The BRUCE‐ATR Signaling Axis Is Required for Accurate DNA Replication and Suppression of Liver Cancer Development

Chunmin Ge, Chrystelle L. Vilfranc, Lixiao Che, Raj K. Pandita, Shashank Hambarde, Paul R. Andreassen, Liang Niu, Olugbenga Olowokure, Shimul Shah, Susan E. Waltz, Lee Zou, Jiang Wang, Tej K. Pandita, Chunying Du – 28 January 2019 – Replication fork stability during DNA replication is vital for maintenance of genomic stability and suppression of cancer development in mammals. ATR (ataxia‐telangiectasia mutated [ATM] and RAD3‐related) is a master regulatory kinase that activates the replication stress response to overcome replication barriers.

Marijuana Consumption in Liver Transplant Recipients

Pablo Serrano Rodriguez, Paula Diane Strassle, Alfred Sidney Barritt, Randall Watkins, David A. Gerber, Paul Hideyo Hayashi, Chirag Sureshchandra Desai – 28 January 2019 – Marijuana is legalized for either medical or recreational use in over half of the states in the United States and in Canada, but many transplant centers will not list patients who are using marijuana.
