چکیده

Doença milenar em vários países do mundo, a peste bubônica chegou ao Brasil em 1898, tendo como porta de entrada o porto de Santos. Este acontecimento quase centenário motivou a criação do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz (IOC), hoje Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (Fiocruz). Além de sua importância para a epidemiologia histórica, a peste foi ressaltada em romances, como o de Albert Camus. Junto a acontecimentos contemporâneos relativos ao controle da doença em nosso país, esses fatos são descritos pelo biólogo Célio Rodrigues em entrevista ao projeto 'História e Memória do Centro de Pesquisa Aggeu Magalhães'. A experiência narrada por este especialista em peste bubônica traz uma contribuição significativa para as reflexões acerca da história das ciências e das doenças em nosso país, pois expõe de forma singular um aspecto da ciência brasileira e em que condições se desenvolve fora dos grandes institutos de pesquisa. Célio Rodrigues atuou no sertão pernambucano, a partir do início da década de I960, iniciando seu trabalho em um lugarejo chamado Exu, como coordenador de uma

Isolation of a Ribonucleoprotein Complex Involved in mRNA Localization in Drosophila Oocytes

Localization of bicoid (bcd) mRNA to the anterior and oskar (osk) mRNA to the posterior of the Drosophila oocyte is critical for embryonic patterning. Previous genetic studies implicated exuperantia (exu) in bcd mRNA localization, but its role in this process is not understood. We have biochemically isolated Exu and show that it is part of a large RNase-sensitive complex that contains at least ...
