Genomic Introgression Between Critically Endangered and Stable Species of Darwin's Tree Finches on the Galapagos Islands by Rachael Y. Dudaniec, Sonu Yadav, Julian Catchen, Sonia Kleindorfer

“…Evidence for beneficial genes being introgressed into or selected for in hybrids raises concurrent questions about its evolutionary significance. In Darwin's tree finches on the island of Floreana (Galapagos Islands, Ecuador), the Critically Endangered medium tree finch (Camarhynchus pauper) undergoes introgression with the stable small tree finch (Camarhynchus parvulus), and hybrids regularly backcross with C. parvulus. …”

p19Arf suppresses growth, progression, and metastasis of Hras-driven carcinomas through p53-dependent and -independent pathways. by Karen S Kelly-Spratt, Kay E Gurley, Yutaka Yasui, Christopher J Kemp

“…Thus, p19(Arf) inhibits the growth rate of tumors in a p53-independent manner. Through its regulation of p53, p19(Arf) also suppresses malignant conversion and metastasis. p53 expression was upregulated in papillomas from wild-type but not p19( Arf)-null mice, and p53 mutations were more frequently seen in wild-type than in p19( Arf)-null carcinomas. …”

Possibilities for the Application of Low-Temperature Argon Plasma in the Treatment of Postoperative and Long-Term Non-Healing Wounds by S. A. Frolov, A. M. Kuzminov, D. V. Vyshegorodtsev, V. Yu. Korolik, N. V. Tuktagulov, M. A. Sukhina, I. A. Mukhin

“…Low-temperature argon plasma is an ionised gas, one of the four classical aggregate states of matter. Its therapeutic effect is achieved by means of the gas-dynamic effect, i.e. an argon flow with a high heat content and wide-spectrum recombination radiation — from the vacuum ultraviolet region to the near infrared range, as well as by means of the pronounced catalytic properties of gaseous argon, which is important for a number of biochemical reactions. …”
