In this issue of Cell, Denis et al. (2005) now report the presence of functional spliceosomes and signal-dependent pre-mRNA splicing in the cytoplasm of platelets.

Ecochemistry of Bhc in Czechoslovakia

The 'ecochemistry' of BHC and other chlorinated insecticides in soil, surface waters, in selected foodstuffs of plant and animal origin, in human milk and other human materials (fat and the uterus content after an artificial abortion), has been studied. The investigations were accomplished in three regions in Slovakia: two regions with an intensive predominating agricultural production and one ...
