Spotlight on Trainees (from Sept 1 issue)
Too Funny or Too Real?
Users of Facebook likely have already encountered shares of the droll
tableaux constructed of Lego minifigures and lampooning various aspects of graduate school life. Few aspects of the trainee experience are spared satirical barbs: targeted are the major professor's capricious directives, the student's need for extreme economy when socializing or traveling to meetings, and the vulnerability of all to the vagaries of audiovisual technology. Even at a distance of nearly 30 years from his graduate school days, your faithful editor still wonders whether it is too soon to find the vignettes altogether amusing without tiny beads of sweat forming on his forehead.

Leukaemia-associated Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factor (LARG) plays an agonist specific role in platelet function through RhoA activation
Thrombosis and Haemostasis
Leukemia-Associated RhoGEF (LARG) is highly expressed in platelets, which are essential for maintaining normal haemostasis. The authors studied the function of LARG in murine and human megakaryocytes and platelets with Larg knockout (KO), shRNA-mediated knockdown and small molecule-mediated inhibition.  Read more

 

Endothelial exocytosis of angiopoietin-2 resulting from CCM3 deficiency contributes to cerebral cavernous malformation
Nature Medicine
Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) are vascular malformations that affect the central nervous system and result in cerebral hemorrhage, seizure and stroke. CCMs arise from loss-of-function mutations in one of three genes: KRIT1 (also known as CCM1), CCM2 or PDCD10 (also known as CCM3). PDCD10 mutations in humans often result in a more severe form of the disease relative to mutations in the other two CCM genes, and PDCD10-knockout mice show severe defects, the mechanistic basis for which is unclear.  Read more
