	Webvision: Morphology and Circuitry of Ganglion cells
		Ganglion cells are larger on average than most preceding retinal interneurons and have large diameter axons capable of passing the electrical signal, in the form of transient spike trains, to the retinal recipient areas of the brain many millimeters or centimeters distant from the retina.
		The commonest ganglion cells types of the primate fovea are the P cells or midget ganglion cells and the bistratified blue-on/yellow-off ganglion cell.
		Although some of Polyak's giant cells are by cell body size and dendritic tree size characteristics undoubtedly the equivalent of Golgi-stained M cells in far peripheral retina (Kolb et al., 1992; Rodieck et al., 1985; Watanabe and Rodieck., 1989) and of the large-bodied, multibranched reduced silver stained cells of Silveira and Perry (1991).

	Deductions about the Hopfield-Brody Mouse
		Gamma cells are said to be similar except for their timeconstants which are shorter (6ms) than those of alpha and beta cells, and the peak currents are three times as large.
		In our original deductions we suggested that any alpha cells that were firing at the same rate when the end of word arrived, and were thus potentially synchronizable, should have a positive connection between them, and positive connections to the gamma neuron.
		The simplest way (but perhaps this is not biologically plausible) is to have every alpha cell paired up with an identically tuned beta cell, and wherever there is a connection from alpha cell i to another cell j, there should be an equal-strength connection from the corresponding beta cell i to the same cell j.

		The cells were then sedimented by centrifugation at 16,000 g for 2 s (Beckman, Microfuge E, Fullerton, CA), washed with 0.8 ml of the basic medium, and resedimented within 30 s (in previous experiments with RlNm5F cells, [[.sup.3]H]glyburide dissociated with a halftime of [greater than] 2 h).
		Cells were statically incubated at 37 [degrees] C for 0.5 h without fuel and then for 1 h with various fuel secretagogues.
		The cell was maintained without glucose and observed for 10 min; in our hands, however, whole-cell sulfonylurea-sensitive [K.sup.+] currents develop more consistently in the presence of extracellular glucose, and they peak 11 min after obtaining the whole-cell configuration [51] (Table 2).

		Cells containing IN were first detected in knockout embryos on d 15 of development, 5 d later than in wild-type littermates.
		In addition, lack of PC2 perturbed the pattern of expression of transcription factors presumed to be involved in the determination of the mature alpha-cell phenotype.
		In addition to the effects on islet cell differentiation, the absence of PC2 activity resulted in a 3-fold increase in the rate of proliferation of proglucagon cells during the perinatal period.

		Purification of TCF-1 alpha, a T-cell-specific transcription factor that activates the T-cell receptor C alpha gene enhancer in a context-dependent manner.
		The differentiation of T cells into functionally diverse subpopulations is controlled in part, by transcriptional activation and silencing; however, little is known in detail about the proteins that influence this developmental process.
		TCF-1 alpha, originally identified and purified through its binding sites on the HIV-1 promoter, was found to bind to the TCR alpha enhancer and to promoters for several genes expressed at significantly earlier stages of T-cell development than the TCR alpha gene (e.g., p56lck and CD3 delta).

		Retinoids (vitamin A derivatives) and interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha) are potent regulators of malignant cell differentiation and proliferation, and both have immunomodulatory and antiangiogenesis activity.
		Our purpose was to test whether a 20% or greater complete response rate could be achieved using a combination of these two agents in patients with advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the skin in whom local therapy had failed or was unfeasible or who had regional and/or distant metastases.
		Thirty-two patients with heavily pretreated, advanced inoperable cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma of the skin were given a combination of oral 13-cRA (1 mg/kg per day) and subcutaneous recombinant human IFN alpha-2a (3 million units per day) for at least 2 months, unless disease progressed earlier, in a phase II trial.

		This is most generally noted for the [beta]-cell population, where increased demand for insulin because of obesity, peripheral insulin resistance, or gestation leads to an enlarged [beta]-cell population and increased activity of the [beta]-cells (rev. in 5,6).
		This ability to increase and decrease both activity and cell populations allows for a highly dynamic structure that is finely attuned to normal metabolic demands, but which may be disturbed in diabetes and other disorders.
		PC[2.sup.-/-] mice exhibit alterations in islet cell populations with dramatic hyperplasia of the [alpha]-cells (2).

	Faculty, Duke University Department of Immunology
		As our studies implicate the TCR delta and TCR alpha enhancers as region-specific developmental regulators of VDJ recombination within the TCR alpha/delta locus, they raise the question of how the regulatory effects of these enhancers are limited to discrete regions of the locus.
		Secreted chemokines are thought to be immobilized both on cell surfaces and in the extracellular matrix on the basis of their ability to bind to glycosaminoglycans, and are then thought to be "presented" to target cells carrying specific chemokine receptors.

		Wollheim's team used conventional pancreas perfusion and a transcriptional targeting technique to evaluate signal transduction in alpha-cells and the interaction of alpha- and beta-cells.
		The researchers found that alpha-cells released glucagon in response to pyruvate, the principle substrate of mitochondria.
		In their test system, the authors found that this situation activates beta-cells to release a substance that suppresses glucagon secretion by the alpha-cells, which may serve to prevent a further rise in glucose levels.
