AbstractThe autoimmune responses in multiple sclerosis (MS), particularly those mediated by T cells targeting CNS-derived antigens, are broadly recognized. However, the defining triggers underlying these responses remain poorly understood. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection has emerged as a primary risk factor for MS, suggesting a potential role for molecular mimicry in which EBV-specific immune responses cross-react with myelin antigens.

AbstractAmong flowering plants, genome size varies remarkably, by >2200-fold, and this variation depends on the loss and gain of non-coding DNA sequences that form distinct heterochromatin complexes during interphase. In plants with giant genomes, most chromatin remains condensed during interphase, forming a dense network of heterochromatin threads called interphase chromonemata.

As Roman and I stroll through Central Park on the way to my book launch, the Soviet poet Marina Tsvetayeva gets up from a bench and walks right by us. She sports her signature short hair and severe bangs, as well as her dark eyes, prominent nose, and beguiling air of doom. I am not completely mad, yet—I know it’s not really her.

1. IntroductionUterine fibroids are most common in women aged 35–50 years (frequency of 30–35%), but there is a tendency for the first onset of the disease at an earlier age—25 years and even younger [1]. In the structure of gynecological morbidity, uterine fibroids occupy second place in the frequency of occurrence, second only to inflammatory diseases of the female reproductive system, and remain the most common benign tumors in gynecology [2].

My insomnia began just when my baby girl started sleeping through the night. Anytime my head hit the pillow, my heart pounded like a million galloping horses, and I would tremble and sweat and eventually get up and stand on our back porch to beg the gods for peace until I heard the birds chirping, inaugurating a new day, which I would spend dragging around my girl without even a modicum of rest. None of the herbs, medications, or mindfulness techniques I tried were able to move the needle.

AbstractAmong land plants, genome sizes vary remarkably by > 2,200-fold. This variation depends on the loss and gain of non-coding DNA sequences, forming different heterochromatin complexes during interphase. In plants with a giant genome, the major part of chromatin stays condensed in interphase, forming a dense meshwork of heterochromatin threads, called interphase chromonemata.
