Abstract
We describe a simple scheme, truncated-channel injection, to inject electrons directly into the wakefield driven by a high-intensity laser pulse guided in an all-optical plasma channel. We use this approach to generate dark-current-free 1.2 GeV, 4.5% relative energy spread electron bunches with 120 TW laser pulses guided in a 110 mm-long hydrodynamic optical-field-ionized plasma channel. Our experiments and particle-in-cell simulations show that high-quality electron bunches were only obtained when the drive pulse was closely aligned with the channel axis, and was focused close to the density down ramp formed at the channel entrance. Start-to-end simulations of the channel formation, and electron injection and acceleration show that increasing the channel length to 410 mm would yield 3.65 GeV bunches, with a slice energy spread ∼5×10^{-4}.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Prenatal surgery is offered for selected fetuses with open spina bifida (OSB) to improve long-term outcome. We studied the effect of fetal OSB surgery on brain development using advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques to quantify the volume, surface area and shape of cerebral structures and to analyze surface curvature by means of parameters that correspond to gyrification. METHODS We compared MRI data from 29 fetuses with OSB before fetal surgery (mean gestational age (GA), 23 + 3 weeks) and at 1 and 6 weeks after surgery, with that of 36 GA-matched control fetuses (GA range, 21 + 2 to 36 + 2 weeks). Automated super-resolution reconstruction provided three-dimensional isotropic volumetric brain images. Unmyelinated white matter, cerebellum and ventricles were segmented automatically and refined manually, after which volume, surface area and shape parameter (volume/surface area) were quantified. Mathematical markers (shape index (SI) and curvedness) were used to measure gyrification. Parameters were assessed according to lesion type (myelomeningocele vs myeloschisis (MS)), postoperative persistence of hindbrain herniation (HH) and the presence of supratentorial anomalies, namely partial agenesis of the corpus callosum (pACC) and heterotopia (HT). RESULTS Growth in ventricular volume per week and change in shape parameter per week were higher at 6 weeks after surgery in fetuses with OSB compared with controls (median, 2500.94 (interquartile range (IQR), 1689.70-3580.80) mm3 /week vs 708.21 (IQR, 474.50-925.00) mm3 /week; P < 0.001 and 0.075 (IQR, 0.047-0.112) mm/week vs 0.022 (IQR, 0.009-0.042) mm/week; P = 0.046, respectively). Ventricular volume growth increased 6 weeks after surgery in cases with pACC (P < 0.001) and those with persistent HH (P = 0.002). During that time period, the change in unmyelinated white-matter shape parameter per week was decreased in OSB fetuses compared with controls (0.056 (IQR, 0.044-0.092) mm/week vs 0.159 (IQR, 0.100-0.247) mm/week; P = 0.002), particularly in cases with persistent HH (P = 0.011), MS (P = 0.015), HT (P = 0.022), HT with corpus callosum anomaly (P = 0.017) and persistent HH with corpus callosum anomaly (P = 0.007). At 6 weeks postoperatively, despite OSB fetuses having a lower rate of change in curvedness compared with controls (0.061 (IQR, 0.040-0.093) mm-1 /week vs 0.094 (IQR, 0.070-0.146) mm-1 /week; P < 0.001), reversing the trend seen at 1 week after surgery (0.144 (IQR, 0.099-0.236) mm-1 /week vs 0.072 (IQR, 0.059-0.081) mm-1 /week; P < 0.001), gyrification, as determined using SI, appeared to be increased in OSB fetuses overall compared with controls. This observation was more prominent in fetuses with pACC and those with severe ventriculomegaly (P-value range, < 0.001 to 0.006). CONCLUSIONS Following fetal OSB repair, volume, shape and curvedness of ventricles and unmyelinated white matter differed significantly compared with those of normal fetuses. Morphological brain changes after fetal surgery were not limited to effects on the circulation of cerebrospinal fluid. These observations may have implications for postnatal neurocognitive outcome. © 2023 The Authors.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Comprehensive imaging using ultrasound and MRI of placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) aims to prevent catastrophic haemorrhage and maternal death. Standard MRI of the placenta is limited by between-slice motion which can be mitigated by super-resolution reconstruction (SRR) MRI. We applied SRR in suspected PAS cases to determine its ability to enhance anatomical placental assessment and predict adverse maternal outcome. METHODS Suspected PAS patients (n = 22) underwent MRI at a gestational age (weeks + days) of (32+3±3+2, range (27+1-38+6)). SRR of the placental-myometrial-bladder interface involving rigid motion correction of acquired MRI slices combined with robust outlier detection to reconstruct an isotropic high-resolution volume, was achieved in twelve. 2D MRI or SRR images alone, and paired data were assessed by four radiologists in three review rounds. All radiologists were blinded to results of the ultrasound, original MR image reports, case outcomes, and PAS diagnosis. A Random Forest Classification model was used to highlight the most predictive pathological MRI markers for major obstetric haemorrhage (MOH), bladder adherence (BA), and placental attachment depth (PAD). RESULTS At delivery, four patients had placenta praevia with no abnormal attachment, two were clinically diagnosed with PAS, and six had histopathological PAS confirmation. Pathological MRI markers (T2-dark intraplacental bands, and loss of retroplacental T2-hypointense line) predicting MOH were more visible using SRR imaging (accuracy 0.73), in comparison to 2D MRI or paired imaging. Bladder wall interruption, predicting BA, was only easily detected by paired imaging (accuracy 0.72). Better detection of certain pathological markers predicting PAD was found using 2D MRI (placental bulge and myometrial thinning (accuracy 0.81)), and SRR (loss of retroplacental T2-hypointense line (accuracy 0.82)). DISCUSSION The addition of SRR to 2D MRI potentially improved anatomical assessment of certain pathological MRI markers of abnormal placentation that predict maternal morbidity which may benefit surgical planning.

