TL;DR: The third generation of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-III) took data from 2008 to 2014 using the original SDSS wide-field imager, the original and an upgraded multi-object fiber-fed optical spectrograph, a new near-infrared high-resolution spectrogram, and a novel optical interferometer.
Abstract: The third generation of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-III) took data from 2008 to 2014 using the original SDSS wide-field imager, the original and an upgraded multi-object fiber-fed optical spectrograph, a new near-infrared high-resolution spectrograph, and a novel optical interferometer. All the data from SDSS-III are now made public. In particular, this paper describes Data Release 11 (DR11) including all data acquired through 2013 July, and Data Release 12 (DR12) adding data acquired through 2014 July (including all data included in previous data releases), marking the end of SDSS-III observing. Relative to our previous public release (DR10), DR12 adds one million new spectra of galaxies and quasars from the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) over an additional 3000 sq. deg of sky, more than triples the number of H-band spectra of stars as part of the Apache Point Observatory (APO) Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE), and includes repeated accurate radial velocity measurements of 5500 stars from the Multi-Object APO Radial Velocity Exoplanet Large-area Survey (MARVELS). The APOGEE outputs now include measured abundances of 15 different elements for each star. In total, SDSS-III added 2350 sq. deg of ugriz imaging; 155,520 spectra of 138,099 stars as part of the Sloan Exploration of Galactic Understanding and Evolution 2 (SEGUE-2) survey; 2,497,484 BOSS spectra of 1,372,737 galaxies, 294,512 quasars, and 247,216 stars over 9376 sq. deg; 618,080 APOGEE spectra of 156,593 stars; and 197,040 MARVELS spectra of 5,513 stars. Since its first light in 1998, SDSS has imaged over 1/3 of the Celestial sphere in five bands and obtained over five million astronomical spectra.

TL;DR: Dabrafenib and trametinib were safely combined at full monotherapy doses, and the rate of pyrexia was increased with combination therapy, whereas the rates of proliferative skin lesions was nonsignificantly reduced.
Abstract: Dose-limiting toxic effects were infrequently observed in patients receiving combination therapy with 150 mg of da braf e nib and 2 mg of tra me ti nib (combination 150/2). Cutaneous squamous-cell carcinoma was seen in 7% of patients receiving combination 150/2 and in 19% receiving monotherapy (P = 0.09), whereas pyrexia was more common in the combination 150/2 group than in the monotherapy group (71% vs. 26%). Median progression-free survival in the combination 150/2 group was 9.4 months, as compared with 5.8 months in the monotherapy group (hazard ratio for progression or death, 0.39; 95% confidence interval, 0.25 to 0.62; P<0.001). The rate of complete or partial response with combination 150/2 therapy was 76%, as compared with 54% with monotherapy (P = 0.03). Conclusions Da braf e nib and tra me ti nib were safely combined at full monotherapy doses. The rate of pyrexia was increased with combination therapy, whereas the rate of proliferative skin lesions was nonsignificantly reduced. Progression-free survival was significantly improved.

TL;DR: This review highlights recent advances in the process of EMT signaling in health and disease and how it may be attenuated or reversed by selective cytokines and growth factors.
Abstract: Epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a central mechanism for diversifying the cells found in complex tissues. This dynamic process helps organize the formation of the body plan, and while EMT is well studied in the context of embryonic development, it also plays a role in the genesis of fibroblasts during organ fibrosis in adult tissues. Emerging evidence from studies of renal fibrosis suggests that more than a third of all disease-related fibroblasts originate from tubular epithelia at the site of injury. This review highlights recent advances in the process of EMT signaling in health and disease and how it may be attenuated or reversed by selective cytokines and growth factors.

TL;DR: Gefitinib, a well-tolerated oral EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor, improved disease-related symptoms and induced radiographic tumor regressions in patients with NSCLC persisting after chemotherapy.
Abstract: ContextMore persons in the United States die from non–small cell lung
cancer (NSCLC) than from breast, colorectal, and prostate cancer combined.
In preclinical testing, oral gefitinib inhibited the growth of NSCLC tumors
that express the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), a mediator of cell
signaling, and phase 1 trials have demonstrated that a fraction of patients
with NSCLC progressing after chemotherapy experience both a decrease in lung
cancer symptoms and radiographic tumor shrinkages with gefitinib.ObjectiveTo assess differences in symptomatic and radiographic response among
patients with NSCLC receiving 250-mg and 500-mg daily doses of gefitinib.Design, Setting, and PatientsDouble-blind, randomized phase 2 trial conducted from November 2000
to April 2001 in 30 US academic and community oncology centers. Patients (N
= 221) had either stage IIIB or IV NSCLC for which they had received at least
2 chemotherapy regimens.InterventionDaily oral gefitinib, either 500 mg (administered as two 250-mg gefitinib
tablets) or 250 mg (administered as one 250-mg gefitinib tablet and 1 matching
placebo).Main Outcome MeasuresImprovement of NSCLC symptoms (2-point or greater increase in score
on the summed lung cancer subscale of the Functional Assessment of Cancer
Therapy-Lung [FACT-L] instrument) and tumor regression (>50% decrease in lesion
size on imaging studies).ResultsOf 221 patients enrolled, 216 received gefitinib as randomized. Symptoms
of NSCLC improved in 43% (95% confidence interval [CI], 33%-53%) of patients
receiving 250 mg of gefitinib and in 35% (95% CI, 26%-45%) of patients receiving
500 mg. These benefits were observed within 3 weeks in 75% of patients. Partial
radiographic responses occurred in 12% (95% CI, 6%-20%) of individuals receiving
250 mg of gefitinib and in 9% (95% CI, 4%-16%) of those receiving 500 mg.
Symptoms improved in 96% of patients with partial radiographic responses.
The overall survival at 1 year was 25%. There were no significant differences
between the 250-mg and 500-mg doses in rates of symptom improvement (P = .26), radiographic tumor regression (P = .51), and projected 1-year survival (P =
.54). The 500-mg dose was associated more frequently with transient acne-like
rash (P = .04) and diarrhea (P = .006).ConclusionsGefitinib, a well-tolerated oral EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor, improved
disease-related symptoms and induced radiographic tumor regressions in patients
with NSCLC persisting after chemotherapy.
