TL;DR: This trial shows that control of local tumour can lead to an improvement in long term survival and demonstrates the importance of cellular repopulation as a cause of failure in the radiotherapy of NSCLC.

TL;DR: For example, the authors identified 44 independent single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) significantly associated with migraine risk (P < 5 × 10−8) that mapped to 38 distinct genomic loci, including 28 loci not previously reported and a locus that to date is the first to be identified on chromosome X.
Abstract: Migraine is a debilitating neurological disorder affecting around one in seven people worldwide, but its molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. There is some debate about whether migraine is a disease of vascular dysfunction or a result of neuronal dysfunction with secondary vascular changes. Genome-wide association (GWA) studies have thus far identified 13 independent loci associated with migraine. To identify new susceptibility loci, we carried out a genetic study of migraine on 59,674 affected subjects and 316,078 controls from 22 GWA studies. We identified 44 independent single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) significantly associated with migraine risk (P < 5 × 10−8) that mapped to 38 distinct genomic loci, including 28 loci not previously reported and a locus that to our knowledge is the first to be identified on chromosome X. In subsequent computational analyses, the identified loci showed enrichment for genes expressed in vascular and smooth muscle tissues, consistent with a predominant theory of migraine that highlights vascular etiologies.

TL;DR: This paper performed a meta-analysis of >15 million genetic variants in 21,399 cases and 95,464 controls from populations of European, African, Japanese and Latino ancestry, followed by replication in 32,059 cases and 228,628 controls from 18 studies.
Abstract: Genetic association studies have identified 21 loci associated with atopic dermatitis risk predominantly in populations of European ancestry. To identify further susceptibility loci for this common, complex skin disease, we performed a meta-analysis of >15 million genetic variants in 21,399 cases and 95,464 controls from populations of European, African, Japanese and Latino ancestry, followed by replication in 32,059 cases and 228,628 controls from 18 studies. We identified ten new risk loci, bringing the total number of known atopic dermatitis risk loci to 31 (with new secondary signals at four of these loci). Notably, the new loci include candidate genes with roles in the regulation of innate host defenses and T cell function, underscoring the important contribution of (auto)immune mechanisms to atopic dermatitis pathogenesis.

TL;DR: The central stalk in ATP synthase is made of γ, δ and ɛ subunits in the mitochondrial enzyme, and with crystals of F1-ATPase inhibited with dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, the complete structure was revealed.
Abstract: The central stalk in ATP synthase, made of γ, δ and ɛ subunits in the mitochondrial enzyme, is the key rotary element in the enzyme's catalytic mechanism. The γ subunit penetrates the catalytic (αβ)3 domain and protrudes beneath it, interacting with a ring of c subunits in the membrane that drives rotation of the stalk during ATP synthesis. In other crystals of F1-ATPase, the protrusion was disordered, but with crystals of F1-ATPase inhibited with dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, the complete structure was revealed. The δ and ɛ subunits interact with a Rossmann fold in the γ subunit, forming a foot. In ATP synthase, this foot interacts with the c-ring and couples the transmembrane proton motive force to catalysis in the (αβ)3 domain.
