Andreas Weiglein (1961–2020): exemplary clinical anatomist and respected colleague

Appreciating a Hiley Respected Colleague

One cannot sensibly introduce Basil Hiley’s work as a mathematical physicist without his collaboration with David Bohm, lasting from 1962, when Basil went to Birkbeck College, to Bohm’s death in 1992. The beginning of their careers shows an astonishing similarity in the study of collective phenomena—Bohm in plasmas, Basil in molecules. However, their topics changed drastically over time, and th...

Respected Sir(2): magic target for diabetes.

The endless quest for the 'fountain of youth' has led to the discovery of a family of molecules known as sirtuins in humans, or silent mating type information regulator 2 (Sir2) in yeast, which are associated with longevity in yeast, nematodes, drosophila and rodents. Although sirtuins have yet to be proven to delay aging and promote longevity in humans, they promise 'healthy aging', an ideal o...
