ICAP Reports 1: Safe Alcohol Consumption (pdf version)
ثبت نشده
چکیده
BACKGROUND In December 1995, the governments of the United Kingdom and United States independently published guidelines on alcohol consumption. The UK Sensible Drinking guidelines were designed specifically as a review of scientific and medical evidence on the effects of alcohol and of policy directed at alcohol use. The dietary guidelines issued by the US government in Nutrition and Your Health: Dietary Guidelines for Americans serve a much broader purpose, namely to “define diets which can help reduce the risk of chronic disease,” and to address alcohol as one of many dietary factors to be considered. The two sets of guidelines contain interesting similarities and differences. This paper summarizes these points.

متن کاملCorrection: ICAP-1 monoubiquitylation coordinates matrix density and rigidity sensing for cell migration through ROCK2-MRCKα balance.
Cell migration is a complex process requiring density and rigidity sensing of the microenvironment to adapt cell migratory speed through focal adhesion and actin cytoskeleton regulation. ICAP-1 (also known as ITGB1BP1), a β1 integrin partner, is essential for ensuring integrin activation cycle and focal adhesion formation. We show that ICAP-1 is monoubiquitylated bySmurf1, preventing ICAP-1bind...
