CHEMISTRY: Stamping Out Peptides

STAMPing out Inflammation

Mounting evidence suggests that inflammatory signaling pathways are central players in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. In this issue, Wellen et al. (2007) identify STAMP2 as a factor that integrates inflammatory and nutritional signals with metabolism.

Patterns for Renaming and Stamping Out Object-Oriented Models

Modern system engineering is supported by a families of modelling languages; each member of a specific family addresses a different aspect of the application domain. Constructing families of modelling languages is facilitated by the use of packages and templates. Packages are containers of modelling elements. Packages may be specialised and merged. Renamings may be applied to packages. Template...

Reaching Out with Physical Chemistry.

P chemistry has been playing an important role in modern science as it contributes to the basic understanding of physical and chemical processes and bridges several scientific disciplines. From materials to analytical methods, from energy to the environment, and from biomimetics to biological systems, one employs the principles of physical chemistry to elucidate physical processes and explore n...
