Novel homozygous mutations in the osteoprotegerin gene TNFRSF11B in two unrelated patients with juvenile Paget's disease.
Most patients with juvenile Paget's disease (JPD) are homozygous for mutations in the gene TNFRSF11B that result in deficiency of osteoprotegerin (OPG) - a key regulator of bone turnover. So far, about 10 different OPG mutations have been described. The current study presents two novel OPG mutations in JPD patients. Pa...

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome: a risk factor for Stanford's type B aortic dissection.
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) has been associated with aortic dissection (AD), but the magnitude of this association and its independence from confounders have not yet been established. A cross-sectional study was performed in 82 patients with Stanford's Type B AD and 116 controls from May 2009 to October 201...

Human DNA polymerase iota (Pol ι) is a Y-family polymerase that can bypass various DNA lesions but possesses very low fidelity of DNA synthesis in vitro. Structural analysis of Pol ι revealed a narrow active site that promotes noncanonical base-pairing during catalysis. To better understand the structure-function relat...

Efficient removal of arsenic (V) from water using steel-making slag.
This study describes the potential use of steel-making slag as an arsenic-removal medium. Systematic analysis of slag material revealed a composition of oxides of calcium, iron, silicon, and phosphorous. Under the experimental conditions of this study, the equilibrium time was shown to be 2 hours, and the removal capac...

Incorporating a compact proton therapy unit into an existing National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer center.
Proton beams offer specific dosimetric advantages for radiation therapy. Their depth-dose relationship is characterized by the Bragg peak beyond which no dose is deposited. The elimination of exit dose for passively scattered proton beams results in greatly reduced low and intermediate doses to distant uninvolved norma...

In situ metabolic analysis of single plant cells by capillary microsampling and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry with ion mobility separation.
Advances in single cell analysis techniques have demonstrated cell-to-cell variability in both homogeneous and heterogeneous cell populations strengthening our understanding of multicellular organisms and individual cell behaviour. However, additional tools are needed for non-targeted metabolic analysis of live single ...

Lorcaserin, a selective 5-HT(2C) receptor agonist, decreases alcohol intake in female alcohol preferring rats.
Serotonergic systems in the brain have been found to be important in the addiction to alcohol. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a novel 5-HT2c receptor agonist, lorcaserin for reducing alcohol consumption in alcohol-preferring (P) rats. Adult female rats were allowed to drink water or alcohol (...

Alternative method of allelic discrimination.
5' nuclease assays for allelic discrimination use both a wild-type and a mutant probe. Here we present a new method for genotyping by 5' nuclease assays that dispenses with the mutant probe, using the wild-type probe together with a probe for a reference gene known to be present in two copies to determine the copy numb...

Cytoplasmic dynein is a dimeric motor that transports intracellular cargoes towards the minus end of microtubules (MTs).

Here, by engineerin...
