Adrenarche: a cell biological perspective

A cell biological perspective on genome research

T HE genomes of several organisms are currently being sequenced at impressive rates, but some scientists have asked whether the final products will be worth the effort. Here we argue from both the history of structural biology and some encouraging initial results that the answer is a resounding yes. There have been five overlapping stages in the growth of structural biology. The ancients learne...

Ageing--a biological perspective.

Commentary A Cell Biological Perspective on Genome Research

T HE genomes of several organisms are currently being sequenced at impressive rates, but some scientists have asked whether the final products will be worth the effort. Here we argue from both the history of structural biology and some encouraging initial results that the answer is a resounding yes. There have been five overlapping stages in the growth of structural biology. The ancients learne...

A unified cell biological perspective on axon–myelin injury

Demyelination and axon loss are pathological hallmarks of the neuroinflammatory disorder multiple sclerosis (MS). Although we have an increasingly detailed understanding of how immune cells can damage axons and myelin individually, we lack a unified view of how the axon-myelin unit as a whole is affected by immune-mediated attack. In this review, we propose that as a result of the tight cell bi...

Biological Information - Definitions from a Biological Perspective

The objective of this paper is to analyze the properties of information in general and to define biological information in particular.
