Suicide attempt linked to breakdown he Golgi apparatus breaks down temporarily to segregate into daughter cells during mitosis, but during apoptosis the organelle fragments irreversibly. On page 637, Chiu et al. report that cleavage of a critical tethering protein during apoptosis not only drives the fragmentation of the Golgi apparatus, but also appears to help propagate the apoptotic signal. ...

Available data leave considerable uncertainty regarding actual risk of suicide attempt and death by suicide during antidepressant treatment. The authors used population-based data to evaluate the risk of suicide death and seri...

BACKGROUND Previous studies have noted that a past suicide attempt (SA) predicts a future SA, but few studies have reported whether previous SAs that predict a future attempt differ from those that do not. Knowing which characteristics of previous SAs predict future attempts would assist in evaluating adolescents at risk of attempt repetition. This longitudinal study of an unreferred sample exa...
