A Read-Through Drug Put through Its Paces
An estimated 10% of all human genetic diseases are caused by nonsense mutations. These look like the stop codons that occur naturally at the ends of proteincoding sequences in our genomes, but they arise instead in the middle of the protein code, with potentially devastating consequences. Instead of faithfully trundling along a gene transcript, translating it into a useful protein product, the ...
متن کاملWhat skills are tested in the new PACES examination?
The MRCP(UK) PACES examination has been sat by almost 40,000 candidates in 10 countries around the world since its introduction in 2001. The examination assesses skills of relevance to the practice and delivery of high quality clinical care and is the leading international postgraduate summative assessment of this kind. In 2009, the examination was revised, and this article describes those revi...
متن کاملAn off-axis, wide-field, diffraction-limited, reflective Schmidt Telescope
Off-axis telescopes with unobstructed pupils offer great advantages in terms of emissivity, throughput, and diffractionlimited energy concentration. For most telescope designs, implementation of an off-axis configuration imposes enormous penalties in terms of cost, optical difficulty and performance, and for this reason off-axis telescopes are rarely constructed. However, for the reflective Sch...
متن کاملAutophagy Shows Its Animal Side
Most autophagy genes have been discovered in the single-celled yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and little is known about autophagy genes that are specific to multicellular animals. In this issue, Tian et al. (2010) now identify four new autophagy genes: one specific to the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans and three conserved from worms to mammals.
متن کاملBRWD1 shows its gender bias
Pattabiraman et al. add a subtle and unexpected entry to the long list of differences between the sexes. The researchers discovered that a protein that controls gene expression in maturing sperm performs a different function in maturing oocytes, where it promotes chromosome condensation and stability (1). Once meiosis is complete in male mammals, the resulting cells, known as spermatids, underg...
