Low Striatal Glutamate Levels Underlie Cognitive Decline in the Elderly: Evidence from in Vivo Molecular Spectroscopy
Here, we used a spectroscopic protocol, optimized for Glu detection, to examine the effect of age in 3 brain regions targeted by cortical efferents—the striatum, cerebellum, and pons—and to test…

Identification of Novel Cyp2A6*1B Variants: the Cyp2A6*1B Allele Is Associated with Faster in Vivo Nicotine Metabolism
We report evidence that CYP2A6*1B genotype is associated with faster nicotine clearance in vivo, which will be important to future CYP2A6 genotype association studies.

Respiratory-Related Evoked Potentials During Sleep in Children
There have been no data on RREP during sleep in children. We thus examined children during sleep to determine whether early RREP components would be maintained during all sleep.

AMP-Activated Protein Kinase Inhibits Transforming Growth Factor-Beta-Induced Smad3-Dependent Transcription and Myofibroblast Transdifferentiation
In wound healing, myofibroblast transdifferentiation (MFT) is a metaplastic change in phenotype producing profibrotic effector cells that secrete and remodel the extracellular matrix.

Epigenetic Alteration of the Wnt Inhibitory Factor-1 Promoter Occurs Early in the Carcinogenesis of Barrett’s Esophagus
We hypothesized that downregulation of the Wnt inhibitory factor-1 (WIF-1) might be involved in the neoplastic progression of Barrett's esophagus (BE).

Canary in a Coal Mine? Interest in Bupropion SR Use Among Smokers in the COMPASS Trial
In this letter, we share our experience recruiting smokers to three clinical cessation trials, each offering concomitant pharmacotherapy.
