TL;DR: An essential 5-HTDRN→CRFBNST circuit governing fear and anxiety underlies aversive behaviour following acute exposure to selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), and provides a potential mechanistic explanation for the clinical observation of early adverse events to SSRI treatment in some patients with anxiety disorders.
Abstract: Serotonin (also known as 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)) is a neurotransmitter that has an essential role in the regulation of emotion. However, the precise circuits have not yet been defined through which aversive states are orchestrated by 5-HT. Here we show that 5-HT from the dorsal raphe nucleus (5-HTDRN) enhances fear and anxiety and activates a subpopulation of corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) neurons in the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (CRFBNST) in mice. Specifically, 5-HTDRN projections to the BNST, via actions at 5-HT2C receptors (5-HT2CRs), engage a CRFBNST inhibitory microcircuit that silences anxiolytic BNST outputs to the ventral tegmental area and lateral hypothalamus. Furthermore, we demonstrate that this CRFBNST inhibitory circuit underlies aversive behaviour following acute exposure to selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). This early aversive effect is mediated via the corticotrophin-releasing factor type 1 receptor (CRF1R, also known as CRHR1), given that CRF1R antagonism is sufficient to prevent acute SSRI-induced enhancements in aversive learning. These results reveal an essential 5-HTDRN→CRFBNST circuit governing fear and anxiety, and provide a potential mechanistic explanation for the clinical observation of early adverse events to SSRI treatment in some patients with anxiety disorders.

TL;DR: There has been a substantial increase in research interest to identify methodologies for optimizing fat graft survival, but despite some differences in harvest and implantation technique in the laboratory, these findings have not translated into a universal protocol for fat grafting.
Abstract: Background
Interest in and acceptance of autologous fat grafting for use in contour abnormalities, breast reconstruction, and cosmetic procedures have increased. However, there are many procedural variations that alter the effectiveness of the procedure and may account for the unpredictable resorption rates observed.

TL;DR: There has recently been an explosion of interest in adult stem/progenitor cells that have the potential to repair tissues, but the data present a paradox— the cells frequently repair injured tissues without much evidence of either engraftment or differentiation.
Abstract: There has recently been an explosion of interest in adult stem/progenitor cells that have the potential to repair tissues, with over 3,000 citations to publications (PubMed) and numerous announcements of clinical trials in which the cells are used to treat individuals with a broad range of diseases. At the same time, the data present a paradox-the cells originally attracted attention because of their stem-cell-like properties, but the cells frequently repair injured tissues without much evidence of either engraftment or differentiation.

TL;DR: Plasma protein appears to contain substance(s) immunologically indistinguishable from GH-RIH or to interfere, in a nonspecific manner, with the radioimmunoassay system for GH-Rih, suggesting the antigenic determinant involved the amino acid sequence from position 3-14 of GH- RIH or part of it.
Abstract: The synthetic growth hormone release inhibiting hormone (GH-RIH) was conjugated with human serum globulin using glutaraldehyde and administered to rabbits. An antiserum thus generated 70% of 125I-Tyr1-GH-RIH. The binding was inhibited by unlabelled GH-RIH and the inhibition was dose-related, enabling us to establish a radioimmunoassay method for GH-RIH. The minimum detectable dose was 4 pg. A linearity was demonstrated for immunoreactive GH-RIH of extracts of rat and pig hypothalami, indicating that they contained substance(s) indistinguishable from GH-RIH. Various hypothalamic and pituitary hormones did not interfere with the radioimmunoassay, but considerable cross-reaction was observed for linear GH-RIH and the ring portion of GIH-RIH, suggesting that the antigenic determinant involved the amino acid sequence from position 3-14 of GH-RIH or part of it. Plasma protein appears to contain substance(s) immunologically indistinguishable from GH-RIH or to interfere, in a nonspecific manner, with the radioimmunoassay system for GH-RIH.

TL;DR: To assess current trajectories towards the GPW13 UHC billion target—1 billion more people benefiting from UHC by 2023—the authors estimated additional population equivalents with UHC effective coverage from 2018 to 2023, and quantified frontiers of U HC effective coverage performance on the basis of pooled health spending per capita.
