1. Thrombin addition to human platelets stimulates L(+)lactate formation and S-D-lactoylglutathione (SDL) accumulation. 2. Monoiodoacetamide decreases lactate formation and potentiates SDL accumulation through a significant increase of dihydroxyacetone phosphate and fructose1,6bisphosphate intracellular levels both in resting and in activated platelets. 3. A similar effect is produced by exogenous methylglyoxal on L(+)lactate formation and SDL accumulation. 4. Resting platelets completely transform (1 hr at 37 degrees C) the ketoaldehyde into D(-)lactate: 5. When platelets are incubated in the presence of thrombin only 60% of the ketoaldehyde is found as D(-)lactate and the accumulated S-D-lactoylglutathione represents about the 0.7% of the initial substrate. 6. During platelet stimulation with thrombin the hemithioacetal adduct, formed as a by-product of glycolytic pathway, can be rapidly removed for important steps of cellular activation.

Human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer metastasis remains the primary cause of mortality among women globally. Targeted therapies have revolutionized treatment efficacy, with Trastuzumab (Trast), a monoclonal antibody, targeting HER2-positive advanced breast cancer. The tumor-homing peptide iRGD enhances the intratumoral accumulation and penetration of therapeutic agents.

The related peptides pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) have diverse biological functions in peripheral tissues and the central nervous system. Therefore, these peptides and their three receptors represent potential drug targets for several conditions, including neurological and pain-related disorders. However, very little is known about how these peptides regulate their receptors through processes such as internalization.

Although p53 inactivation promotes genomic instability and presents a route to malignancy for more than half of all human cancers, the patterns through which heterogenous TP53 (encoding human p53) mutant genomes emerge and influence tumorigenesis remain poorly understood. Here, in a mouse model of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma that reports sporadic p53 loss of heterozygosity before cancer onset, we find that malignant properties enabled by p53 inactivation are acquired through a predictable pattern of genome evolution. Single-cell sequencing and in situ genotyping of cells from the point of p53 inactivation through progression to frank cancer reveal that this deterministic behaviour involves four sequential phases-Trp53 (encoding mouse p53) loss of heterozygosity, accumulation of deletions, genome doubling, and the emergence of gains and amplifications-each associated with specific histological stages across the premalignant and malignant spectrum.

Background: Marine recruits training at Parris Island experienced an unexpectedly high rate of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, despite preventive measures including a supervised, 2-week, pre-entry quarantine. We characterize SARS-CoV-2 transmission in this cohort.
Methods: Between May and November 2020, we monitored 2,469 unvaccinated, mostly male, Marine recruits prospectively during basic training.
