Apoptosis or programmed cell death is a gene regulated phenomenon which is important in both physiological and pathological conditions. It is characterized by distinct morphological features including chromatin condensation, cell and nuclear shrinkage, membrane blebbing and oligonucleosomal DNA fragmentation. Although, two major apoptotic pathways including 1) the death receptor (extrinsic) and...

Thank you for making Dr. Moses’ proposal available for public discussion [see Gerald Weissmann (2009) Shovel-Ready Science: Moses Applies for a GO Grant. FASEB J. 23: 2337–2340]. After reading this proposal, I am deeply concerned over his failure to acknowledge any of the research done by my team. Our work is based extensively on that of Dr. Moses’ important early studies, and we have achieved ...
