Vive la science! Vive le hérisson!

The EMBO workshop 'Hedgehog Signalling: from Developmental Biology to Anti-cancer Drugs' took place between 27 and 31 March on the beautiful Côte d'Azur. The gathered scientists tackled topics ranging from the mechanisms by which Hedgehog (Hh) is presented to receptive cells, to the distribution of Hh by Glypicans, to the role of cilia in vertebrate Hh signal transduction, and to the function o...

Vive la résistance!

In vitro evolution experiments reveal that single mutations in three genes can increase the ability of E. coli to survive ionizing radiation by a factor of 1000.

Vive La Différence Iii

We show that, consistently, there is an ultrafilter F on ω such that if N n = (P l n ∪ Q l n, P l n, Q l n, R l n) (for l = 1, 2, n < ω), P l n ∪ Qn ⊆ ω, and Q

Vive la Difference!

The subfields of the primate visual cortex differ in their cytological composition, including the relative width of the layers. In this issue of Neuron, Lukaszewicz et al. report that the origin of these laminar, and thus areal, differences can be traced to the kinetics of progenitor cell divisions in the subjacent proliferative zones that generate neurons that migrate radially to the appropria...
