Neural crest cells (NCCs) can adopt different neuronal fates. In NCCs, neurogenin-2 promotes sensory specification but does not specify different subclasses of sensory neurons. Understanding the gene cascades that direct Trk gene activation may reveal mechanisms generating sensory diversity, because different Trks are expressed in different sensory neuron subpopulations. Here we show in chick a...

Since low birth weight is a leading cause of infant mortality,7 varying rates of this outcome among Hispanic subgroups may translate to similarly varying patterns in infant mortality. On the other hand, if access to neonatal intensive care services differs by maternal birthplace or ethnicity, then infant mortality rates might not reflect differences in low-birth-weight rates among Hispanic subg...

Volume 29, Number 4, July/August 1997 language would, in practice, have serious unintended consequences, such as nullifying laws allowing minors to obtain confidential reproductive health care and other sensitive health services, disrupting school sex education and AIDS prevention activities, and impeding the removal of children from abusive homes. However, the outcome also appears to reflect a...
