Tantalizing tantalum.
Element 73 was first extracted from mineral samples and described in 1802 by the Swedish chemist Anders Ekeberg. He chose the name tantalum because “when placed in the midst of acids it is incapable of taking any of them up and saturating itself with them”, in a manner reminiscent of the Greek mythological king Tantalus (pictured) who couldn’t eat or drink anything despite being surrounded by f...
متن کاملTantalizing Glimpses into a Fragmented Genome
Oxytricha trifallax is an unusual enough organism on the outside. Neither plant nor animal, covered with tiny hair-like protuberances, this one-celled protozoan cruises ponds and puddles in search of microbial meals. But even more unusual is what’s inside. Like other ciliates, O. trifallax has two nuclei: a micronucleus, which contains its entire genome, and a macronucleus, which houses an edit...

We explore the behavior change needed to stop the obesity epidemic in the U.S. RESEARCH METHODS AND PROCEDURES We modeled the population distribution of BMI as a log-normal curve of which the mean shifts upward with time due ...
متن کاملTranscription Tantalizing Times for T Cells
The T helper lymphocyte is responsible for orchestrating an appropriate immune response to pathogens. To do so, it has evolved into two specialized subsets that direct type 1 and type 2 immunity. Here, we discuss the genetic programs that control lineage commitment of progenitor T helper cells along each of these pathways.
متن کاملInterventional cardiovascular magnetic resonance: still tantalizing
The often touted advantages of MR guidance remain largely unrealized for cardiovascular interventional procedures in patients. Many procedures have been simulated in animal models. We argue these opportunities for clinical interventional MR will be met in the near future. This paper reviews technical and clinical considerations and offers advice on how to implement a clinical-grade intervention...
