TL;DR: The effects of a low target blood pressure on the onset of kidney failure and all-cause mortality was evaluated through extended follow-up after completion of the MDRD Study and it was recommended that participants with proteinuria greater than 1 g/d have a lower targetBlood pressure.
Abstract: The optimal blood pressure to slow progression of chronic kidney disease is not known. In this report of long-term follow-up of patients with a moderately to severely decreased glomerular filtratio...

TL;DR: This review describes the mechanisms and consequences of replication stalling at various natural impediments, with an emphasis on the role of replicationStalling in genomic instability.
Abstract: Summary: Accurate and complete replication of the genome in every cell division is a prerequisite of genomic stability. Thus, both prokaryotic and eukaryotic replication forks are extremely precise and robust molecular machines that have evolved to be up to the task. However, it has recently become clear that the replication fork is more of a hurdler than a runner: it must overcome various obstacles present on its way. Such obstacles can be called natural impediments to DNA replication, as opposed to external and genetic factors. Natural impediments to DNA replication are particular DNA binding proteins, unusual secondary structures in DNA, and transcription complexes that occasionally (in eukaryotes) or constantly (in prokaryotes) operate on replicating templates. This review describes the mechanisms and consequences of replication stalling at various natural impediments, with an emphasis on the role of replication stalling in genomic instability.

TL;DR: New bone formation can be stimulated as the result of a mechanical reorganization in which total strains are lower than those which normally occur, suggesting that osteonal remodelling may not be a simple reparative process but may be one influenced by the strain situation possibly to improve the structure and physical properties of the tissue.

TL;DR: The results suggest that altered accumbens and cortical extracellular dopamine concentrations during social threat are not secondary to motor activation but instead reflect increased attention to the provocative stimulus or attempts by the intruder to 'cope' with the stimulus.

TL;DR: An essential role for ERβ in the regulation of vascular function and blood pressure is supported by show that vascular smooth muscle cells and blood vessels from estrogen receptor β (ERβ)–deficient mice exhibit multiple functional abnormalities.
Abstract: Blood vessels express estrogen receptors, but their role in cardiovascular physiology is not well understood. We show that vascular smooth muscle cells and blood vessels from estrogen receptor beta (ERbeta)-deficient mice exhibit multiple functional abnormalities. In wild-type mouse blood vessels, estrogen attenuates vasoconstriction by an ERbeta-mediated increase in inducible nitric oxide synthase expression. In contrast, estrogen augments vasoconstriction in blood vessels from ERbeta-deficient mice. Vascular smooth muscle cells isolated from ERbeta-deficient mice show multiple abnormalities of ion channel function. Furthermore, ERbeta-deficient mice develop sustained systolic and diastolic hypertension as they age. These data support an essential role for ERbeta in the regulation of vascular function and blood pressure.
