Keeping formation in-house deepens Catholic culture.

nder the prevalent model of leadership formation in Catholic health care — we would even say the default model — individual executives are chosen from a given health care organization and invited to participate with executives from their own system, or across systems, in a learning and development cohort. Sessions take place outside the executives’ usual environments, generally in a retreat-lik...

AMPK: keeping the (power)house in order?

Metabolically energetic organs, such as the brain, require a reliable source of ATP, the majority of which is provided by oxidative phosphorylation in the mitochondrial matrix. Maintaining mitochondrial integrity is therefore of paramount importance in highly specialized cells such as neurons. Beyond acting as cellular ‘power stations’ and initiators of apoptosis, neuronal mitochondria are high...

Homing endonucleases: keeping the house in order.

Homing endonucleases are rare-cutting enzymes encoded by introns and inteins. They have striking structural and functional properties that distinguish them from restriction enzymes. Nomenclature conventions analogous to those for restriction enzymes have been developed for the homing endonucleases. Recent progress in understanding the structure and function of the four families of homing enzyme...
