TL;DR: Findings demonstrate that both growth-promoting BCR signaling and growth-inhibitory FcgammaRIIB signaling modulate glucose energy metabolism, which may prove to be useful in the treatment of lymphoproliferative disorders, wherein clonal expansion of B lymphocytes plays a role.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed infrastructure to perform three-way as well as two-way exchanges, which will have a substantial effect on the number of transplants that can be arranged.
Abstract: Patients needing kidney transplants may have donors who cannot donate to them because of blood or tissue incompatibility. Incompatible patient-donor pairs can exchange donor kidneys with other pairs only when there is a "double coincidence of wants." Developing infrastructure to perform three-way as well as two-way exchanges will have a substantial effect on the number of transplants that can be arranged. Larger than three-way exchanges have less impact on efficiency. In a general model of type-compatible exchanges, the size of the largest exchanges required to achieve efficiency equals the number of types.

TL;DR: In this paper, the relevance of the credit channel depends on the structural features of the housing finance system, in particular efficiency and institutional organisation, and they employ a VAR approach to analyse this issue in four housing markets (Finland, Germany, Norway and the UK).

TL;DR: A chain of 10 kidney transplantations, initiated in July 2007 by a single altruistic donor and coordinated over a period of 8 months by two large paired-donation registries, illustrates the potential of this strategy.
Abstract: We report a chain of 10 kidney transplantations, initiated in July 2007 by a single altruistic donor (i.e., a donor without a designated recipient) and coordinated over a period of 8 months by two large paired-donation registries. These transplantations involved six transplantation centers in five states. In the case of five of the transplantations, the donors and their coregistered recipients underwent surgery simultaneously. In the other five cases, "bridge donors" continued the chain as many as 5 months after the coregistered recipients in their own pairs had received transplants. This report of a chain of paired kidney donations, in which the transplantations were not necessarily performed simultaneously, illustrates the potential of this strategy.

TL;DR: In 1996, Congress passed the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act, which abolished the 60-year-old Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) programme.
Abstract: In 1996, Congress passed the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act, which abolished the 60-year-old Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) programme. This book analyzes how changes in the AFDC programme came about and explores the politics of welfare reform.
