TL;DR: The results suggest that hypoglycemic neuronal damage is induced by NMDA receptor agonists, such as the excitatory amino acids or related compounds.
Abstract: The possibility that neuronal damage due to hypoglycemia is induced by agonists acting on the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor was investigated in the rat caudate nucleus. Local injections of an NMDA receptor antagonist, 2-amino-7-phosphonoheptanoic acid, were performed before induction of 30 minutes of reversible, insulin-induced, hypoglycemic coma. Neuronal necrosis in these animals after 1 week of recovery was reduced 90 percent compared to that in saline-injected animals. The results suggest that hypoglycemic neuronal damage is induced by NMDA receptor agonists, such as the excitatory amino acids or related compounds.

TL;DR: A computer program is developed to ascertain, for the first time, all recurrent structural abnormalities in all haematological malignancies and solid tumours published up to June 19, which should help in directing future efforts aimed at identifying the molecular mechanisms involved in tumorigenesis.
Abstract: Cytogenetic studies over the past few decades have revealed clonal chromosomal aberrations in almost 27,000 human neoplasms. Many of these neoplasia-associated chromosomal abnormalities have been characterised at the molecular level, revealing previously unknown genes that are closely associated with the tumorigenic process. Information on chromosome changes in neoplasia is growing rapidly, making it difficult to identify all recurrent chromosomal aberrations. We have developed a computer program to ascertain, for the first time, all recurrent structural abnormalities in all haematological malignancies and solid tumours published up to June 1996. Out of 26,523 cases, a total of 215 balanced and 1,588 unbalanced recurrent aberrations were identified among 75 different neoplastic disorders. Our compilation of all recurrent balanced and unbalanced neoplasia-associated rearrangements should help in directing future efforts aimed at identifying the molecular mechanisms involved in tumorigenesis.

TL;DR: It is proposed that glial cells are components of a BM niche and maintain HSC hibernation by regulating activation of latent TGF-β, which is produced as a latent form by a variety of cells.

TL;DR: A biogeochemical model of vegetation using observed climate data predicts the high northern latitude greening trend over the past two decades observed by satellites and a marked setback in this trend after the Mount Pinatubo volcano eruption in 1991.
Abstract: A biogeochemical model of vegetation using observed climate data predicts the high northern latitude greening trend over the past two decades observed by satellites and a marked setback in this trend after the Mount Pinatubo volcano eruption in 1991. The observed trend toward earlier spring budburst and increased maximum leaf area is produced by the model as a consequence of biogeochemical vegetation responses mainly to changes in temperature. The post-Pinatubo decline in vegetation in 1992-1993 is apparent as the effect of temporary cooling caused by the eruption. High-latitude CO(2) uptake during these years is predicted as a consequence of the differential response of heterotrophic respiration and net primary production.

TL;DR: Grafted neurons can continue for a decade to store and release dopamine and give rise to substantial symptomatic relief in a patient with Parkinson's disease.
Abstract: Synaptic dopamine release from embryonic nigral transplants has been monitored in the striatum of a patient with Parkinson's disease using [11C]-raclopride positron emission tomography to measure dopamine D2 receptor occupancy by the endogenous transmitter. In this patient, who had received a transplant in the right putamen 10 years earlier, grafts had restored both basal and drug-induced dopamine release to normal levels. This was associated with sustained, marked clinical benefit and normalized levels of dopamine storage in the grafted putamen. Despite an ongoing disease process, grafted neurons can thus continue for a decade to store and release dopamine and give rise to substantial symptomatic relief.
