Identifying Novel Genes and Pathways Correlated with Group 3 and Group 4 Medulloblastoma Metastasis to the Spine
No full textMedulloblastoma (MB) is a cancer of the cerebellum and the most common childhood brain malignancy. For children with high-risk MB, mortality is nearly always the result of the primary tumour having metastasized to the leptomeninges. This is due to the fact that current therapy for metastatic MB is less effective than that for primary disease. This is a product of the fact that most MB research has focused on primary tumours rather than metastases, due to the low availability of metastatic MB tissues for research, and, until recently, the absence of mouse models of metastatic MB. With greater understanding of primary MB has come a more rounded foundation upon which to build a better therapy. Thus, it is exciting to note that mouse models of MB dissemination now exist, and with these models has come first glimpses of mechanisms that may be driving MB metastasis. In an effort to build upon this new body of knowledge our lab engaged in a process of repeated selection for increased metastasis propensity among spine metastases from mouse patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models of human Group 3 and Group 4 MB. By phenotypically selecting for increased metastasis propensity, we would necessarily also select for increased activity of the genes and pathways necessary and sufficient for increased metastasis propensity, some of which might represent valuable new therapeutic targets. In this manner, we have identified several long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and Cancer Testis Antigen (CTA) genes increasingly transcribed in correlation with metastasis. Further, we have found that their increased transcription is followed closely by the activation of several well- known metastasis pathways. So lncRNAs and CTA genes may represent novel new components of the complex systems regulating MB metastasis.Ph.D
Wise Women? What Women Bring to the Bench and How to Talk About It Like Gentlemen
No full textThe University of Georgia School of Law\u27s 28th Edith House Lecture will be delivered by Dahlia Lithwick, a senior editor and legal correspondent for Slate magazine. She will present Wise Women? What Women Bring to the Bench and How to Talk About It Like Gentlemen on March 25 at 3:30 pm in the Larry Walker Room of Dean Rusk Hall, located on North Campus. According to Lithwick, the nomination and confirmation hearings of Justice Sonia Sotomayor once more put a spotlight on issues surrounding women and the law. Specifically, Sotomayor was attacked as a bully judge and also as a female exceptionalist who believed that women, specifically wise Latina women, made better decisions. During her talk, Lithwick will address the status of women and judging and will explore the question Do women really think differently than men, and if they do, is that a good thing? She will also discuss why the national conversation about women in the law is both impoverished and overheated, what women can do to change it, and what it means for the future of women on the bench and in the law. Her presentation will be followed by a question and answer session. Lithwick writes Supreme Court Dispatches and Jurisprudence in addition to covering other legal issues for Slate. Her work has also appeared in Elle, The New Republic, Newsweek, The New York Times, the Ottawa Citizen, The Washington Post and on CNN.com. She is a frequent commentator for several National Public Radio shows, including “Talk of the Nation.” She is also co-author of Me v. Everybody: Absurd Contracts for an Absurd World and I Will Sing Life: Voices from the Hole in the Wall Gang Camp. Before joining Slate in 1999, Lithwick practiced family law at a firm in Reno, Nev. She also served as a judicial clerk for Chief Judge Procter Ralph Hug Jr. of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit. Lithwick earned her undergraduate degree in English from Yale University and her Juris Doctor from Stanford University

Various Methodologies of Hadith Research (Sanad Research, Matan, Study of Figures and Living Hadith)
No full textResearch has three basic objectives, namely discovery, proof, and development. The purpose of discovery means discovering a theory or new understandings of hadith, the purpose of proof means research that focuses on eliminating doubts that exist in a hadith, and the purpose of development means the expansion of a figure's theory about hadith. Through this article, the author will discuss a variety of hadith research methodologies, this paper uses a qualitative research writing method with a literature approach, The author discusses four famous hadith research methodologies, namely sanad hadith research, matan hadith research, figure study research and living hadith research. The sanad research is the genealogy of the narrators who transform the matan from the main source. Matan research is in the form of maintenance, definition, interpretation and maintenance of the values that exist in the redaction of hadith. Character study research describes how a certain figure thinks about the hadith, whether it is a view that comes from Muslim intellectuals or orientalists. While living hadith research means research on the interaction, understanding and practices of people in certain areas towards hadith
