By Bhavana KunkalikarJul 18 2022Reviewed by Danielle Ellis, B.Sc. In a recent study published in Travel Medicine and Infectious Disease, researchers phylogenomically analyzed the monkeypox virus .
About the study In the present study, researchers assessed the evolution and diversity of MPVX genomes using phylogenomic analysis. The phylogenomic analysis was performed using the aligned dataset derived using NextClade. The datasets were utilized to develop a maximum likelihood further. Furthermore, the team evaluated the potential introduction date as well as the dispersion dynamics of the MPVX infections. The tree obtained from this evaluation was represented in the Interactive Tree Of Life , wherein the clades were assigned based on the intrataxa classification system.

Antiprogestins reduce epigenetic field cancerization in breast tissue of young healthy women - Genome MedicineBackground Breast cancer is a leading cause of death in premenopausal women. Progesterone drives expansion of luminal progenitor cells, leading to the development of poor-prognostic breast cancers. However, it is not known if antagonising progesterone can prevent breast cancers in humans. We suggest that targeting progesterone signalling could be a means of reducing features which are known to promote breast cancer formation. Methods In healthy premenopausal women with and without a BRCA mutation we studied (i) estrogen and progesterone levels in saliva over an entire menstrual cycle (n= 20); (ii) cancer-free normal breast-tissue from a control population who had no family or personal history of breast cancer and equivalently from BRCA1/2 mutation carriers (n= 28); triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) biopsies and healthy breast tissue taken from sites surrounding the TNBC in the same individuals (n= 14); and biopsies of ER+ve/PR+ve stage T1–T2 cancers and healthy breast tissue taken from sites surrounding the cancer in the same individuals (n= 31); and (iii) DNA methylation and DNA mutations in normal breast tissue (before and after treatment) from clinical trials that assessed the potential preventative effects of vitamins and antiprogestins (mifepristone and ulipristal acetate; n= 44). Results Daily levels of progesterone were higher throughout the menstrual cycle of BRCA1/2 mutation carriers, raising the prospect of targeting progesterone signalling as a means of cancer risk reduction in this population. Furthermore, breast field cancerization DNA methylation signatures reflective of (i) the mitotic age of normal breast epithelium and (ii) the proportion of luminal progenitor cells were increased in breast cancers, indicating that luminal progenitor cells with elevated replicative age are more prone to malignant transformation. The progesterone receptor antagonist mifepristone reduced both the mitotic age and the proportion of luminal progenitor cells in normal