Abstract
The placenta provides the vital nutrients and removal of waste products required for fetal growth and development. Understanding and quantifying the differences in structure and function between a normally functioning placenta compared to an abnormal placenta is vital to provide insights into the aetiology and treatment options for fetal growth restriction and other placental disorders. Computational modelling of blood flow in the placenta allows a new understanding of the placental circulation to be obtained. This structured review discusses multiple recent methods for placental vascular model development including analysis of the appearance of the placental vasculature and how placental haemodynamics may be simulated at multiple length scales.

Abstract
A long, narrow, relativistic charged particle bunch propagating in plasma is subject to the self-modulation (SM) instability. We show that SM of a proton bunch can be seeded by the wakefields driven by a preceding electron bunch. SM timing reproducibility and control are at the level of a small fraction of the modulation period. With this seeding method, we independently control the amplitude of the seed wakefields with the charge of the electron bunch and the growth rate of SM with the charge of the proton bunch. Seeding leads to larger growth of the wakefields than in the instability case.

Abstract
Abstract
Study question
Which are the transcriptional signatures of chromosome instability (CIN) on the human pre-implantation embryo biology at single-cell level?
Summary answer
CIN-perturbed cells show gene expression dosage effects as well as signatures of developmental delay and cell competition within the developing human embryo.
What is known already
According to studies analysing whole human embryos at single-cell resolution, as much as 90% of the Day3-4 and up to 100% of the Day6-12 carry one or more cells with mitotic abnormalities. Intriguingly, embryonic CIN does not necessarily preclude normal offspring, since ∼30% of mosaic blastocysts detected by preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) can result in healthy live births. A model of post-implantation human development revealed cell selection mechanisms that deplete aneuploid cells from the germ layers. However, single-cell multi-omics approaches have not yet been applied to resolve the transcriptional signatures of CIN in human embryos.
Study design, size, duration
Cryopreserved human embryos donated for research were dissociated into single cells between Day1-7 post-fertilization. Cells were processed by scG&T-seq generating 295 genomes and 576 transcriptomes. This data was integrated with published single-cell RNA-seq data, totalling 2105 single-cell transcriptomes from 172 embryos. Inference of cells' DNA copy number (CN) from gene expression was benchmarked using G&T-seq data and used for cells lacking DNA-seq data.
Participants/materials, setting, methods
Effects of aneuploidies on gene expression, regulatory programs, lineage specification and developmental progression rates were studied by integrative analysis on single-cell whole genome copy number and whole transcriptome data.
Main results and the role of chance
On the genomic level, we observed frequent acquired numerical and structural chromosomal aberrations. Deletions were more frequent than duplications and were equally spread across pre-implantation stages and cell lineages. Although 88% of the embryos contained aneuploid cells, 63% still contained euploid cells. On the transcriptome level, we disclosed 248 active transcription factors (TFs), including key regulators of cell identity, that constitute 10 major gene regulatory modules driving pre-implantation development. By integrating single-cell DNA-plus-RNA information, we unveil that changes in genes’ CN directly result in transcriptional changes in the same direction, and we disclose aberrant gene regulation. Moreover, we observed cell competition instigating well before ICM/TE cell lineages specification. Common transcriptomic signatures within CIN-perturbed cells were identified. Interestingly, in TE, cell competition signatures co-existed with up-regulation of pro-proliferative and implantation-related genes.
