ABT-089 and ABT-894 reduce levodopa-induced dyskinesias in a monkey model of Parkinson’s disease
Here, we examined the effect of two β2 nAChR agonists, ABT-089 and ABT-894, that previously were approved for phase 2 clinical trials for other indications.

Influence of Systemic Interleukin-6 on the Inverse Association between Your-Choice American Heart Diet and a 41-Year Mortality Risk from Coronary Heart Disease among Men
Our premise is systemic inflammation measured as plasma interleukin-6 levels medicates the association between whole diet and long-term mortality risk from coronary heart disease independent of genes.

PORTR: Pre-Operative and Post-Recurrence Brain Tumor Registration
We propose a new method for deformable registration of pre-operative and post-recurrence brain MR scans of glioma patients. To address this challenging task, our method, called PORTR, explicitly accounts for…

Type IV Collagen α1-Chain Noncollagenous Domain Blocks MMP-2 Activation Both in-Vitro and in-Vivo
In the present study, the regulation of MMP-2 activation by α1(IV)NC1 was evaluated. α1β1-integrin which is required for inhibition of angiogenesis is not playing a role in cellular invasion and inhibition of…

Reduced Quality of Life When Experiencing Menstrual Pain in Women with Primary Dysmenorrhea
We investigated whether QoL varies between women with and without severe primary dysmenorrhea, and whether QoL is impaired only during menstruation or also during pain-free phases of the menstrual cycle.
