E. Donnall Thomas (1920-2012).

E . Donnall Thomas, M.D., Emeritus Director of the Clinical Research Division of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and Emeritus Professor of Medicine at the University of Washington in Seattle, was once called a humble humanitarian. That was when he already had received the Nobel Prize for Medicine and Physiology in 1990—but this is only one side of the man who had been a dedicated res...

Volpe and Thomas F . Lüscher

Oxidative stress affects the availability of key-regulators of vascular homeostasis and controls a number of signaling pathways relevant to myocardial and vascular disease. Reactive oxygen species are generated by different intracellular molecular pathways principally located in mitochondria. The notion that mice carrying a targeted mutation of the p66 gene display prolonged lifespan, reduced p...

New Records of the Hotson's Jerboa Allactaga hotsoni, Thomas, 1920 (Rodentia: Dipodidae) from Khorasan and Yazd Provinces, Iran

A total of five specimens of Allactaga hotsoni were captured in Khorasan and Yazd provinces, Iran, in summer 2004 and 2005. The specimens are similar to those described previously from Baluchistan of Iran and Afghanistan. For the first time a karyological study was carried out to make a comparison with the other species. On the basis of karyological study there is not any significant difference...

M 82 - F : A Doomed Super Star Cluster ? ⋆

We present high dispersion echelle spectroscopy of the very luminous, young super star cluster (SSC) ‘F’ in M82, obtained with the 4.2-m William Herschel Telescope (WHT), for the purpose of deriving its dynamical mass and assessing whether it will survive to become an old globular cluster. In addition to the stellar lines, the spectrum contains complex Na I absorption and broad emission lines f...