Limitations, reasons for caution
Our study is based on single-cell whole genome expression data from disaggregated IVF pre-implantation embryos.
Wider implications of the findings
Our analyses suggest that while unfit CIN-perturbed cells might be eliminated by cell competition mechanisms, these might be tolerated and potentially beneficial in TE. Thus, encouraging the transfer of mosaic embryos after PGT-A. Besides, we provide a unique comprehensive data resource for future work.

Abstract
A model describing the evolution of the average plasma temperature inside a discharge capillary device including Ohmic heating, heat loss to the capillary wall, and ionization and recombination effects is developed. Key to this approach is an analytic quasistatic description of the radial temperature variation which, under local thermal equilibrium conditions, allows the radial behavior of both the plasma temperature and the electron density to be specified directly from the average temperature evolution. In this way, the standard set of coupled partial differential equations for magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations is replaced by a single ordinary differential equation, with a corresponding gain in simplicity and computational efficiency. The on-axis plasma temperature and electron density calculations are benchmarked against existing one-dimensional MHD simulations for hydrogen plasmas under a range of discharge conditions and initial gas pressures, and good agreement is demonstrated. The success of this simple model indicates that it can serve as a quick and easy tool for evaluating the plasma conditions in discharge capillary devices, particularly for computationally expensive applications such as simulating long-term plasma evolution, performing detailed input parameter scans, or for optimization using machine-learning techniques.

Abstract
We use a relativistic ionization front to provide various initial transverse wakefield amplitudes for the self-modulation of a long proton bunch in plasma. We show experimentally that, with sufficient initial amplitude [≥(4.1±0.4) MV/m], the phase of the modulation along the bunch is reproducible from event to event, with 3%-7% (of 2π) rms variations all along the bunch. The phase is not reproducible for lower initial amplitudes. We observe the transition between these two regimes. Phase reproducibility is essential for deterministic external injection of particles to be accelerated.

Abstract
Energy-efficient plasma-wakefield acceleration of particle bunches with low energy spread is a promising path to realizing compact free-electron lasers and particle colliders. High efficiency and low energy spread can be achieved simultaneously by strong beam loading of plasma wakefields when accelerating bunches with carefully tailored current profiles [M. Tzoufras et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 101, 145002 (2008)PRLTAO0031-900710.1103/PhysRevLett.101.145002]. We experimentally demonstrate such optimal beam loading in a nonlinear electron-driven plasma accelerator. Bunches with an initial energy of 1 GeV were accelerated by 45 MeV with an energy-transfer efficiency of (42±4)% at a gradient of 1.3 GV/m while preserving per-mille energy spreads with full charge coupling, demonstrating wakefield flattening at the few-percent level.

Abstract
We study experimentally the effect of linear plasma density gradients on the self-modulation of a 400 GeV proton bunch. Results show that a positive or negative gradient increases or decreases the number of microbunches and the relative charge per microbunch observed after 10 m of plasma. The measured modulation frequency also increases or decreases. With the largest positive gradient we observe two frequencies in the modulation power spectrum. Results are consistent with changes in wakefields' phase velocity due to plasma density gradients adding to the slow wakefields' phase velocity during self-modulation growth predicted by linear theory.

