Postpartum depression (PPD) is the most common complication of childbearing with a 13% prevalence rate. Sleep disturbances are also common, particularly during early postpartum. In theory, l-tryptophan could improve sleep and reduce depressed mood in early postpartum; however, the first

As a continuation of our research efforts toward the development of tryptophan-based radiotracers for tumor imaging with positron emission tomography (PET), three new fluoroethoxy tryptophan analogues were synthesized and evaluated in vivo. These new tracers (namely, 4-(2-[(18)F]fluoroethoxy)-dl-tryptophan ([(18)F]4-FEHTP), 6-(2-[(18)F]fluoroethoxy)-dl-tryptophan ([(18)F]6-FEHTP)

The yeast high osmolarity glycerol (HOG) pathway activates the Hog1 MAP kinase, which coordinates adaptation to high osmolarity conditions. Here we demonstrate that the four-transmembrane (TM) domain protein Sho1 is an osmosensor in the HKR1 sub-branch of the HOG pathway.

Recent candidate gene and genome-wide association studies have identified "protective" associations between the single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs1837253 in the TSLP gene and risk for allergy, asthma, and airway hyperresponsiveness. The absence of linkage disequilibrium of rs1837253 with other SNPs in
