The American Society for Neural Therapy and Repair (ASNTR) started 30 years ago in 1993 as the American Society for Neural Transplantation (ASNT), with an emphasis on neural transplantation. Through the years, the Society has been shaped as much by our expanding knowledge of neurodegenerative disorders and how to treat them as it has by politics and culture. What once felt like a leash on neuroscience research, has turned into an advantage as neural transplantation evolved into Neural Therapy and Repair. As a Co-Founder this brief commentary provides a personalized account of our research during the Society's years.

Exposure of avian mothers to stressful conditions permanently alters offspring behavior and physiology. Yet, the effects of maternal stress on the development of offspring immunity in birds remain unclear, particularly in wild species. We injected Eastern bluebird (Sialia sialis) eggs with either a corticosterone or control solution, then measured the impacts on nestling morphology and two measures of immunity, bactericidal capacity and swelling responses to phytohemagglutinin.

Background: Venous blood gas and acid-base analysis is often performed in cats and requires appropriate reference intervals (RIs) for interpretation. The currently available RIs were created from small numbers of cats, while current guidelines suggest that a minimum number of 40 samples is required for the creation of an accurate/appropriate RI.
Key Findings: In 41 healthy awake cats, pH, PCO, PO, sodium, potassium, ionized calcium, chloride, glucose, and plasma lactate concentrations were measured, while bicarbonate, standardized base excess, and anion gap were calculated.

Purpose: Minimally invasive percutaneous techniques offer a promising alternative to open surgical repair of the Achilles tendon. However, the possibilities of recurrent rupture and nerve complications remain. Hence, the present study was conducted to describe a modified repair technique for the Achilles tendon able to overcome these limitations.

Background And Objective: Lung cancer recurrence after complete surgical resection of early-stage T1-T2N0 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains a problem due to unrecognized micrometastatic disease. The objective of this review is to present and summarize data from major randomized trials in which have studied the survival benefit of adjuvant therapy for early-stage NSCLC.
Methods: Information used to write this paper was collected from PubMed and the National Clinical Trial registry from the National Library of Medicine.

For over a century, we have appreciated that the biochemical processes through which micro- and macronutrients are anabolized and catabolized-collectively referred to as "cellular metabolism"-are reprogrammed in malignancies. Cancer cells in lung tumors rewire pathways of nutrient acquisition and metabolism to meet the bioenergetic demands for unchecked proliferation. Advances in precision medicine have ushered in routine genotyping of patient lung tumors, enabling a deeper understanding of the contribution of altered metabolism to tumor biology and patient outcomes.
