Life-or-Death Decisions upon Axonal Damage
In this issue of Neuron, Hu et al. (2012) report that upon axonal damage, CHOP and XBP1 unfolded protein response pathways are not recruited equally and have opposite effects on neuronal survival. XBP1 pathway boosting may represent a valuable neuroprotective strategy.
متن کاملLife or Death Decisions: Framing the Call for Help
BACKGROUND Chronic blood shortages in the U.S. would be alleviated by small increases, in percentage terms, of people donating blood. The current research investigated the effects of subtle changes in charity-seeking messages on the likelihood of people responses to a call for help. We predicted that "avoid losses" messages would lead to more helping behavior than "promote gains" messages would...
متن کاملRisk based urban watershed management under conflicting objectives.
Ecological impairment and flooding caused by urbanization can be expressed numerically by calculating the risks throughout the watershed (floodplain) and along the main stems of the streams. The risks can be evaluated in terms of the present and/or future. This article describes the methodologies for ascertaining the risks in the Geographical Information Systems (GIS) environment. The objective...
متن کاملProteolysis and the biochemistry of life-or-death decisions
A Poptosis, the process by which cells commit suicide, is ubiquitous in both normal and diseased tissues, and its mechanism is conserved in animal species from humans at least to nematodes. Apoptotic cells undergo a stereotypical set of changes--shrinkage, cleavage of nuclear DNA, condensation of chromatin, fragmentation of the cytoplasm-that distinguish them from cells dying by other means. In...
متن کاملMediating life and death decisions.
Assume for just a moment that you are lying in a nursing home bed. You have advanced Alzheimer's disease, that is, you cannot walk, you cannot bathe, dress, or feed yourself, or carry out your most private of functions. You no longer recognize your family or your caretakers. You are not in pain but your cognitive awareness is significantly limited. Your disease has reached a point where you can...
