A Recurrent Theme
Ricki Lewis | Jun 10, 2005 | 1 min read
I just had dinner with a Drosophila geneticist, an historian of science specializing in taxonomy, a paleontologist whose expertise is trilobites, and a developmental biologist who is using sea anemone genome data to map mutants, the opposite of the way things were done when I was in graduate school. By now, we all pretty much know one another, and when I looked over at the other tables, I noted the eclectic mixes. Everyone here is talking about it, how this meeting is like no other. AAAS (Am

Untangling Neuronal Calcium Signaling
Amy Adams | Jan 20, 2002 | 10 min read
From the very moment of conception, calcium plays a pivotal role in fetal development. It rushes in as a wave around the egg to herald the sperm's arrival, binding to proteins that help kick off the whole developmental process. From this first influx, calcium continues to play a critical role in how the body's cells respond to outside signals. Calcium tells muscles to contract and nerves to release neurotransmitters, and is at least part of the signal that helps people form and retain memories.
Scientists Strike a Cord

Courtesy of SR Eng  BABY STAINS: The head of a transgenic murine embryo in which a marker enzyme has been specifically expressed in the sensory neurons of the trigeminal and dorsal root ganglia. The marker allows staining of the projections of these neurons into, among other areas, the hindbrain and spinal cord. (S.R. Eng et al., "Defects in sensory axon growth precede neuronal death in Brn3a-deficient mice," J Neurosci, 21:541-9, 2001.) Somewhere in the 200 million bases of the human ge
