Sequence Analysis of How Disability Influenced Life Trajectories in a Past Population from the Nineteenth-Century Sundsvall Region, Sweden by Lotta Vikström, Helena Haage, Erling Häggström Lundevaller

“…Secondary findings concerning migration and mortality indicate that the disabled rarely out-migrated from the region, and they suffered from premature deaths. To our knowledge this is the first study to employ sequence analysis on a substantially large number of cases to provide demographic evidence of how disability shaped human trajectories in the past during an extended period of life. …”

Disseminated Exfoliative Dermatitis Associated with All-Transretinoic Acid in the Treatment of Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia by Yonal Ipek, Dogru Hulya, Aktan Melih

“…All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) is a subgroup of the retinoid family, which induces complete remission (CR) in APL by causing differentiation and apoptosis in immature malignant promyelocytes rather than inducing cell death by cytotoxicity (Warrell et al. (1993), Liu et al. (2000), and Cassinat et al. (2001)). …”

Relationship between Zinc (Zn2+) and Glutamate Receptors in the Processes Underlying Neurodegeneration by Bartłomiej Pochwat, Gabriel Nowak, Bernadeta Szewczyk

“…On the one hand, glutamate transmission is necessary for neuroplasticity, synaptogenesis, or cell survival, but on the other hand an excessive and long-lasting increased level of glutamate in the synapse may lead to cell death. Under clinical conditions, hyperactivity of the glutamate system is associated with ischemia, epilepsy, and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Huntington’s, and many others. …”

Clot Formation in the Sipunculid Worm Themiste petricola: A Haemostatic and Immune Cellular Response by Tomás Lombardo, Guillermo A. Blanco

“…The mass with sealing properties is brought about by homotypic aggregation of granular leukocytes present in the coelomic fluid that undergo a rapid process of fusion and cell death forming a homogenous clot or mass. The clot structure appears to be stabilized by abundant F-actin that creates a fibrous scaffold retaining cell-derived components. …”

Guards and decoys: RIPoptosome and inflammasome pathway regulators of bacterial effector-triggered immunity. by Haleema Sadia Malik, James B Bliska

“…Here, we review the origins of ETI and focus on 5 mechanisms, in which the key steps of a pathway can include activation of a caspase by a RIPoptosome or inflammasome, formation of pores in the plasma membrane, release of cytokines and ending in cell death by pyroptosis. Survey of the 5 mechanisms, which have been shown to be host protective in mouse models of bacterial infection, reveal how distinct regulators of RIPoptosome or inflammasome pathways can act as guards or integrated decoys to trigger ETI. …”
