TL;DR: The International Stem Cell Initiative characterized 59 human embryonic stem cell lines from 17 laboratories worldwide and found that despite diverse genotypes and different techniques used for derivation and maintenance, all lines exhibited similar expression patterns for several markers ofhuman embryonic stem cells.
Abstract: The International Stem Cell Initiative characterized 59 human embryonic stem cell lines from 17 laboratories worldwide. Despite diverse genotypes and different techniques used for derivation and maintenance, all lines exhibited similar expression patterns for several markers of human embryonic stem cells. They expressed the glycolipid antigens SSEA3 and SSEA4, the keratan sulfate antigens TRA-1-60, TRA-1-81, GCTM2 and GCT343, and the protein antigens CD9, Thy1 (also known as CD90), tissue- nonspecific alkaline phosphatase and class 1 HLA, as well as the strongly developmentally regulated genes NANOG, POU5F1 (formerly known as OCT4), TDGF1, DNMT3B, GABRB3 and GDF3. Nevertheless, the lines were not identical: differences in expression of several lineage markers were evident, and several imprinted genes showed generally similar allele-specific expression patterns, but some gene-dependent variation was observed. Also, some female lines expressed readily detectable levels of XIST whereas others did not. No significant contamination of the lines with mycoplasma, bacteria or cytopathic viruses was detected.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the pharmacogenetic knowledge regarding CYP polymorphism now developed to a stage where it can be implemented in drug development and in clinical routine for specific drug treatments, thereby improving the drug response and reducing costs for drug treatment.

TL;DR: Looking at outcomes for prostate cancer treated with radical prostatectomy or radiation therapy and validated a new grading system with more accurate grade stratification than current systems, including a simplified grading system of five grades and the lowest grade is 1, as opposed to 6, with the potential to reduce overtreatment of PCa.

TL;DR: Observational studies and randomised clinical trials provide limited evidence for a protective effect of antihypertensive therapy against dementia and stroke-related cognitive decline.
Abstract: Summary The relation of blood pressure with cognitive function and dementia has, in recent years, received much attention from epidemiological research. Some cross-sectional studies have shown an inverse association between blood pressure and the prevalence of dementia and Alzheimer's disease, whereas longitudinal studies yield mixed results that largely depend on the age at which blood pressure is measured and the time interval between blood pressure and outcome assessments. Some studies suggest that midlife high blood pressure is a risk factor for late-life cognitive impairment and dementia, and that low diastolic pressure and very high systolic pressure in older adults may be associated with subsequent development of dementia and Alzheimer's disease. Observational studies and randomised clinical trials provide limited evidence for a protective effect of antihypertensive therapy against dementia and stroke-related cognitive decline. Atherosclerosis resulting from long-standing hypertension, and cerebral hypoperfusion secondary to severe atherosclerosis and to low blood pressure may be major biological pathways linking both high blood pressure in midlife and low blood pressure in late-life to cognitive decline and dementia.

TL;DR: The hypothesis that different parts of the network controlling locomotion can be used in a variety of other motor acts, including learned ones, is reviewed.
Abstract: The general principles governing the nervous control of innate motor acts in vertebrates are discussed. Particular consideration is given to the control of locomotion in both mammals and lower vertebrates. One in vitro model of the lamprey central nervous system has been developed. It can be maintained in vitro for several days and the motor pattern underlying locomotion can be elicited in isolated sections of the spinal cord. These findings now allow a detailed analysis of the underlying neural mechanisms. The hypothesis that different parts of the network controlling locomotion can be used in a variety of other motor acts, including learned ones, is reviewed.
