Article Synopsis
- - AST-004 is a small molecule that targets adenosine receptors and shows promise for protecting the brain after strokes and injuries, aiming to assess its safety and how it's processed in the body during a phase I clinical trial on healthy individuals.
- - The study involved giving varying doses of AST-004 to different groups of participants and then analyzing its levels in blood, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and urine; no serious side effects were observed, though headaches were reported by some.
- - Findings indicated that AST-004 is safe at higher concentrations than previously effective in animal studies and that it reaches highest levels in CSF an hour after infusion, suggesting it may be suitable for further testing in treating strokes and brain injuries.
Cancer care organizations often struggle to adequately address the unique needs of adolescent and young adult cancer patients, resulting in poorer outcomes compared with other age groups. Creation of adolescent and young adult cancer programs serves to bridge this gap and improve quality of care for this population. We aimed to describe the evolution and impact of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's Adolescent and Young Adult Cancer Program.

Fat-tailed dwarf lemurs (Cheirogaleus medius), primates endemic to Madagascar, are obligate hibernators that form stable, lifelong pairs in the wild. Given the temporal constraints imposed by seasonal hibernation, infant dwarf lemurs must grow, develop, and wean within the first two months of life. Maternal as well as paternal infant care, observed in the wild, has been deemed critical for infant survival.
