation and imaging, along with increasingly sophisticated computational tools for image processing, allow three-dimensional (3D) structure determination of macromolecules or macromolecular assemblies trapped in native states (1, 2). Structures from non...