Abstract
The FLASHForward experimental facility is a high-performance test-bed for precision plasma wakefield research, aiming to accelerate high-quality electron beams to GeV-levels in a few centimetres of ionized gas. The plasma is created by ionizing gas in a gas cell either by a high-voltage discharge or a high-intensity laser pulse. The electrons to be accelerated will either be injected internally from the plasma background or externally from the FLASH superconducting RF front end. In both cases, the wakefield will be driven by electron beams provided by the FLASH gun and linac modules operating with a 10 Hz macro-pulse structure, generating 1.25 GeV, 1 nC electron bunches at up to 3 MHz micro-pulse repetition rates. At full capacity, this FLASH bunch-train structure corresponds to 30 kW of average power, orders of magnitude higher than drivers available to other state-of-the-art LWFA and PWFA experiments. This high-power functionality means FLASHForward is the only plasma wakefield facility in the world with the immediate capability to develop, explore and benchmark high-average-power plasma wakefield research essential for next-generation facilities. The operational parameters and technical highlights of the experiment are discussed, as well as the scientific goals and high-average-power outlook. This article is part of the Theo Murphy meeting issue 'Directions in particle beam-driven plasma wakefield acceleration'.

Abstract
In this article, we briefly summarize the experiments performed during the first run of the Advanced Wakefield Experiment, AWAKE, at CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research). The final goal of AWAKE Run 1 (2013-2018) was to demonstrate that 10-20 MeV electrons can be accelerated to GeV energies in a plasma wakefield driven by a highly relativistic self-modulated proton bunch. We describe the experiment, outline the measurement concept and present first results. Last, we outline our plans for the future. This article is part of the Theo Murphy meeting issue 'Directions in particle beam-driven plasma wakefield acceleration'.

Abstract
![]()
Synthetic biology based diagnostic
technologies have improved upon
gold standard diagnostic methodologies by decreasing cost, increasing
accuracy, and enhancing portability. However, there has been little
effort in adapting these technologies toward applications related
to point-of-use monitoring of plant and crop health. Here, we take
a step toward this vision by developing an approach that couples isothermal
amplification of specific plant pathogen genomic sequences with customizable
synthetic RNA regulators that are designed to trigger the production
of a colorimetric output in cell-free gene expression reactions. We
demonstrate our system can sense viral derived sequences with high
sensitivity and specificity, and can be utilized to directly detect
viruses from infected plant material. Furthermore, we demonstrate
that the entire system can operate using only body heat and naked-eye
visual analysis of outputs. We anticipate these strategies to be important
components of user-friendly and deployable diagnostic systems that
can be configured to detect a range of important plant pathogens.

Abstract
We give direct experimental evidence for the observation of the full transverse self-modulation of a long, relativistic proton bunch propagating through a dense plasma. The bunch exits the plasma with a periodic density modulation resulting from radial wakefield effects. We show that the modulation is seeded by a relativistic ionization front created using an intense laser pulse copropagating with the proton bunch. The modulation extends over the length of the proton bunch following the seed point. By varying the plasma density over one order of magnitude, we show that the modulation frequency scales with the expected dependence on the plasma density, i.e., it is equal to the plasma frequency, as expected from theory.

Abstract
We measure the effects of transverse wakefields driven by a relativistic proton bunch in plasma with densities of 2.1×10^{14} and 7.7×10^{14} electrons/cm^{3}. We show that these wakefields periodically defocus the proton bunch itself, consistently with the development of the seeded self-modulation process. We show that the defocusing increases both along the bunch and along the plasma by using time resolved and time-integrated measurements of the proton bunch transverse distribution. We evaluate the transverse wakefield amplitudes and show that they exceed their seed value (<15 MV/m) and reach over 300 MV/m. All these results confirm the development of the seeded self-modulation process, a necessary condition for external injection of low energy and acceleration of electrons to multi-GeV energy levels.

