متن کاملCajal bodies: where form meets function.
The cell nucleus contains dozens of subcompartments that separate biochemical processes into confined spaces. Cajal bodies (CBs) were discovered more than 100 years ago, but only extensive research in the past decades revealed the surprising complexity of molecular and cellular functions taking place in these structures. Many protein and RNA species are modified and assembled within CBs, which ...
متن کاملWhere transcription meets repair.
DNA damage can be caused by a broad range of agents. Both environmental and cellular damage-inducing factors threaten cellular integrity largely by impinging upon two vital processes: replication and transcription. The interference of replication by DNA damage and the deleterious consequences are relatively well understood (for details see Sancar and Sancar, 1988). Significantly, DNA damage has...
متن کاملWhere science meets society.
T he theme for next week's American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) annual meeting, " The Nexus: Where Science Meets Society, " reminds us of many events of the past few years that suggest that the relationship between science and society is undergoing significant stress. Some members of the public are finding certain lines of scientific research and their outcomes disquieting...
متن کاملWhere Biology meets computing
AlAn Turing died in 1954 in his laboratory after eating a cyanide-laced apple. Though Turing’s mother believed her son’s death to be a result of the kind of accidents that befalls absent-minded mathematicians engaged in laboratory experiments, it is generally assumed to be a suicide. During his last years, Turing had become an experimentalist, interested in bio-chemical systems. He had proposed...
