Carotenoids in Staple Cereals: Metabolism, Regulation, and Genetic Manipulation

Carotenoids play a critical role in animal and human health. Animals and humans are unable to synthesize carotenoids de novo, and therefore rely upon diet as sources of these compounds. However, major staple cereals often contain only small amounts of carotenoids in their grains. Consequently, there is considerable interest in genetic manipulation of carotenoid content in cereal grain. In this ...

What future for vascular neurosurgery?

What future for vascular neurosurgery? Vascular neurosurgery has always been at the forefront of neurosurgical advances, requiring a combination of decision making, critical care support, microsurgical skill, and advanced surgical technology. The need to secure unstable intracranial aneurysms was identifi ed by Harvey Cushing (1923), but the fi rst modern-era clipping procedure was performed by...

Genetic predisposition to schizophrenia: what did we learn and what does the future hold?

Schizophrenia is a complex, devastating brain disorder with clear genetic and environmental contributions to the emergence of the disease. In the last several decades of research hundreds of millions of dollars were spent of the elusive search for schizophrenia susceptibility genes, but the results have been meager. Researchers have identified a number of genetic variants that predispose the br...
