Background: A growing population of patients is seeking treatments that not only affect their overlying features but also restore a more biologically youthful structure and function to the underlying tissue. These strategies are part of what is known as regenerative aesthetics (RA). As an emergent field, clarity regarding the precise definitions and aims of RA and methods to measure the regenerative capacity of RA treatments are lacking.

Cables formed by head-to-tail polymerization of tropomyosin, localized along the length of sarcomeric and cytoskeletal actin filaments, play a key role in regulating a wide range of motile and contractile processes. The stability of tropomyosin cables, their interaction with actin filaments and the functional properties of the resulting co-filaments are thought to be affected by N-terminal acetylation of tropomyosin. Here, we present high-resolution structures of cables formed by acetylated and unacetylated Schizosaccharomyces pombe tropomyosin ortholog Tpm.

Background: Peripheral nodal B-cell lymphomas (PNBCL) represent the most common presentation of lymphomas in dogs. Multiagent CHOP (C = cyclophosphamide, H = hydroxydaunorubicin [Doxorubicin], O = Oncovin, P = prednisolone)-based chemotherapy protocols have been widely accepted as gold standard 1st-line treatment. CHOP-25 and CHOP-19 are most commonly prescribed but have never been directly compared.
