The PPAR Ω Pocket: Renewed Opportunities for Drug Development by Åsmund Kaupang, Trond Vidar Hansen

“…The discoveries that lie at the heart of these developments have enabled the design of a new class of PPARγ ligands, capable of isolating central therapeutic effects of PPARγ modulation, while displaying markedly lower toxicities than previous generations of PPARγ ligands. This review examines the emerging framework around the design of these ligands and seeks to unite its principles with the development of new classes of ligands for PPARα and PPARβ/δ. …”

Sleep deficiencies and suicidal ideation across the psychosis continuum by Heather M. Wastler, Alexandra M. Blouin, Melissa F. V. Kilicoglu, Melanie Bozzay

“…The current study addressed this gap in the literature by examining the relationship between sleep deficiencies, recent suicidal ideation, and lifetime suicidal behavior across the psychosis continuum.MethodA retrospective chart review was used to obtain relevant data for individuals at clinical high-risk for psychosis (CHR-P), individuals with first-episode psychosis (FEP), and individuals with longstanding illness.ResultsResults indicate that sleep deficiencies are prevalent across all stages of illness, though individuals at CHR-P have significantly higher rates of sleep deficiency than individuals with FEP and longstanding psychosis. …”

Madame Bovary ? elle habitait là-bas... by Ida Merello

“…This type of criticism continues: for example, recently Daniel Fauvel has just discovered another “Delamare case”. My article gives reviews the readings of Madame Bovary, especially in Normandy, since the publication of the work until now, to show how the links have been forged between Flaubert's life (and the people he known) and the characters of his book, to the point of creating real intrigues, which also bring into play the name of Bovary to find a number of explanations in relation to the knowledge, both familiar, of the writer. …”

The Role of TGFβ Signaling in Squamous Cell Cancer: Lessons from Mouse Models by Adam B. Glick

“…The mouse skin carcinogenesis model has been a useful tool to dissect the function of this pathway in cancer pathogenesis, with transgenic and null mice as well as small molecule inhibitors to alter the function of the TGFβ1 pathway and assess the effects on cancer development. This paper will review data on changes in TGFβ1 signaling in human SCC primarily HNSCC and cutaneous SCC and different mouse models that have been generated to investigate the relevance of these changes to cancer. …”
