TAG-1 induces apoptosis-related gene expression without triggering apoptosis in glioma cells

A recent study reported by Haigang Chang and co-workers from the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical University in China verified the effects of transient axonal glycoprotein-1 (TAG-1) on cell viability and p53, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), and amyloid precursor protein (APP) intracellular C-terminal domain (AICD) expression in U251 glioma cells.

Hippocampus has critical role in mammalian learning

Theta-band activity in hippocampus after an event seems to be crucial for learning. A study at the University of Jyv-skyl- also proved that the absence of theta facilitated learning a simple task while training during theta had no effect on learning.

Breast tomosynthesis after mammography screening may lessen use of biopsies, ultrasound

Breast tomosynthesis in the diagnostic workup for one- or two-view focal asymmetry detected at screening mammography resulted in less use of ultrasound, fewer biopsies, and higher positive predictive value for cancer than when diagnostic exams involved only 2D mammography, according to a study conducted at the University of Virginia.
