Breaking up is hard to do: why disinvestment in medical technology is harder than investment.
Healthcare technology is a two-edged sword - it offers new and better treatment to a wider range of people and, at the same time, is a major driver of increasing costs in health systems. Many countries have developed sophisticated systems of health technology assessment (HTA) to inform decisions about new investments in new healthcare interventions. In this paper, we question whether HTA is als...
متن کاملBreaking Up (Amyloid) Is Hard to Do
S tandard " Alzheimerology " lore holds that the insolubility of amyloid plaques and neurofi brillary tangles was a great impediment to elucidating the molecular composition of each of these structures. Roughly 77 years passed between Alois Alzheimer's description of the clinical and pathological features of the illness suffered by Auguste D. and the now classical reports from George Glenner, C...
متن کاملBreaking up is hard to do
The small GTPases RalA and RalB are activated downstream of oncogenic Ras. While activation of RalA is critically important for tumor initiation and growth of Ras-driven cancers, the highly similar small GTPase RalB is implicated in cell survival and metastasis. This difference in function between these two related proteins maps to the C-terminus, a 30 amino acid region that regulates subcellul...
متن کاملBreaking up is hard to do - membrane traffic in cytokinesis.
Throughout normal development, and in aberrant conditions such as cancer, cells divide by a process called cytokinesis. Most textbooks suggest that animal cells execute cytokinesis using an actomyosin-containing contractile ring, whereas plant cells generate a new cell wall by the assembly of a novel membrane compartment using vesicle-trafficking machinery in an apparently distinct manner. Rece...
متن کاملAnimal cytokinesis: Breaking up is hard to do
Recent studies have shed new light on how the physical association between sister cells is severed at the end of cytokinesis while the membrane is resealed. Comparisons with yeast suggest that daughter cell shape may feed back to regulate cytokinesis through the Bub2 checkpoint system.
