Background/Objectives: Synovial sarcoma (SS) is an aggressive soft-tissue tumor characterized by the chromosomal translocation t(X;18) (p11.2;q11.2), most commonly involving the fusion of the SYT gene on chromosome 18 with the SSX1 or SSX2 genes on c...

SS18-SSX fusion proteins play a central role in synovial sarcoma development, although, the genetic network and mechanisms of synovial sarcomagenesis remain unknown. We established a new ex vivo synovial sarcoma mouse model through retroviral-mediate...

The stability of pericentromeric heterochromatin is maintained by repressive epigenetic control mechanisms, and failure to maintain this stability may cause severe diseases such as immune deficiency and cancer. Thus, deeper insight into the epigeneti...

Synovial sarcoma (SS) is one of the most common types of pediatric soft tissue sarcoma (STS) being far less frequent in adults. This STS type is characterized by one specific chromosomal translocation SS18-SSX and the associated changes in signaling....

Synovial sarcoma (SyS) is a rare aggressive soft tissue sarcoma carrying the chromosomal translocation t(X;18), encoding the fusion transcript SS18::SSX. The fusion oncoprotein interacts with both BAF enhancer complexes and polycomb repressor complex...

Krüppel-associated box (KRAB) zinc finger proteins are a large class of tetrapod transcription factors that usually exert transcriptional repression through recruitment of TRIM28/KAP1. The evolutionary root of modern KRAB domains (mKRAB) can be...

We describe experiments and simulations of dynamical merging with two Taylor state plasmas in a Swarthmore Spheromak Experiment (SSX) device. Taylor states are formed by magnetized plasma guns at opposite ends of the device. We performed experiments...

We describe ion and electron temperature measurements in the Swarthmore Spheromak Experiment (SSX) MHD wind tunnel with the goal of understanding limitations on the lifetime of our Taylor-state plasma. A simple model based on the equilibrium eigenval...

With great interest, we read the article by Manole et al [...]

Synovial sarcoma (SS) is a rare and highly malignant tumor and a type of soft tissue sarcoma (STS), for which survival has not improved significantly in recent years. Synovial sarcomas occur mostly in adolescents and young adults (15–35 years old), u...

Serial Synchrotron Crystallography (SSX) is rapidly emerging as a promising technique for collecting data for time-resolved structural studies or for performing room temperature micro-crystallography measurements using micro-focused beamlines. SSX is...

Serial crystallography (SX) enables the determination of the structure of macromolecules or small molecules with minimal radiation damage. In particular, biomolecule structures determined using the SX technique have the advantage of providing room-te...

Radiation damage and cryogenic sample environment are an experimental limitation observed in the traditional X-ray crystallography technique. However, the serial crystallography (SX) technique not only helps to determine structures at room temperatur...

Synovial sarcoma (SS), a rare subtype of soft-tissue sarcoma distinguished by expression of the fusion gene SS18-SSX, predominantly affects the extremities of young patients. Existing anticancer drugs have limited efficacy against this malignancy, ne...

CuO-TiO₂ nanocomposites were successfully synthesized using the C. benghalensis plant extracts. The effect of the composition of CuO to TiO₂ on the morphological, optical, electrochemical, and photodegradation efficiency in the composites was studied...

Serial crystallography (SX) enables the determination of room-temperature structures with minimal radiation damage. The photon flux of the pink beam of 1.2% bandwidth (BW) is one order higher than that of the monochromatic beam from a silicon crystal...

Background: Synovial sarcoma (SS) is a malignant soft tissue tumor of mesenchymal origin that frequently occurs in young adults. Translocation of the SYT gene on chromosome 18 to the SSX genes on chromosome X leads to the formation of oncogenic fusio...

Synovial sarcomas (SyS) are rare malignant tumors predominantly affecting children, adolescents, and young adults. The genetic hallmark of SyS is the t(X;18) translocation encoding the SS18-SSX fusion gene. The fusion protein interacts with both the...

The quest for eco-friendly synthetic routes that can be used for the development of multifunctional materials, in particular for water treatment, has reinforced the use of plant extracts as replacement solvents. In this study, bimetallic ZnOSnO₂ nano...

Synovial sarcoma (SS) is frequently diagnosed in teenagers and young adults and continues to be treated with polychemotherapy with variable success. The SS18-SSX gene fusion is pathognomonic for the disease, and high expression of the anti-apoptotic...