Abstract
High-energy particle accelerators have been crucial in providing a deeper understanding of fundamental particles and the forces that govern their interactions. To increase the energy of the particles or to reduce the size of the accelerator, new acceleration schemes need to be developed. Plasma wakefield acceleration1–5, in which the electrons in a plasma are excited, leading to strong electric fields (so called ‘wakefields’), is one such promising acceleration technique. Experiments have shown that an intense laser pulse6–9 or electron bunch10,11 traversing a plasma can drive electric fields of tens of gigavolts per metre and above—well beyond those achieved in conventional radio-frequency accelerators (about 0.1 gigavolt per metre). However, the low stored energy of laser pulses and electron bunches means that multiple acceleration stages are needed to reach very high particle energies5,12. The use of proton bunches is compelling because they have the potential to drive wakefields and to accelerate electrons to high energy in a single acceleration stage13. Long, thin proton bunches can be used because they undergo a process called self-modulation14–16, a particle–plasma interaction that splits the bunch longitudinally into a series of high-density microbunches, which then act resonantly to create large wakefields. The Advanced Wakefield (AWAKE) experiment at CERN17–19 uses high-intensity proton bunches—in which each proton has an energy of 400 gigaelectronvolts, resulting in a total bunch energy of 19 kilojoules—to drive a wakefield in a ten-metre-long plasma. Electron bunches are then injected into this wakefield. Here we present measurements of electrons accelerated up to two gigaelectronvolts at the AWAKE experiment, in a demonstration of proton-driven plasma wakefield acceleration. Measurements were conducted under various plasma conditions and the acceleration was found to be consistent and reliable. The potential for this scheme to produce very high-energy electron bunches in a single accelerating stage20 means that our results are an important step towards the development of future high-energy particle accelerators21,22. Electron acceleration to very high energies is achieved in a single step by injecting electrons into a ‘wake’ of charge created in a 10-metre-long plasma by speeding long proton bunches.

Abstract
The mRNAs encoding two enzymes of phenylpropanoid metabolism, phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL; EC 4.3.1.5) and 4-coumarate:CoA ligase (4CL; EC 6.2.1.12), were induced in cultured parsley cells (Petroselinum hortense) either by irradiation with UV light or by treatment with elicitor, a cell-wall fraction of the fungus Phytophthora megasperma f. sp. glycinea. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis of the encoded PAL and 4CL proteins revealed that the mRNAs induced by either treatment were very similar if not identical. RNA blot hybridization with cDNAs complementary to these mRNAs was used to measure changes in the mRNA amounts at various times after either treatment. Total cellular PAL and 4CL mRNA amounts increased coordinately after UV irradiation to a maximum at 7 hr and then decreased to uninduced levels by 30 hr with the same kinetics as observed previously for the changes in the translational activities. Treatment with the fungal elicitor also caused coordinated, but more rapid, changes in PAL and 4CL mRNA translational activities, with a sharp peak occurring 3 hr after the addition of elicitor. Corresponding changes in mRNA amounts were observed only for 4CL, whereas the amount of PAL mRNA continued to increase at least up to 20 hr after elicitor addition. Our results suggest that parsley cells respond to UV irradiation or addition of fungal elicitor by increased rates of transcription of genes involved in the synthesis of compounds related to UV or disease resistance, respectively.

Abstract
In this paper we present a near-field microscopy study of thin films of a phase-separated blend of the fluorescent conjugated-polymer poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene) [PFO] with the non-fluorescent polymer polymethylmethacrylate [PMMA]. A scanning near-field optical microscope (NSOM) was used to generate (blue) fluorescence from the PFO following UV excitation at 362 nm. A range of different concentrations of PFO in PMMA were studied ranging from 1 to 50% PFO in PMMA by mass. By studying both the shear force and fluorescence images we were able accurately to determine the distribution of PFO in the PMMA. We found that phase separation occurs over a number of different length-scales between 5 micro m and 250 nm. We show that at PFO concentrations of 1%, the PFO lies on top of the PMMA. At a PFO relative concentration of 50%, the PMMA phase extends through the whole thickness of the film to the underlying substrate. We use such samples to discuss the resolution of NSOM when imaging thick organic films. Furthermore, we confirm that the length-scales of phase separation can be modified via control over spin-casting protocols.

