Predictive Role of Telomerase Activity in the Clinical Outcome of Patients with Benign Lesions of the Uterine Cervix or CIN by Sara Bravaccini, Andrea Amadori, Emanuela Scarpi, Maria Maddalena Tumedei, Wainer Zoli, Rosella Silvestrini

“…Telomerase, a fundamental marker of neoplastic transformation, is widely expressed in both premalignant intraepithelial lesions and in most malignant lesions of the uterine cervix. We determined telomerase activity (TA) in uterine cervix by Repeat Amplification Protocol (TRAP) in a series of 62 cases, 44 with benign diseases (inflammation and/or metaplasia and/or acanthosis) and 18 with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). …”

Mechanism for microbial population collapse in a fluctuating resource environment by Serdar Turkarslan, Arjun V Raman, Anne W Thompson, Christina E Arens, Mark A Gillespie, Frederick von Netzer, Kristina L Hillesland, Sergey Stolyar, Adrian López García de Lomana, David J Reiss, Drew Gorman‐Lewis, Grant M Zane, Jeffrey A Ranish, Judy D Wall, David A Stahl, Nitin S Baliga

“…Strikingly, the microbial community became progressively less proficient at restoring the environmentally relevant physiological state after each perturbation and most cultures collapsed within 3–7 shifts. Counterintuitively, the collapse phenomenon was prevented by a single regulatory mutation. …”
