Merck moves into biotech

Genomics moves into the clinic.

Laetrile: the battle moves into the courtroom.

NDP kinase moves into developing primary cilia.

Inmunofluorescence staining of murine NIH3T3 fibroblasts grown at high density shows that conventional nucleoside diphosphate (NDP) kinases A and B localize to a sensory organelle, the primary cilium. Similar results are obtained with Xenopus A6 kidney epithelial cells, suggesting that NDP kinases are a universal component of the primary cilium. The translocation of NDP kinase into primary cili...

Plant genomics moves into the limelight.

Two major considerations impelled Ronald Phillips [University of Minnesota and Director of the National Research Initiative of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)], and Michael Freeling (University of California, Berkeley), to organize a recent colloquium, ‘‘Protecting our Food Supply: The Value of Plant Genome Initiatives’’ (Stanford, CA, June 2–5). First, the increased wealth of the dev...

Complex Data Moves into the Third Dimension

For some years now, mainstream industries, such as automotive or aerospace, have invested many millions in visualising their CAD in 3D. Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) tools and techniques, incorporating 3D stereoscopic visualisation or Virtual Reality (VR) are the norm in these sectors. Initially just used by designers for real-time design reviews, VR technology soon spread to training and ...
