Lipid research picks up speed on the slopes of Taos.

The 2002 Keystone Symposium on "Regulation of Cellular Responses by Lipid Mediators" provided a lively and active forum to discuss research in lipid signaling. This meeting review can provide only a glimpse into the diversity of research presented. Here we have chosen to highlight a group of exciting presentations describing novel features of the temporal and spatial regulation of phosphoinosit...

Electrical Signal Picks Up a Magnet ’ s Heartbeat

A strong interaction between light and a magnet can produce a hybrid system with energy levels distinct from either the light or the magnet on its own. In this “strong coupling” regime, quantum information can be easily transferred from the light to the magnet and vice versa. This feature could be useful in quantum information technologies or as a way to use one component (say, the light) to pr...

Hypertension Editors’ Picks

Insufficient sleep and circadian rhythm disturbances have been each associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes in epidemiological studies, but experimental evidence for a causal link is scarce. The present study compares the impact of circadian misalignment (CM) to circadian alignment (CA) on human autonomic function using a nonrandomized parallel group design to achieve the same total sle...