Abstract
We recently demonstrated that in MCF-7 breast cancer cells, insulin promoted the phosphorylation and activation of geranylgeranyltransferase I (GGTI-I), increased the amounts of geranylgeranylated Rho-A and potentiated the transactivating activity of lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) (Chappell, J., Golovchenko, I., Wall, K., Stjernholm, R., Leitner, J., Goalstone, M., and Draznin, B. (2000) J. Biol. Chem. 275, 31792-31797). In the present study, we explored the mechanism of this potentiating effect of insulin on LPA. Insulin (10 nm) potentiated the ability of LPA to stimulate cell cycle progression and DNA synthesis in MCF-7 cells. The potentiating effect of insulin appears to involve increases in the expression of cyclin E and decreases in the expression of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p27Kip1. All potentiating effects of insulin were inhibited in the presence of an inhibitor of GGTase I, GGTI-286 (3 microm) or by an expression of a dominant negative mutant of Rho-A. In contrast to its potentiating action, a direct mitogenic effect of insulin in MCF-7 cells involves activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and increased expression of cyclin D1. We conclude that the ability of insulin to increase the cellular amounts of geranylgeranylated Rho-A results in potentiation of the LPA effect on cyclin E expression and degradation of p27Kip1 and cell cycle progression in MCF-7 breast cancer cells.

Abstract
Capsidiol is a bicyclic, dihydroxylated sesquiterpene produced by several solanaceous species in response to a variety of environmental stimuli. It is the primary antimicrobial compound produced by Nicotiana tabacum in response to fungal elicitation, and it is formed via the isoprenoid pathway from 5-epi-aristolochene. Much of the biosynthetic pathway for the formation of this compound has been elucidated, except for the enzyme(s) responsible for the conversion of 5-epi-aristolochene to its dihydroxylated form, capsidiol. Biochemical evidence from previous studies with N. tabacum (Whitehead, I. M., Threlfall, D. R., and Ewing, D. F., 1989, Phytochemistry 28, 775-779) and Capsicum annuum Hoshino, T., Yamaura, T., Imaishi, H., Chida, M., Yoshizawa, Y., Higashi, K., Ohkawa, H., Mizutani, J., 1995, Phytochemistry 38, 609-613. suggested that the oxidation of 5-epi-aristolochene to capsidiol was mediated by at least one elicitor-inducible cytochrome P450 hydroxylase. In extending these observations, we developed an in vivo assay for 5-epi-aristolochene hydroxylase activity and used it to demonstrate a dose-dependent inhibition of activity by ancymidol and ketoconazole, two well characterized inhibitors of cytochrome P450 enzymes. Using degenerate oligonucleotide primers designed to the well conserved domains found within most P450 enzymes, including the heme binding domain, cDNA fragments representing four distinct P450 families (CYP71, CYP73, CYP82, and CYP92) were amplified from a cDNA library prepared against mRNA from elicitor-treated cells using PCR. The PCR fragments were subsequently used to isolate full-length cDNAs (CYP71D20 and D21, CYP73A27 and A28, CYP82E1 and CYP92A5), and these in turn were used to demonstrate that the corresponding mRNAs were all induced in elicitor-treated cells, albeit with different induction patterns. Representative, full-length cDNAs for each of the P450s were engineered into a yeast expression system, and the recombinant yeast assessed for functional expression of P450 protein by measuring the CO difference spectra of the yeast microsomes. Only microsomal preparations from yeast expressing the CYP71D20 and CYP92A5 cDNAs exhibited significant CO difference absorbance spectra at 450 nm and were thus tested for their ability to hydroxylate 5-epi-aristolochene and 1-deoxycapsidiol, a putative mono-hydroxylated intermediate in capsidiol biosynthesis. Interestingly, the CYP71D20-encoded enzyme activity was capable of converting both 5-epi-aristolochene and 1-deoxycapsidiol to capsidiol in vitro, consistent with the notion that this P450 enzyme catalyzes both hydroxylations of its hydrocarbon substrate.

