Chromoanagenesis in Osteosarcoma by Guozhuang Li, Nan Wu, Jen Ghabrial, Victoria Stinnett, Melanie Klausner, Laura Morsberger, Patty Long, Ezra Baraban, John M. Gross, Ying S. Zou

“…Chromoanagenesis is a catastrophic genomic phenomenon involving sudden, extensive rearrangements within one or a few cell cycles. In osteosarcoma, the most prevalent malignant bone tumor in children and adolescents, these events dramatically alter the genomic landscape, frequently disrupting key tumor suppressor genes like <i>TP53</i> and <i>RB1</i>, amplifying oncogene expression, and propelling tumor progression and evolution. …”

Spectroscopic Ultraluminous Lyα Luminosity Functions at z = 5.7 and z = 6.6 from HEROES: Evidence for Ionized Bubbles by A. J. Taylor, A. J. Barger, L. L. Cowie, E. M. Hu, A. Songaila

“…This convergence (noted in previous literature) provides strong evidence that the most luminous LAEs at z = 6.6 form ionized bubbles around themselves, allowing for greater Ly α transmission through the neutral intergalactic medium, which is measured as an increase in the bright end of the z = 6.6 LF over the expected evolution in the LF based on the faint end. …”

Effects of different substrates on growth and quality of “Muscat of Alexandria” grape under root system control by Yang Xia, He Shuiping, Lu Meidan, Pei Qingsong, Jia Huijuan

“…Compared with the soil, grapes cultivated in organic substrate had longer branch length, smaller leaf area, and lower leaf greenness from young fruit stage to stone hardening stage; grapes cultivated in half organic substrate had the longest branch length with smallest leaf area in all period of the vine, and the chlorophyll content was lower than the control in most time. 3) The diameter of berry had no difference between the soil and organic substrate, but the berry in half organic substrate had the smallest size; the single fruit mass also had no difference between the soil and organic substrate, but the mass in half organic substrate was the lowest; the berry firmness between the half organic substrate and organic substrate had no difference, which was higher than that in soil. 4) Organic substrate improved the sugar and acid content in flesh, and the content of sugar decreased in half organic substrate. …”
