In this issue of Blood,Gerber et al use aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) activity to further subdivide the CD34(+)CD38(-) compartment in the bone marrow of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients. They identify a unique population with intermediate ALDH activity (ALDH(int)) that contains leukemia stem cells (LSCs). Moreover, persistence of this population after therapy is a marker of clinically sign...

Decades of research on voting in American elections have consistently identified political parties as a predominant determinant of vote choice. Parties play a valuable role in helping voters overcome a lack of substantive information by providing them with low-information cues and shortcuts. However, in many elections, party cues are either absent (as in ballot measure elections and non-partisa...

The Satisfactory Partition problem consists in deciding if a given graph has a partition of its vertex set into two nonempty parts such that each vertex has at least as many neighbors in its part as in the other part. This problem was introduced by Gerber and Kobler [GK98, GK00] and further studied by other authors but its complexity remained open until now. We prove in this paper that Satisfac...

The provision of effective services to patients from diverse linguistic backgrounds is a big challenge within the South African healthcare system (Mosdell, Balchin & Ameen, 2010; Pascoe & Norman, 2011; Van Dulm & Southwood, 2014). Almost 20 years after becoming an officially multilingual country, the provision of speech-language therapist (SLT) services to a linguistically diverse population re...

Central circadian clock oscillators, located in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) of the hypothalamus, align peripheral clock systems with geosynchronous time. Gerber et al. (2013) identify actin polymerization and serum response factor (SRF) activation as key steps linking the central master clock to peripheral oscillators.
