Marketing Mothers\u27 Milk: The Commodification of Breastfeeding and the New Markets for Breast Milk and Infant Formula [PDF]

, 2009
Today, breastfeeding, human breast milk, and its substitute, infant formula, are commodities. Mothers\u27 milk is marketed both literally and figuratively, as a good for sale, a normative behavior, and a cure for much of what ails twenty-first century ...

The planar cell polarity protein Vangl2 interacts with the PDZ‐domains of Scribble but not with a unique PDZ‐like domain in Inturned

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Structural and biochemical characterisations show that the planar cell polarity (PCP) protein Inturned harbours a unique PDZ‐like domain that does not bind canonical PDZ‐binding motifs (PBMs) like that of another PCP protein Vangl2. In contrast, the apical‐basal polarity protein Scribble contains four PDZ domains that bind Vangl2, but one PDZ domain ...

Mixed Brain Pathologies in Dementia: The BrainNet Europe Consortium Experience [PDF]

, 2008
Background: Dementia results from heterogeneous diseases of the brain. Mixed disease forms are increasingly recognized. Methods: We performed a survey within brain banks of BrainNet Europe to estimate the proportion of mixed disease forms underlying ...

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Autism Brain Tissue Banking

Brain Pathology, 2007
One avenue of progress toward understanding the neurobiological basis of autism is through the detailed study of the post‐mortem brain from affected individuals. The primary purpose of autism brain tissue banking is to make well‐characterized and optimally preserved post‐mortem brain tissue available to the neuroscience research community.

Diversity and complexity in neural organoids

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Neural organoid research aims to expand genetic diversity on one side and increase tissue complexity on the other. Chimeroids integrate multiple donor genomes within single organoids. Self‐organising multi‐identity organoids, exogenous cell seeding, or enforced assembly of region‐specific organoids contribute to tissue complexity.

Specular Microscopy Data of Cornea Bank Donors at Kartal Training and Research Hospital

Türk Oftalmoloji Dergisi, 2014
Objective: To evaluate the correlation between donor cornea endothelial cell morphology, epidemiological features of the donor and time of death in terms of necessity of specular microscopy (SM) in eye bank. Materials and Methods: SM data acquired from

Should the law allow sentiment to triumph over science? The retention of body parts [PDF]

, 2002
The use of human body material including tissue and organs has been controversial for many centuries. Concerns arose in the eighteenth century about practices used to obtain corpses for dissection.

Dammarenediol II enhances etoposide‐induced apoptosis by targeting O‐GlcNAc transferase and Akt/GSK3β/mTOR signaling in liver cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Etoposide induces DNA damage, activating p53‐dependent apoptosis via caspase‐3/7, which cleaves PARP1. Dammarenediol II enhances this apoptotic pathway by suppressing O‐GlcNAc transferase activity, further decreasing O‐GlcNAcylation. The reduction in O‐GlcNAc levels boosts p53‐driven apoptosis and influences the Akt/GSK3β/mTOR signaling pathway ...

Review for special issue: Corneal lamellar surgery: Present outcomes and future perspectives

Taiwan Journal of Ophthalmology
Since the establishment of the first eye bank in the 1940s, their role has evolved to face new challenges. With the recent development of lamellar keratoplasties, eye banks play an even bigger role in the selection and preparation of donor tissues.