Abstract
Sea level change during the Quaternary is primarily a consequence of the cyclic growth and decay of ice sheets, resulting in a complex spatial and temporal pattern. Observations of this variability provide constraints on the timing, rates, and magnitudes of the changes in ice mass during a glacial cycle, as well as more limited information on the distribution of ice between the major ice sheets at any time. Observations of glacially induced sea level changes also provide information on the response of the mantle to surface loading on time scales of 10(3) to 10(5) years. Regional analyses indicate that the earth-response function is depth dependent as well as spatially variable. Comprehensive models of sea level change enable the migration of coastlines to be predicted during glacial cycles, including the anthropologically important period from about 60,000 to 20,000 years ago.

Abstract
The El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is the most potent source of interannual climate variability. Uncertainty surrounding the impact of greenhouse warming on ENSO strength and frequency has stimulated efforts to develop a better understanding of the sensitivity of ENSO to climate change. Here we use annually banded corals from Papua New Guinea to show that ENSO has existed for the past 130,000 years, operating even during "glacial" times of substantially reduced regional and global temperature and changed solar forcing. However, we also find that during the 20th century ENSO has been strong compared with ENSO of previous cool (glacial) and warm (interglacial) times. The observed pattern of change in amplitude may be due to the combined effects of ENSO dampening during cool glacial conditions and ENSO forcing by precessional orbital variations.

Abstract
We have shown previously that insulin promotes phosphorylation and activation of farnesyltransferase and geranylgeranyltransferase (GGTase) II. We have now examined the effect of insulin on geranylgeranyltransferase I in MCF-7 breast cancer cells. Insulin increased GGTase I activity 3-fold and augmented the amounts of geranylgeranylated Rho-A by 18%. Both effects of the insulin were blocked by an inhibitor of GGTase I, GGTI-286. The insulin-induced increases in the amounts of geranylgeranylated Rho-A resulted in potentiation of the Rho-A-mediated effects of lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) on a serum response element-luciferase construct. Preincubation of cells with insulin augmented the LPA-stimulated serum response element-luciferase activation to 12-fold, compared with just 6-fold for LPA alone (p < 0.05). The potentiating effect of insulin was dose-dependent, inhibited by GGTI-286 and not mimicked by insulin-like growth factor-1. We conclude that insulin activates GGTase I, increases the amounts of geranylgeranylated Rho-A protein, and potentiates the Rho-A-dependent nuclear effects of LPA in MCF-7 breast cancer cells.

Abstract
Jasmonates are well documented for their ability to modulate the expression of plant genes and to influence specific aspects of disease/pest resistance traits. We and others have been studying the synthesis of sesquiterpene phytoalexins in elicitor/pathogen-challenged plants and have sought to determine if methyl jasmonate (MeJA) could substitute for fungal elicitors in the induction of capsidiol accumulation by tobacco cell cultures. The current results demonstrate that MeJA does in fact induce phytoalexin accumulation, but with a much more delayed induction time course than elicitor. While elicitor treatment induced strong but transient changes in key enzymes of sesquiterpene biosynthesis, sesquiterpene cyclase, and aristolochene/deoxy-capsidiol hydroxylase, MeJA did not. Instead, MeJA caused a protracted induction of cyclase activity and only a low level of hydroxylase activity. MeJA induced the expression of at least two sesquiterpene cyclase genes, including one that had not been observed previously in elicitor-induced mRNA populations. Only a small portion of the total sesquiterpene cyclase mRNA induced by MeJA was associated with polysomal RNA, suggesting that the MeJA treatment imposed both transcriptional and posttranscriptional regulation in tobacco cells. These results are not consistent with MeJA playing a role in orchestrating defense responses in elicitor-treated tobacco cells, but do provide evidence that MeJA induces a subset of genes coding for the biosynthesis of sesquiterpene phytoalexins.

