Using Northern blot analysis, immunoblotting with purified antibodies and Polymerase Chain Reaction analysis, we were unable to detect the Uncoupling Protein-UCP or its mRNA in liver of control, cold-exposed or newborn rats. The unique expression of this protein in brown adipocytes was confirmed. These data refute the surprising recent report on UCP expression in rat liver (Shinohara (1991) FEBS Lett. 293, 173-174). Moreover we report that the hybridization signal obtained by these authors is probably non-specific and due to the 3' non-coding domain of the UCP cDNA probe.

Article Synopsis
- The phase 3 JAVELIN Renal 101 trial showed that first-line treatment with avelumab plus axitinib improves objective response rate (ORR) and progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma (aRCC) compared to sunitinib.
- A retrospective study in Japan analyzed clinical data from 48 aRCC patients treated with avelumab plus axitinib, revealing a 48.8% ORR and a median PFS of 15.3 months, with a median follow-up of 10.4 months.
- The study found that 50% of patients were still on treatment at the cutoff, and the

Nowadays, there are several human attachment measures, most in the form of questionnaires that assess adult attachment styles. This study investigates the use of Feeney, Noller, Hanrahan, Sperling and Berman's five-factors Attachment Style Questionnaire (ASQ, 1994), based on Bartholomew's four-factors model (1991), and Hazan and Shaver's three-factors model (1987). Nevertheless, no robust study has explored the ASQ questionnaire in Spanish compared to other cultures, such as Italian and Japanese.

Background: Hypertension is heritable, and genetic factors likely exert an effect from childhood. Puberty is an early life milestone that may relate to adult hypertension. Therefore, this study examined whether there is an association between a family history of hypertension and pubertal growth.
