Arms together, CENs apart

putative calcium channel specific to sperm tails may be the best target yet for a male contraceptive. The protein, dubbed CatSper, was discovered in a homology search by David Clapham and colleagues of Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA. CatSper looks like a calcium channel, although Clapham could not detect a calcium current in transfected cells, probably because another component of the chann...

Signaling together apart

Dormant tumors awaken hat happens during tumor remission? After chemotherapy, tumor cell numbers may be reduced, or surviving cells may enter an altered, dormant state. Evidence for dormancy now comes from Catherine Shachaf, Dean Felsher (Stanford University, Stanford, CA), and colleagues.

Growing Together and Growing Apart - Supplementary Materials

To support the findings reported in the manuscript Growing together and growing apart: Regional and sex differences in the lifespan developmental trajectories of functional homotopy, we conducted several supplementary analyses. These include (1) regression model selection using Akaike's Information Criterion (AIC); (2) examination of VMHC test-retest reliability; (3) comparability of findings a...
