Targeting Mindsets, Not Just Tumors

Mind over milkshakes: mindsets, not just nutrients, determine ghrelin response.

OBJECTIVE To test whether physiological satiation as measured by the gut peptide ghrelin may vary depending on the mindset in which one approaches consumption of food. METHODS On 2 separate occasions, participants (n = 46) consumed a 380-calorie milkshake under the pretense that it was either a 620-calorie "indulgent" shake or a 140-calorie "sensible" shake. Ghrelin was measured via intraveno...

TRAIL: not just for tumors anymore?

Since the discovery of TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) and its network of receptors, the majority of attention has focused on the clinical potential of manipulating this pathway in cancer therapy. However, the widespread expression of TRAIL under inflammatory conditions and the ability to induce both apoptotic and prosurvival signaling pathways has suggested that TRAIL plays broad...

BRCA Associated Tumors—Not Just Breast and Ovarian Cancer

Several attempts have been made in the past at imaging the fetus at 3T as part of the continuous search for increased image signal and better anatomic delineation of the developing fetus. Until now, imaging of the fetus at 3T has been disappointing, with numerous artifacts impeding image analysis. Improved technology now allows imaging of the fetus at greater magnetic strength, while still enco...
