Parathyroid hormone (PTH) and hematopoiesis: New support for some old observations
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Forty-seven years ago, the parathyroid hormone (PTH) in one injection of Lilly's old bovine parathyroid extract, PTE, was found to greatly increase the 30-day survival of heavily X-irradiated rats when given from 18 h before to as long as 3 h after irradiation but no later. This was the first indication that PTH might stimulate hematopoiesis. Recent studies have confirmed the relation between PTH and hematopoiesis by showing that hPTH-(1-34)OH increases the size of the hematopoietic stem cell pool in mice. The peptide operates through a cyclic AMP-mediated burst of Jagged 1 production in osteoblastic cells lining the stem cells' niches on trabecular bone surfaces. The osteoblastic cells' Jagged 1 increases the hematopoietic stem cell pool by activating Notch receptors on attached stem cells. PTH-triggered cyclic AMP signals also directly stimulate the proliferation of the hematopoietic stem cells. However, the single PTH injection in the early experiments using PTE probably increased the survival of irradiated rats mainly by preventing the damaged hematopoietic progenitors from irreversibly initiating self-destructive apoptogenesis during the first 5 h after irradiation. It has also been shown that several daily injections of hPTH-(1-34)OH enable lethally irradiated mice to survive by stimulating the growth of transplanted normal bone marrow cells. If the osteogenic PTHs currently entering or on the verge of entering the market for treating osteoporosis can also drive hematopoiesis in humans as well as rodents, they could be potent tools for reducing the damage inflicted on bone marrow by cytotoxic cancer chemotherapeutic drugs and ionizing radiation.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
