An expert has warned that one type of pollen could reach its highest level to date
All hay fever sufferers have been given a warning and told to 'brace themselves' ahead of what is predicted to be a 'severe season' with 'alarming' levels of pollen forecast. Experts have warned that, because of the weather, pollen could be 'higher than usual' this year.
The warning comes as it's predicted that birch pollen may reach the highest ever levels. According to Allergy UK, 'birch pollen typically causes allergic rhinitis symptoms in the nose and eyes, but can also cause symptoms in the oral /pharyngeal mucosa referred to as Pollen Food Syndrome or oral allergy syndrome.'The University of Worcester's Dr Beverley Adams-Groom warned that some of the highest ever levels of birch pollen is expected in the UK this year.
She warned that levels expected would mean those with hay fever were likely to "suffer on more days". It is still too early for forecasters to make realistic predictions on grass pollen levels for this year as they are waiting to see what weather conditions take place over the next few months, says Birmingham Live.

Aberrant accumulation of NIK promotes tumor growth by dysregulating translation and post-translational modifications in breast cancer - Cancer Cell InternationalBackground In vivo investigations with cancer cells have powerful tools to discover cancer progression mechanisms and preclinical candidate drugs. Among these in vivo experimental models, the establishment of highly malignancy cell lines with xenograft has been frequently used. However, few previous researches targeted malignancy-related genes whose protein levels translationally changed. Therefore, this study aimed to identify malignancy-related genes which contributed to cancer progression and changed at the protein level in the in vivo selected cancer cell lines. Methods We established the high malignancy breast cancer cell line (LM05) by orthotopic xenograft as an in vivo selection method. To explore the altered genes by translational or post-translational regulation, we analyzed the protein production by western blotting in the highly malignant breast cancer cell line. Functional analyses of the altered genes were performed by in vitro and in vivo experiments. To reveal the molecular mechanisms of the regulation with protein level, we evaluated post-translational modification by immunoprecipitation. In addition, we evaluated translational production by click reaction-based purification of nascent protein. Results As a result, NF-κB inducing kinase (NIK) increased at the protein level and promoted the nuclear localization of NF-κB2 (p52) and RelB in the highly malignant breast cancer cell line. The functional analyses indicated the NIK upregulation contributed to tumor malignancy via cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) attraction and partially anti-apoptotic activities. Additionally, the immunoprecipitation experiment revealed that the ubiquitination of NIK decreased in LM05 cells. The decline in NIK ubiquitination was attributed to the translational downregulation of cIAP1. Conclusions Our study identified a dysregulated mechanism of NIK production by the suppression of NIK post-modification and cIAP1 translation. The aberrant NIK accumulation promoted tumor g