Abstract
Wandering spleen is an uncommon entity in childhood and has been described only rarely in association with gastric volvulus. Wandering spleen and gastric volvulus were diagnosed in a 5-year-old boy who presented with acute abdominal pain and distension. Intraoperatively, normal ligamentous connections between the stomach, spleen, and posterior abdominal wall were absent. Developmental anomalies that result in wandering spleen may lead to hypermobility of the stomach and a predisposition to gastric volvulus. In such patients, prophylactic gastropexy should be considered.

Abstract
The green microalga Botryococcus braunii produces large amounts of liquid hydrocarbons and is classified into three races, depending on the type of the hydrocarbon produced. The B race produces two types of triterpenoid hydrocarbons, squalene and botryococcene, both of which are putative condensation products of farnesyl diphosphate. In an attempt to better understand the regulation involved in the production of squalene and botryococcene, we have isolated and characterized a squalene synthase (SS) gene from the B race of B. braunii. A 366-bp cDNA fragment was initially obtained from the B race utilizing a reverse transcription/polymerase chain reaction and degenerate primers based on conserved amino acid sequences found in all SS enzymes. Using this putative SS fragment as a probe, a 2632-bp cDNA clone was isolated from a cDNA library. This cDNA contained an open reading frame coding for a protein with 461 amino acids and a predicted molecular mass of 52.5 kDa. Comparison of the Botryococcus SS (BSS) with SS from different organisms showed 52% identity with Nicotiana tabacum, 51% with Arabidopsis thaliana, 48% with Zea mays, 40% with rat, 39% with yeast, and 26% with Zymomonas mobilis. Expression of full-length and carboxy-terminus truncated BSS cDNA in Escherichia coli resulted in significant levels of bacterial SS enzyme activity but no botryococcene synthase activity. RNA blot hybridization analysis of algal cultures during a culture cycle indicated that BSS gene expression is preferential during rapid growth. Given that the DNA blot analysis indicated only a single copy of the SS gene in the algal genome, these results suggest either that there exists coordinate expression of separate synthase genes for squalene and botryococcene biosynthesis or that there might be unique physiological conditions controlling the SS vs botryococcene synthase activity of a single peptide species.

Abstract
The ability of Nicotiana tabacum cell cultures to utilize farnesol (F-OH) for sterol and sesquiterpene biosynthesis was investigated. [(3)H]F-OH was readily incorporated into sterols by rapidly growing cell cultures. However, the incorporation rate into sterols was reduced by greater than 70% in elicitor-treated cell cultures whereas a substantial proportion of the radioactivity was redirected into capsidiol, an extracellular sesquiterpene phytoalexin. The incorporation of [(3)H]F-OH into sterols was inhibited by squalestatin 1, suggesting that [(3)H]F-OH was incorporated via farnesyl pyrophosphate (F-P-P). Consistent with this possibility, N. tabacum proteins were metabolically labeled with [(3)H]F-OH or [(3)H]geranylgeraniol ([(3)H]GG-OH). Kinase activities converting F-OH to farnesyl monophosphate (F-P) and, subsequently, F-P-P were demonstrated directly by in vitro enzymatic studies. [(3)H]F-P and [(3)H]F-P-P were synthesized when exogenous [(3)H]F-OH was incubated with microsomal fractions and CTP. The kinetics of formation suggested a precursor-product relationship between [(3)H]F-P and [(3)H]F-P-P. In agreement with this kinetic pattern of labeling, [(32)P]F-P and [(32)P]F-P-P were synthesized when microsomal fractions were incubated with F-OH and F-P, respectively, with [gamma-(32)P]CTP serving as the phosphoryl donor. Under similar conditions, the microsomal fractions catalyzed the enzymatic conversion of [(3)H]GG-OH to [(3)H]geranylgeranyl monophosphate and [(3)H]geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate ([(3)H]GG-P-P) in CTP-dependent reactions. A novel biosynthetic mechanism involving two successive monophosphorylation reactions was supported by the observation that [(3)H]CTP was formed when microsomes were incubated with [(3)H]CDP and either F-P-P or GG-P-P, but not F-P. These results document the presence of at least two CTP-mediated kinases that provide a mechanism for the utilization of F-OH and GG-OH for the biosynthesis of isoprenoid lipids and protein isoprenylation.
