FEATURESystems Biology © THOM GRAVES Lessons from EGFR research show how to kick-start a systems approach for other areas of biology BY H. STEVEN WILEYARTICLE EXTRASInfographic: Seeing EGFR from a Systems PerspectiveIf you want to start an interesting debate at almost any scientific meeting, just bring up systems biology.

Mining Bacterial Small Molecules
L. Caetano M. Antunes, Julian E. Davies and B. Brett Finlay | Jan 1, 2011 | 10 min read
As much as rainforests or deep-sea vents, the human gut holds rich stores of microbial chemicals that should be mined for their pharmacological potential.
Translation Just in the Cytoplasm? Think Again
Jeffrey Perkel | Oct 28, 2001 | 7 min read
Paradigms don't shift easily. But in a recent paper,1 researchers-nearly four years after their initial observation and one year after boarding the journal-submission carousel-are challenging one of modern biology's central tenets. For at least 25 years, biologists have believed that although transcription and translation are coupled in bacteria, they are separated in eukaryotic cells. However, new work from Peter Cook's laboratory at the University of Oxford, UK, which demonstrates translation
Biochemical, Reagents Kits Offer Scientists Good Return On Investment
Holly Ahern | Jul 23, 1995 | 8 min read
Investment Author:Holly Ahern If you were to ask several life scientists to name a particular biochemical product that they simply could not do without, you'd probably get a myriad of answers that would mirror the research interests of the group you questioned. A molecular evolutionist trying to differentiate two closely related species of monkeys by restriction fragment-length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis might cite restriction enzymes, which can cut DNA into pieces of varying length. A cell b
NIDR Supports New Research Pathways

AUTHOR: KAREN YOUNG KREEGER, pp.14 Date: May 16,1994 Arthritis, AIDS, and signal transduction may not be areas of investigation that immediately come to mind when one thinks of dental research. But the National Institute of Dental Research's (NIDR) range of interests and achievement has in recent years broadened well beyond the institute's original 1948 mandate to improve the oral health of the American people.

Six Receive Lasker Foundation Medical Research Awards
The Scientist Staff | Oct 1, 1989 | 7 min read
The 1989 Albert and Mary Lasker Foundation Medical Research Awards, given to six scientists for their achievements in the medical sciences and public health administration, were announced last week. The awards, first presented in 1944, are divided into three categories: public service, clinical medical research, and basic medical research. A $15,000 prize is given in each Category. Lewis Thomas, 75, scholar-in-residence at Cornell University Medical College, Ithaca, N.Y., received the 1989 Al
How Well Do Mice Model Humans?
Ricki Lewis | Oct 25, 1998 | 8 min read
STRIKING RESEMBLANCE: James Croom, who studies Down syndrome mice at North Carolina State University, says the animals are providing valuable information useful to humans. When a page-one article in the May 3, 1998, Sunday New York Times portrayed angiogenesis inhibitors that fight cancer in mice as being possible just around the corner for humans, criticism for raising false hopes erupted. Merely 10 weeks later, however, when researchers from the University of Hawaii reported cloning the fi
60 Members Elected to NAS

Editor's Note: On May 2, the National Academy of Sciences announced the election of 60 new members and 15 foreign associates from nine countries in recognition of their distinguished and continuing achievements in original research. Nearly half of the new members are life scientists. In this article, The Scientist presents photographs of some of the new members and comments from a few of them on their careers and on past and current research. A full directory of NAS members can be found online a
