| Deployed American troops suffering injuries to the extremities are best treated with regional anesthesia, which renders only a portion of the body, such as a limb, insensate. However, it is possible for long-lasting damage to occur when regional anesthesia is improperly applied. Though nerve block procedures present fairly low risk in a hospital setting, the same may not be true on the battlefield-where severe trauma cases are prevalent and fellowship ... |

| Interestingly, about 155 of human cancers have an inactive telomerase gene, leading to the discovery of telomerase-independent mechanisms for regaining telomeric sequences by homologous recombination referred to as alternative lengthening of telomeres(ALT). In S. cerevisiae, there are two ALT pathways controlled by Rad51 and Mre11/Rad50/Xrs2(MRX). The ALT pathway used in humans generates telomeres that resemble the MRX-dependent survivors found in yeast. Recent evidence suggests that the mismatch repair pathway, which ... |
