Genetics Institute Inc.和Whitehead Institute发现EPO受体

两个研究机构的研究人员叙述了登在4月21日《CELL》杂成上的他们的发现。际为EPO的红细胞生成素,是由肾天然产生的激素,它的作用是调节人体细胞的产生。受体是附着在未成熟红细胞外表面的一种蛋白质。当EPO与其受体结合时,便触发了细胞对激素的反应。预测EPO受体的研究将有助于进一步了解红细胞成熟的过程,并能改进对患有威胁生命的血液病的儿童和成人的治疗方法。这一突破还使研究者得以鉴别激素的活性部位并有助于研制模拟EPO活性的底物。

The World Maritime University—Sasakawa Global Ocean Institute: A New Institute in a Unique University

Abstract

Building capacity in ocean affairs, the law of the sea, and marine scientific research in relation to the needs of developing countries is an integral part of the U. Convention on the Law of the Sea and associated instruments, including the International Maritime Organization (IMO) treaty regime. This article traces the development of capacity-building initiatives at the World Maritime University (WMU) over the past three decades, including the establishment of the WMU–Sasakawa Global Ocean Institute in 2018. The establishment of the new institute should be viewed within the wider context of the extraordinary philanthropy of the Sasakawa Peace Foundation and the Nippon Foundation in building human resource capacity and in supporting advanced academic research on complicated and contentious ocean issues. The article describes the extensive consultation process that informs the research, education, and capacity development agenda of the new institute, including work on the ocean-related goals of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

Lessons Learned as President of the Institute for Systems Biology(2000–2018)

正I stepped down as president of the Institute for Systems Biology(ISB)on Jan 1,2018.As I think about my 17-year term as President,I am astounded at how much I have learned,not only about science but also about,among other things,what it takes to build a unique world-class institution.The beginningsI came to the non-pro?t,independent ISB from 30 years in academia.For 22 years,I was a faculty member of Division of Biology at the California Institute of Technology(Caltech),     

The Sun Health Research Institute Brain Donation Program: Description and Eexperience, 1987–2007

The Brain Donation Program at Sun Health Research Institute has been in continual operation since 1987, with over 1000 brains banked. The population studied primarily resides in the retirement communities of northwest metropolitan Phoenix, Arizona. The Institute is affiliated with Sun Health, a nonprofit community-owned and operated health care provider. Subjects are enrolled prospectively to allow standardized clinical assessments during life. Funding comes primarily from competitive grants. The Program has made short postmortem brain retrieval a priority, with a 2.75-h median postmortem interval for the entire collection. This maximizes the utility of the resource for molecular studies; frozen tissue from approximately 82% of all cases is suitable for RNA studies. Studies performed in-house have shown that, even with very short postmortem intervals, increasing delays in brain retrieval adversely affect RNA integrity and that cerebrospinal fluid pH increases with postmortem interval but does not predict tissue viability.     

The Oswaldo Cruz Institute and its relationship with other biomedical research centers in São Paulo

This paper deals with the relationships between the Oswaldo Cruz Institute, a biomedical institution which was founded in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) in the beginning of the 20th century, and other similar institutions founded in S?o Paulo during the same period, especially the Butantan and the Biological Institutes. The analysis comprehends the three first decades of the 20th century. The paper starts with a comparative presentation of the trajectory of these three institutions, showing the reasons which determined the great influence the Oswaldo Cruz Institute exerted on the other two. Then, it analyses these influences, principally on the basis of the interchange of researchers among the institutions. It concludes by showing that, due to the institutions' greater professionalization, these influences were increasingly turned into integration.
