Twelve Essentials of Science-based Policy - Choi, Bernard C.K
This article presents a systematic framework of 12 essentials, or basic elements, of science-based policy. The 12 essentials are grouped into three categories, or areas, as follows: 1) knowledge generation, which includes credible design, accurate data, sound analysis, and comprehensive synthesis; 2) knowledge exchange, which includes relevant content, appropriate translation, timely dissemination, and modulated release; and 3) knowledge uptake, which includes accessible information, readable message, motivated user, and rewarding outcome.

Novel synthesis of O6-alkylguanine containing oligodeoxyribonucleotides as substrates for the human DNA repair protein, O6-methylguanine DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) - Shibata, Takayuki; Glynn, Nicola; McMurry, T. Brian H.; McElhinney, R. Stanley; Margison, Geoffrey P.; Williams, David M.
The human DNA repair protein O6-methylguanine DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) dealkylates mutagenic O6-alkylguanine lesions within DNA in an irreversible reaction which results in inactivation of the protein. MGMT also provides resistance of tumours to alkylating agents used in cancer chemotherapy and its inactivation is therefore of particular clinical importance. We describe a post-DNA synthesis strategy which exploits the novel, modified base 2-amino-6-methylsulfonylpurine and allows access for the first time to a wide variety of oligodeoxyribonucleotides (ODNs) containing O6-alkylguanines. One such ODN containing O6-(4-bromothenyl)guanine is the most potent inactivator described to date with an IC50 of 0.1 nM.

Protection against Prenatal Alcohol-Induced Damage - Spong, Catherine Y
Spong discusses a new animal study that showed that nicotinamide had a protective effect against prenatal alcohol-induced brain damage.
