Tropomyosin isoforms: divining rods for actin cytoskeleton function.
Actin filament functional diversity is paralleled by variation in the composition of isoforms of tropomyosin in these filaments. Although the role of tropomyosin is well understood in skeletal muscle, where it regulates the actin-myosin interaction, its role in the cytoskeleton has been obscure. The intracellular sorting of tropomyosin isoforms indicated a role in spatial specialization of acti...
متن کاملWater Supply and Health
Arguments over the relative importance of increasing consumption ('quantity') versus improving water safety ('quality') have been taking place since at least the beginning of the first United Nations water decade (the 1980s). For those living distant from a water source, using only around 3‐4 litres per person per day, and often suffering from hygiene related disease, the logical priority is to...
متن کاملDivining and knowing: Karl Sudhoff's historical method.
This article investigates the historical method of Karl Sudhoff (1853- 1938), Germany's first professor of medical history. It argues that in order to understand his ideas more fully, we need to step outside the historiography of medical history and assess his methodology in relation to the norms and ideals of German academic history writing in general. The article demonstrates that the philolo...
متن کاملDivining integrative medicine
Medicine, like scientific inquiry, is necessarily dynamic. As our understanding of health and disease continues to grow, medicine as we know it will change. Alternative therapies and perspectives that are coming to light will be illuminated by modern methods of inquiry applied to pre-modern healing systems. At the same time, patient demands and cultural concerns about health and healing influen...
متن کاملDivining God's mutation rate
The total genomic mutation rate (μ) and the deleterious mutation rate ( U ), are of fundamental importance to a number of areas of biology, including the classic evolutionary conundrum: why sex? Unfortunately, both μ and U have historically proven extremely difficult to measure accurately. A recent study by Haag-Liautard et al. (1) combines traditional experimental ’mutation accumulation’ metho...
