Beit fellowships forge a Nobel link

Gene link studies forge new collaborations

Why did we sequence the human genome? Aside from those who genuinely want to know the precise function of each and every human gene — a small minority of people, to be sure — most of us see the principle value of the genome project in its utility for improving human health. After all, once we identify genes we can design better drugs, develop better diagnostics, and gain a better understanding ...

Sports fellowships.

Several factors should go into selecting a sports medicine fellowship. These include clinical factors, research factors and team coverage experience, among others. The most important issue when selecting a sports medicine fellowship is to identify individual goals. Without accurately identifying one’s goals, it is impossible to select the right fellowship. Sports medicine fellowships vary great...

Background: Co-morbidity is a powerful predictor of health care outcomes and costs, as well as an important cofounder in epidemiologic studies. The effect of co-morbidities is generally related to mortality or complications. This study evaluated the association between co-morbidity and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients awaiting total joint replacement. Methods: A total of 893 p...

Vaccinia virus DNA polymerase catalyzes duplex-byduplex DNA joining reactions in vitro and many features of these recombination reactions are reprised in vivo. This can explain the intimate linkage between virus replication and genetic recombination. However, it is unclear why these apparently ordinary polymerases exhibit this unusual catalytic capacity. In this study, we have used different su...
