TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported mutations in the gene encoding RANKL (receptor activator of nuclear factor-KB ligand) in six individuals with SRO whose bone biopsy specimens lacked osteoclasts.
Abstract: Autosomal recessive osteopetrosis is usually associated with normal or elevated numbers of nonfunctional osteoclasts. Here we report mutations in the gene encoding RANKL (receptor activator of nuclear factor-KB ligand) in six individuals with autosomal recessive osteopetrosis whose bone biopsy specimens lacked osteoclasts. These individuals did not show any obvious defects in immunological parameters and could not be cured by hematopoietic stem cell transplantation; however, exogenous RANKL induced formation of functional osteoclasts from their monocytes, suggesting that they could, theoretically, benefit from exogenous RANKL administration.

TL;DR: The position of the yeast phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK) gene has been mapped on a 2.95kb Hind III fragment and the nucleotide sequence of the 5' flanking region is determined and compared with those from 16 other yeast genes.
Abstract: The position of the yeast phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK) gene has been mapped on a 2.95kb Hind III fragment. We have determined the nucleotide sequence of the 5' flanking region and compared this sequence with those from 16 other yeast genes. PGK, like all other yeast genes has an adenine residue at position -3. It has two possible TATA boxes at positions -114 and -152 and a CAAT box at -129. In addition we have defined a structure at position -63 to -39 that is common to all yeast genes that encode an abundant RNA. This structure is a CT-rich block followed, about 10 nucleotides later, by the sequence CAAG.

TL;DR: A new association for large vessel stroke within HDAC9 (encoding histone deacetylase 9) on chromosome 7p21.1 is identified, which suggests distinct genetic architectures for different stroke subtypes.
Abstract: Genetic factors have been implicated in stroke risk, but few replicated associations have been reported. We conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) for ischemic stroke and its subtypes in 3,548 affected individuals and 5,972 controls, all of European ancestry. Replication of potential signals was performed in 5,859 affected individuals and 6,281 controls. We replicated previous associations for cardioembolic stroke near PITX2 and ZFHX3 and for large vessel stroke at a 9p21 locus. We identified a new association for large vessel stroke within HDAC9 (encoding histone deacetylase 9) on chromosome 7p21.1 (including further replication in an additional 735 affected individuals and 28,583 controls) (rs11984041; combined P = 1.87 × 10(-11); odds ratio (OR) = 1.42, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.28-1.57). All four loci exhibited evidence for heterogeneity of effect across the stroke subtypes, with some and possibly all affecting risk for only one subtype. This suggests distinct genetic architectures for different stroke subtypes.

TL;DR: This review covers the functions of phagocytes in innate antifungal immunity, along with selected examples of the strategies that are used by fungal pathogens to subvert these defenses.
Abstract: Fungal diseases have emerged as significant causes of morbidity and mortality, particularly in immune-compromised individuals, prompting greater interest in understanding the mechanisms of host resistance to these pathogens. Consequently, the past few decades have seen a tremendous increase in our knowledge of the innate and adaptive components underlying the protective (and nonprotective) mechanisms of antifungal immunity. What has emerged from these studies is that phagocytic cells are essential for protection and that defects in these cells compromise the host's ability to resist fungal infection. This review covers the functions of phagocytes in innate antifungal immunity, along with selected examples of the strategies that are used by fungal pathogens to subvert these defenses.
