Increased endothelial cell proliferation is a hallmark of arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) in hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT). Here, we report a cyclin-dependent kinase 6 (CDK6)-driven mechanism of cell cycle deregulation involved in endothelial cell proliferation and HHT pathology. Specifically, endothelial cells from the livers of HHT mice bypassed the G1/S checkpoint and progressed through the cell cycle at an accelerated pace.

Methods: DCR and other stakeholders reviewed up to ten unique zone configurations for each of Delaware's three counties. The zone configurations were created using AZTool and were set to optimize three objectives: create zones that have a minimum and target population of 50,000; are homogenous based on the variables of percent minority, percent below poverty, and percent urban; and are as compact as possible.
Tandem CCCH zinc finger (TZF) proteins play diverse roles in plant growth and stress response. Although as many as 11 TZF proteins have been identified in , little is known about the mechanism by which TZF proteins select and regulate the target mRNAs. Here, we report that TZF1 is a bona-fide stress granule protein.

DPH's Physical Activity, Nutrition and Obesity Prevention Program (PANO) introduced the initiative as Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) swept through the state, exacerbating health burdens already faced by many Delawareans. The PANO Program provides administrative staff support to the Delaware Cancer Consortium's Cancer Risk Reduction Committee (CRRC).
