    Description: Structural maturation of fiber tracts in the human brain, including an increase in the diameter and myelination of axons, may play a role in cognitive development during childhood and adolescence. A computational analysis of structural magnetic resonance images obtained in 111 children and adolescents revealed age-related increases in white matter density in fiber tracts constituting putative corticospinal and frontotemporal pathways. The maturation of the corticospinal tract was bilateral, whereas that of the frontotemporal pathway was found predominantly in the left (speech-dominant) hemisphere. These findings provide evidence for a gradual maturation, during late childhood and adolescence, of fiber pathways presumably supporting motor and speech functions.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Paus, T -- Zijdenbos, A -- Worsley, K -- Collins, D L -- Blumenthal, J -- Giedd, J N -- Rapoport, J L -- Evans, A C -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1999 Mar 19;283(5409):1908-11.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Montreal Neurological Institute, McGill University, 3801 University Street, Montreal, Quebec H3A 2B4, Canada. tomas@bic.mni.mcgill.ca〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10082463" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: A human intestinal intraepithelial lymphocyte (IEL) T cell line was established from jejunum to characterize the structure and function of the alpha beta T cell antigen receptors (TCRs) expressed by this population. Single-sided polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification cloning and quantitative PCR amplification of the TCR chains from the cell line and from fresh IELs demonstrated that IELs were oligoclonal. The IEL T cell line exhibited CD1-specific cytotoxicity and a dominant IEL T cell clone was CD1c-specific. Thus, human jejunal intraepithelial lymphocytes are oligoclonal and recognize members of the CD1 gene family.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Balk, S P -- Ebert, E C -- Blumenthal, R L -- McDermott, F V -- Wucherpfennig, K W -- Landau, S B -- Blumberg, R S -- 5 KO8 DK01886/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- CA-01310/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- DK42166/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1991 Sep 20;253(5026):1411-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Hematology-Oncology Division, Beth Israel Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02215.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1716785" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Regulated transcription controls the diversity, developmental pathways and spatial organization of the hundreds of cell types that make up a mammal. Using single-molecule cDNA sequencing, we mapped transcription start sites (TSSs) and their usage in human and mouse primary cells, cell lines and tissues to produce a comprehensive overview of mammalian gene expression across the human body. We find that few genes are truly 'housekeeping', whereas many mammalian promoters are composite entities composed of several closely separated TSSs, with independent cell-type-specific expression profiles. TSSs specific to different cell types evolve at different rates, whereas promoters of broadly expressed genes are the most conserved. Promoter-based expression analysis reveals key transcription factors defining cell states and links them to binding-site motifs. The functions of identified novel transcripts can be predicted by coexpression and sample ontology enrichment analyses. The functional annotation of the mammalian genome 5 (FANTOM5) project provides comprehensive expression profiles and functional annotation of mammalian cell-type-specific transcriptomes with wide applications in biomedical research.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4529748/" target="_blank"〉〈img

    Notes: Summary A synergistic effect has been demonstrated when magnesium and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) are used together in solution to delay the conversion of a slurry of amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) to crystalline hydroxyapatite (HA). Conversion is delayed in some instances more than 10 times as long as with either ATP or Mg alone. In all experiments conversion did not begin until ATP in solution had decreased through hydrolysis to an undetectable level. The effect of Mg is to decrease substantially the rate at which ATP hydrolysis occurs. Once conversion began it proceeded more slowly in the presence of both Mg and ATP than with Mg or ATP alone. ATP was also found to prevent the formation of HA from metastable solutions of calcium and phosphate which did not contain any solid phase. Over the time period of these experiments, ATP hydrolyzed to a negligible extent in Tris-HCl buffer and in solutions containing Ca, PO4, and Ca plus PO4 ions. Hydrolysis of ATP does occur in the presence of ACP or HA, presumably by transphosphorylation on the surface of the solid calcium phosphate phase. It was concluded that ATP stabilized ACP, not by affecting its dissolution, but either by poisoning heteronuclear growth sites, or by poisoning the growth of embryonic HA nuclei (formed heterogeneously or homogeneously) before their critical size is reached, or by poisoning both. In the case of embryonic HA nuclei, the poisoned nuclei would go back into solution preventing HA crystal formation. In addition, it was found that the neutral Ca9(PO4)6 clusters, which are believed to be the basic structural unit of ACP, break down into individual Ca and PO4 ions when ACP dissolves in aqueous medium.

    Notes: Summary When amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) was transformed to crystalline hydroxyapatite (HA) in a series of aqueous slurry concentrations ranging from low to high, the higher slurry concentrations produced more Ca-deficient HA as measured by Ca/P ratio and heat-produced pyrophosphate. We feel that the excess solution phosphate produced in the higher slurry transformations results in lower Ca/P ratio HA. It has been suggested that an ACP is the precursor to bone apatite. Regulation of the in vivo ACP slurry concentration could then control the stoichiometry and, therefore, the metabolic activity of bone apatite. X-ray radial distribution function (RDF) analyses showed that CO 3 2− substitution in HA creates far greater structural distortions than do Ca deficiencies. The latter, however, do produce small, but observable, structural distortions when compared to stoichiometric HA. It now seems clear that the RDF of bone apatite can be modeled by a synthetic, Ca-deficient, CO 3 2− -containing HA.

    Notes: Summary Well-characterized bovine nasal proteoglycan A1 fraction (aggregate) and proteoglycan D1 fraction (subunit) have been shown to be effective inhibitors of hydroxyapatite (HA) formation in two in vitro test systems: (a) the transformation of amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) to crystalline HA, and, (b) the direct precipitation of HA from low-concentration calcium phosphate solutions. A1 or D1 in solution slowed the transformation kinetics in system (a) without affecting the time to the onset of conversion. In system (b), A1 or D1 in solution increased the time to the onset of HA formation without affecting the HA formation kinetics. In both test systems A1 was a more effective inhibitor than D1, although the difference was not great. In both systems the inhibitory effect was proportional to the A1 or D1 solution concentration. The action of solutions of low and high molecular weight neutral dextrans on both test systems showed that high molecular weight and/or extended spatial molecular conformation has a much stronger correlation with inhibitory ability than solution viscosity. Proteoglycans have been implicated as playing a role in regulating biological mineralization particularly in the epiphyseal growth plate. Our study suggests that just enzymatic cleavage of aggregate into subunit is not sufficient to allow mineralization to occur, since we find that D1 itself is a potent inhibitor of HA formation. Further degradation and/or removal of D1 appears to be necessary for calcification to take place.
