Therefore I shall not try to predict what will be going on in accident and emergency (A&E) departments in 25 years time. What I would like to do is look a...

I am extremely happy and highly honored to respond to this request but wonder if I can do justice to such an important occasion . The founding of the ASNR in 1962 was an important step in the development of neuroradiolo...

Exponential advances in Forest Genetics: the past 25 years and the next 25 weeks

A history of Forest Biotechnology will be briefly reviewed, from the first cloned tree gene, transgenic trees, DNA markers, genetic maps, QTLs, marker assisted breeding to genome sequencing. Perspectives of newer methods and their applications will be discussed, including integration of genetics and RNA-seq, metabolomics, and proteomics. New applications may be anticipated or expected for breed...

Most cross species transmission to man probably fizzles out, but the transmission of HIV 1 type M around 1930 eventually resulted in a pandemic that has spread around the world. HIV 2 types A and B have caused epidemics in West...
