Nerve commitment in Hydra. I. Role of morphogenetic signals [PDF]
The kinetics of nerve commitment during head regeneration in Hydra were investigated using a newly developed assay for committed cells. Committed nerve precursors were assayed by their ability to continue nerve differentiation following explanation of ...

Mutations in pericentrin cause Seckel syndrome with defective ATR-dependent DNA damage signaling [PDF]
Large brain size is one of the defining characteristics of modern humans. Seckel syndrome (MIM 210600), a disorder of markedly reduced brain and body size, is associated with defective ATR-dependent DNA damage signaling.

Benefit-risk profile of cytoreductive drugs along with antiplatelet and antithrombotic therapy after transient ischemic attack or ischemic stroke in myeloproliferative neoplasms [PDF]
We analyzed 597 patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) who presented transient ischemic attacks (TIA, n = 270) or ischemic stroke (IS, n = 327). Treatment included aspirin, oral anticoagulants, and cytoreductive drugs.

Randomized phase 2 trial of regadenoson for treatment of acute vaso-occlusive crises in sickle cell disease [PDF]
Key Points Regadenoson did not reduce iNKT cell activation to a prespecified level when administered to patients with SCD. Because iNKT cell activation was not reduced, the benefit of iNKT cell-based therapies in SCD cannot be determined.
