Phylogeny: The Continuing Classificatory Conundrum of Chaetognaths

The phylogenetic conundrum posed by the Chaetognatha, a cryptic phylum consisting largely of planktonic predators, is the subject of two short papers in this issue of Current Biology. These analyses go some way towards defining the phylogenetic position of the chaetognaths, which possess features apparently spanning the protostome/deuterostome divide.

Human herpesvirus 6 and multiple sclerosis: the continuing conundrum.

Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) is one of the latest in a long list of infectious agents postulated to play a role in the etiopatho-genesis of multiple sclerosis (MS). It is essential in critically evaluating the still exceedingly controversial association between MS and HHV-6 to understand the basic biology of the virus. HHV-6 was first isolated in 1986 from human peripheral blood mononuclear cell...

Preterm patent ductus arteriosus: A continuing conundrum for the neonatologist?

How to manage the preterm patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) remains a conundrum. On the one hand, physiology and statistical association with adverse outcomes suggest that it is pathological. On the other hand, clinical trials of treatment strategies have failed to show any long-term benefit. Ultrasound studies of PDA have suggested that the haemodynamic impact may be much earlier after birth than...
