Below is a selection of recommendations added by our Faculty of 10,000+ Members over the past month:

8 ★		No need to say no to NO

An important clinical trial in anesthesiology definitively answers one of the most controversial topics: the safety of nitrous oxide (NO). NO does not contribute to perioperative risk. Myles PS, Leslie K, Chan MT et al. Lancet. 2014; 384:1446-54

8 ★		Learning to grow a spine

A critical window of 0.3-2 seconds exists for dopamine release after a glutamate signal, causing dendritic spines of a striatal neuron to grow. This may be a cellular correlate of reward learning. Yagishita S, Hayashi-Takagi A, Ellis-Davies GC et al. Science. 2014; 345:1616-20

11 ★		"A must-read for auxinists"

These findings represent a major step forward in understanding how the plant hormone auxin regulates transcription for development. Boer DR, Freire-Rios A, van den Berg WA et al. Cell. 2014; 156:577-89

Solving the puzzle of autoimmunity - critical questions It is becoming clear that genetic predisposition to autoimmune diseases resides in a large number of genes encoding key immunological components whose expression is under epigenetic control, which can be influenced by environmental factors in susceptible individuals.
