TL;DR: In this article, a practical methodology for creating closeness in an experimental context is presented for the purpose of addressing theoretical issues, yielding provocative tentative findings relating to attachment style and introversion/extraversion.
Abstract: A practical methodology is presented for creating closeness in an experimental context. Whether or not an individual is in a relationship, particular pairings of individuals in the relationship, and circumstances of relationship development become manipulated variables. Over a 45-min period subject pairs carry out self-disclosure and relationship-building tasks that gradually escalate in intensity. Study 1 found greater postinteraction closeness with these tasks versus comparable small-talk tasks. Studies 2 and 3 found no significant closeness effects, inspite of adequate power, for (a) whether pairs were matched for nondisagreement on important attitudes, (b) whether pairs were led to expect mutual liking, or (c) whether getting close was made an explicit goal. These studies also illustrated applications for addressing theoretical issues, yielding provocative tentative findings relating to attachment style and introversion/extraversion.

TL;DR: Strategies conceived to detect surrogate markers of ICD in vitro and to screen large chemical libraries for putative I CD inducers are outlined, based on a high-content, high-throughput platform that was recently developed.
Abstract: Apoptotic cells have long been considered as intrinsically tolerogenic or unable to elicit immune responses specific for dead cell-associated antigens. However, multiple stimuli can trigger a functionally peculiar type of apoptotic demise that does not go unnoticed by the adaptive arm of the immune system, which we named "immunogenic cell death" (ICD). ICD is preceded or accompanied by the emission of a series of immunostimulatory damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) in a precise spatiotemporal configuration. Several anticancer agents that have been successfully employed in the clinic for decades, including various chemotherapeutics and radiotherapy, can elicit ICD. Moreover, defects in the components that underlie the capacity of the immune system to perceive cell death as immunogenic negatively influence disease outcome among cancer patients treated with ICD inducers. Thus, ICD has profound clinical and therapeutic implications. Unfortunately, the gold-standard approach to detect ICD relies on vaccination experiments involving immunocompetent murine models and syngeneic cancer cells, an approach that is incompatible with large screening campaigns. Here, we outline strategies conceived to detect surrogate markers of ICD in vitro and to screen large chemical libraries for putative ICD inducers, based on a high-content, high-throughput platform that we recently developed. Such a platform allows for the detection of multiple DAMPs, like cell surface-exposed calreticulin, extracellular ATP and high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), and/or the processes that underlie their emission, such as endoplasmic reticulum stress, autophagy and necrotic plasma membrane permeabilization. We surmise that this technology will facilitate the development of next-generation anticancer regimens, which kill malignant cells and simultaneously convert them into a cancer-specific therapeutic vaccine.

TL;DR: The findings demonstrate that hippocampal neuronal degeneration is not an inevitable consequence of normal aging and that a loss of principal neurons in the hippocampus fails to account for age-related learning and memory impairment.
Abstract: Hippocampal neuron loss is widely viewed as a hallmark of normal aging. Moreover, neuronal degeneration is thought to contribute directly to age-related deficits in learning and memory supported by the hippocampus. By taking advantage of improved methods for quantifying neuron number, the present study reports evidence challenging these long-standing concepts. The status of hippocampal-dependent spatial learning was evaluated in young and aged Long-Evans rats using the Morris water maze, and the total number of neurons in the principal cell layers of the dentate gyrus and hippocampus was quantified according to the optical fractionator technique. For each of the hippocampal fields, neuron number was preserved in the aged subjects as a group and in aged individuals with documented learning and memory deficits indicative of hippocampal dysfunction. The findings demonstrate that hippocampal neuronal degeneration is not an inevitable consequence of normal aging and that a loss of principal neurons in the hippocampus fails to account for age-related learning and memory impairment. The observed preservation of neuron number represents an essential foundation for identifying the neurobiological effects of hippocampal aging that account for cognitive decline.

TL;DR: There was a larger association of alcohol and aggression in clinical versus non-clinical samples and when measures assessed more severe alcohol problems, and the magnitude of the effect sizes varied significantly as a function of the type of sample and type of alcohol measure selected.

TL;DR: The fact that phase separation was observed in the cholesterol- containing membranes shows that liquid-ordered and liquid-disordered phase domains coexist, and the detergent insolubility of cholesterol-containing model membranes correlated well with the amount of liquid- ordered phase as detected by fluorescence quenching.
Abstract: Detergent-insoluble membrane fragments that are rich in sphingolipid and cholesterol can be isolated from both cell lysates and model membranes. We have proposed that these arise from membranes that are in the liquid-ordered phase both in vivo and in vitro [Schroeder et al. (1994) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 91, 12130−12134]. In order to detect formation of the liquid-ordered phase while avoiding possible detergent artifacts, we have now used fluorescence quenching to examine the phase behavior of mixtures of phosphatidylcholines, sphingolipids, and cholesterol. Phase separation was found in binary mixtures of either dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) or sphingomyelin (SM) and a nitroxide-labeled phosphatidylcholine (12SLPC). A DPPC- or SM-enriched solidlike gel phase coexisted with a 12SLPC-enriched liquid-disordered fluid phase at 23 °C. As expected, phase separation was not seen at low concentrations of DPPC or SM. Instead, only a uniform fluid phase was present. Including 33 mol % cholesterol in ...
