Maternal anxiety during pregnancy has been consistently shown to negatively affect offspring neurodevelopmental outcomes. However, little is known about the impact of positive maternal traits/states during pregnancy on the offspring. The present study was aimed at investigating the effects of the mother's mindfulness and anxiety during pregnancy on the infant's neurocognitive functioning at 9 months of age.

Despite advances in cancer diagnosis and therapy, metastatic melanoma remains untreatable, due to its notorious resistance to apoptosis, deeming traditional therapies obsolete. Deregulated PI3K/Akt signalling is a common oncogenic event enabling melanocyte transformation and represents a significant and 'druggable' pathway in melanoma. Emerging data show that the ability of cancer cells to survive is also facilitated by alteration of vital homoeostatic mechanisms, such as autophagy.

Background And Objective: Asthma is a heterogeneous disease with various clinical, inflammatory and molecular phenotypes. We studied sputum cytokine mRNA expression patterns in an unselected group of adult asthma patients to characterize the underlying inflammatory process.
Methods: Differential cell counts and cytokine mRNA (quantified by real-time PCR) were analysed on sputum from 40 controls and 66 asthmatic adults.
The chloride current induced by expression of the protein pICln in Xenopus oocytes differs from the endogenous volume-sensitive chloride current.

1. Phenotypical similarities between ICl,swell, the cell-swelling-induced chloride current and ICln, the nucleotide-sensitive chloride current induced by expression of mammalian pICln in Xenopus oocytes, have led to models which identify pICln either as the volume-sensitive chloride channel or as a cytosolic regulator thereof. 2.
