Repifermin (keratinocyte growth factor-2) reduces the severity of graft-versus-host disease while preserving a graft-versus-leukemia effect
Abstract Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is the principal complication after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT). Reductions in systemic GVHD are frequently associated with a corresponding diminishment of the graft-versus-leukemia (GVL)...

Synaptically Induced Long-Term Modulation of Electrical Coupling in the Inferior Olive
Summary Electrical coupling mediated by gap junctions is widespread in the mammalian CNS, and the interplay between chemical and electrical synapses on the millisecond timescale is crucial for determining patterns of synchrony in many neural...

Genetic variation in FADS genes is associated with maternal long-chain PUFA status but not with cognitive development of infants in a high fish-eating observational study
Abstract Long-chain n-6 and n-3 PUFA (LC-PUFA), arachidonic acid (AA) (20:4n-6) and DHA (22:6n-3), are critical for optimal brain development. These fatty acids can be consumed directly from the diet, or synthesized endogenously from precursor PUFA...

High-throughput sequencing for the study of bacterial pathogen biology
A revolution in sequencing technologies in recent years has led to dramatically increased throughput and reduced cost of bacterial genome sequencing. An increasing number of applications of the new technologies are providing broad insights into bacterial...

Repopulation of the Atrophied Uterine in Diabetic Rats by Azadirachta excelsa Leaves Extract
Abstract The reduction of uterine strength is always a concern in diabetic women. Therefore the mechanism of Azadirachta excelsa for repairing the uterus structure in diabetic rats has been investigated. Twenty four Sprague dawley rats were divided...

Organ Size Control Is Dominant over Rb Family Inactivation to Restrict Proliferation In Vivo
Summary In mammals, a cell’s decision to divide is thought to be under the control of the Rb/E2F pathway. We previously found that inactivation of the Rb family of cell cycle inhibitors (Rb, p107, and p130) in quiescent liver progenitors leads to...

C-Terminal Modulatory Domain Controls Coupling of Voltage-Sensing to Pore Opening in Cav1.3 L-type Ca2+ Channels
Abstract Activity of voltage-gated Cav1.3 L-type Ca2+ channels is required for proper hearing as well as sinoatrial node and brain function. This critically depends on their negative activation voltage range, which is further fine-tuned by...

Cellular and Behavioral Functions of fruitless Isoforms in Drosophila Courtship
Summary Background Male-specific products of the fruitless (fru) gene control the development and function of neuronal circuits that underlie male-specific behaviors in Drosophila, including courtship. Alternative splicing...

Healthcare-associated outbreak of meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia: role of a cryptic variant of an epidemic clone
Summary Background New strains of meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) may be associated with changes in rates of disease or clinical presentation. Conventional typing techniques may not detect new clonal variants that ...
