Functional Genomics Thickens the Biological Plot
J ust a handful of species are the basis for a staggering amount of our biological knowledge. From the ever-popular mouse (Mus musculus) to the always fruitful fruit fl y (Drosophila melanogaster), biologists have cultivated a cadre of model organisms to unravel the intricate mysteries of cell communication, genetics, and embryonic development. " Model system, " however, is a tricky term to def...
متن کاملMACHOs: THE PLOT THICKENS
We discuss the implications of the recent upward revision of the LMC microlensing rate by the MACHO Collaboration. We conclude: (i) A good case for the existence of baryonic dark matter in the halo has been made; (ii) The case for the existence of cold dark matter is unaffected and still compelling; and (iii) The Galactic halo is still an excellent place to search for cold dark matter particles...
متن کاملThe plot thickens.
The dilator function of the vascular endothelium is critical for optimal tissue perfusion, and this is brought into stark reality in a number of diseases, such as hypertension, diabetes, and preeclampsia, in which endothelium-dependent vasodilator function is impaired. Prostacyclin and nitric oxide (NO) were the earliest identified endothelium-dependent vasodilators, but it was soon found that ...
متن کاملPaul Wellstone : The Plot Thickens
In response to my analysis of the Wellstone tragedy (READER WEEKLY, 28 November 2002, pp. 18-19) and related discussion of this event, I have received quite a few emails, many of which have taken strong exception to the very idea that George W. Bush could ever have been involved in something of this kind. My suggestion that Republicans may have been motivated to take Wellstone out, alas, is not...
متن کاملFully localized brane intersections: The plot thickens
We study fully localized BPS brane solutions in classical supergravity using a perturbative approach to the coupled Born-Infeld/bulk supergravity system. We derive first order bulk supergravity fields for world-volume solitons corresponding to intersecting M2branes and to a fundamental string ending on a D3-brane. One interesting feature is the appearance of certain off-diagonal metric componen...
