Differential function of Themis CABIT domains during T cell development. by Toshiyuki Okada, Takeshi Nitta, Kentaro Kaji, Akiko Takashima, Hiroyo Oda, Norimasa Tamehiro, Motohito Goto, Tadashi Okamura, Michael S Patrick, Harumi Suzuki

“…Furthermore, expression of ΔCore1- but not ΔCore2-Themis conferred dominant negative-type inhibition on T cell development. Collectively, our current results indicate that PRS, NLS, CABIT1, and CABIT2 are all required for positive selection, and that each of the CABIT domains exerts distinct functions during positive selection.…”

Mood disorders in the elderly: prevalence, functional impact, and management challenges by Valiengo L, Stella F, Forlenza OV

“…In the present study, we review the most relevant studies on prevalence, clinical presentation, and cognitive/functional impact of mood disorders in elderly. Several clinical–epidemiological studies were dedicated to the study of the prevalence of mood disorders in old age in distinct settings; however, fewer studies investigated the underlying neurobiological findings and treatment specificities in late-life depression and BD. …”
