Brainstorms Abound At NIH's Neurological And Stroke Institute
Neeraja Sankaran | Mar 19, 1995 | 8 min read
Research in the neurosciences is in the midst of a particularly exciting period of discovery, says Zach Hall, director of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), as scientists continue to learn more about the basic biology of such disorders as stroke, epilepsy, and degenerative conditions like Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, and Huntington's diseases. Hall's institute has supported and participated in many of these landmark studies. Now the field stands poised on the brin

Cloning Capsized?
Ted Agres | Aug 19, 2001 | 10+ min read
Biopharmaceutical researchers fear how pending federal legislation outlawing the cloning of human cells will restrict their abilities to find cures for major degenerative diseases.1,2 Some also see lawmakers impinging on established nonhuman cloning techniques essential for the discovery of new drugs and therapies. The source of all this worry? The US House of Representatives passed July 31 by a wide margin a bill (H.R. 2505) sponsored by Reps. David Weldon (R-Fla.) and Bart Stupak (D-Mich.) th

EYE CANDY:Courtesy of Greg Suh, University of California Los Angeles, Andrew Moore, InfrancoMoore GroupThis developing eye from a chimeric Drosophila has wild-type tissue at the top and csn5 mutant tissue at the bottom causing disorganization. Overlaid is a schematic showing the predicted metalloprotease site of CSN5 cleaving an isopeptide bond.It doesn't take a green thumb to predict what happens to plants left in the dark: They wither. But in the late 1980s and early 1990s, researchers, includ
