Paying a woman for her eggs to use in stem cell research has been a bioethical no-no for years. But this past June, New York State decided to allow just that, becoming the first state to permit public money to be used in this way. The decision, which allows payment of up to $10,000, will likely jump-start donations--and thereby research.

Abstract Mannose receptor is a member of the C-type lectin receptor family involved in pathogen molecular pattern recognition and thought
to be critical in shaping host immune responses and maintaining homeostasis. The aim of this study was to investigate potential
associations of genetic variants in the MRC1 gene with asthma in two independent populations. Seven single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs; rs2477637, rs2253120, rs2477631,
rs2477664, rs692527, rs1926736, and rs691005) in the MRC1 gene locus were genotyped and evaluated regarding association with asthma in 870 unrelated Japanese subjects (446 asthma...

Conclusions Brain available dopamine D2 binding appears to increase following GBP. This preliminary finding needs to be replicated in
a larger population but suggests that diminished D2 binding in the obese may be due to D2 receptor downregulation. Changes
in available dopamine receptor binding may play an important role in centrally mediated appetite suppression and resultant
weight loss after LGBP.

Abstract Curcumin is a naturally occurring polyphenolic compound found in the turmeric, which is used as food additive in Indian cooking
and as a therapeutic agent in traditional Indian medicine. Curcumin is currently under investigation as a chemotherapeutic
and chemopreventive agent in adult cancer models at both pre-clinical and clinical levels. In this preliminary study, we show
that curcumin is effective in causing cell cycle arrest, inducing apoptosis, and suppressing colony formation in the Ewing
sarcoma cell line SK-NEP-1. Curcumin causes upregulation of cleaved caspase 3 and downregulation of phosph...
