TL;DR: From genotype-phenotype correlations, it seems that ADO II reflects a dominant negative effect, whereas loss-of-function mutations in ClCN7 do not cause abnormalities in heterozygous individuals.
Abstract: Albers-Schonberg disease, or autosomal dominant osteopetrosis, type II (ADO II), is the most common form of osteopetrosis, a group of conditions characterized by an increased skeletal mass due to impaired bone and cartilage resorption. Following the assignment of the gene causing ADO II to chromosome 16p13.3, we now report seven different mutations in the gene encoding the ClCN7 chloride channel in all 12 ADO II families analysed. Additionally, a patient with the severe, autosomal recessive, infantile form of osteopetrosis (ARO) was identified as being homozygous for a ClCN7 mutation. From genotype-phenotype correlations, it seems that ADO II reflects a dominant negative effect, whereas loss-of-function mutations in ClCN7 do not cause abnormalities in heterozygous individuals. Because some ARO patients have mutations in both copies of the ClCN7 gene, ADO II is allelic with a subset of ARO cases.

TL;DR: The data suggest that counts of 4% or greater or 300 cells per μL or more might identify a deleterious effect of ICS withdrawal, an effect not seen in most patients with eosinophil counts below these thresholds.

TL;DR: Nano-scale Fe(III)-affinity chromatography combined with nano-electrospray FTMS/ECD facilitated phosphopeptide analysis and amino acid sequencing from crude proteolytic peptide mixtures.
Abstract: Analysis of phosphotyrosine and phosphoserine containing peptides by nano-electrospray Fouriertransform ion cyclotron resonance (FTICR) mass spectrometry established electron capture dissociation(ECD) as a viable method for phosphopeptide sequencing In general, ECD spectra of synthetic and nativephosphopeptides appeared less complex than conventional collision activated dissociation (CAD) massspectra of these species ECD of multiply protonated phosphopeptide ions generated mainly c- and z

TL;DR: It is hoped that the functional description of the deep hierarchies realized in the primate visual system provides valuable insights for the design of computer vision algorithms, fostering increasingly productive interaction between biological and computer vision research.
Abstract: Computational modeling of the primate visual system yields insights of potential relevance to some of the challenges that computer vision is facing, such as object recognition and categorization, motion detection and activity recognition, or vision-based navigation and manipulation. This paper reviews some functional principles and structures that are generally thought to underlie the primate visual cortex, and attempts to extract biological principles that could further advance computer vision research. Organized for a computer vision audience, we present functional principles of the processing hierarchies present in the primate visual system considering recent discoveries in neurophysiology. The hierarchical processing in the primate visual system is characterized by a sequence of different levels of processing (on the order of 10) that constitute a deep hierarchy in contrast to the flat vision architectures predominantly used in today's mainstream computer vision. We hope that the functional description of the deep hierarchies realized in the primate visual system provides valuable insights for the design of computer vision algorithms, fostering increasingly productive interaction between biological and computer vision research.

TL;DR: It is concluded that telomere length, which is under genetic control, might play a role in mechanisms that regulate pulse pressure, including vascular aging.
Abstract: There is evidence that telomeres, the ends of chromosomes, serve as clocks that pace cellular aging in vitro and in vivo. In industrialized nations, pulse pressure rises with age, and it might serve as a phenotype of biological aging of the vasculature. We therefore conducted a twin study to investigate the relation between telomere length in white blood cells and pulse pressure while simultaneously assessing the role of genetic factors in determining telomere length. We measured by Southern blot analysis the mean length of the terminal restriction fragments (TRF) in white blood cells of 49 twin pairs from the Danish Twin Register and assessed the relations of blood pressure parameters with TRF. TRF length showed an inverse relation with pulse pressure. Both TRF length and pulse pressure were highly familial. We conclude that telomere length, which is under genetic control, might play a role in mechanisms that regulate pulse pressure, including vascular aging.
