TL;DR: Evidence suggesting that cranberries may decrease the recurrence of urinary tract infections is important because a nutritional approach to this condition could lower the use of antibiotic treatment and the consequent development of resistance to these drugs.

TL;DR: Observations indicate that PTEN acts at multiple sites in the cell, regulating the transition of differentiating neuroblasts to postmitotic neurons, and is not required for astrocytic differentiation.
Abstract: Mutations of phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN), a protein and lipid phosphatase, have been associated with gliomas, macrocephaly, and mental deficiencies. We have assessed PTEN′s role in the nervous system and find that PTEN is expressed in mouse brain late in development, starting at approximately postnatal day 0. In adult brain, PTEN is preferentially expressed in neurons and is especially evident in Purkinje neurons, olfactory mitral neurons, and large pyramidal neurons. To analyze the function of PTEN in neuronal differentiation, we used two well established model systems—pheochromocytoma cells and cultured CNS stem cells. PTEN is expressed during neurotrophin-induced differentiation and is detected in both the nucleus and cytoplasm. Suppression of PTEN levels with antisense oligonucleotides does not block initiation of neuronal differentiation. Instead, PTEN antisense leads to death of the resulting, immature neurons, probably during neurite extension. In contrast, PTEN is not required for astrocytic differentiation. These observations indicate that PTEN acts at multiple sites in the cell, regulating the transition of differentiating neuroblasts to postmitotic neurons.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the asymptotic behavior of solutions to a system of recursions u in+1 = Qi[mu n], i = 1,..., k. The results generalize those of a scalar equation studied by Weinberger.
Abstract: We study the asymptotic behavior of solutions to a system of recursions u in+1 = Qi[mu n], i = 1, ..., k. The vector operator Q has the origin theta and a positive vector beta as fixed points and is defined for vector-valued functions bounded between theta and gamma where gamma greater than or equal to beta. In addition, Q is order-preserving, commutes with translation, and is continuous in the topology of uniform convergence on compact subsets. Let theta less than or equal to pi much less than beta, and suppose that for all pi much less than alpha much less than beta, Q(n) alpha]----beta as n----infinity. If u0 much greater than pi on a sufficiently large ball and has bounded support, then un propagates with a speed c*(xi) in the direction of the unit vector xi as n----infinity. In certain cases, c*(xi) can be calculated explicitly. The results generalize those of a scalar equation studied by Weinberger.
