© Mark Smith/Photo Researchers The slim, striped zebrafish, one of the newest and wettest members of the model organism family, has attributes that researchers look for: size, fecundity, and low maintenance costs. Toss in a couple more assets--its visible internal development, and its genetic similarity to mice and humans--and this fish's return-on-investment increases. But it arguably would not have gained its formidable reputation had it not responded so well to new techniques. Studie

However, I like to think it not a compulsion, but a Feng Shui approach to life. With this need for order, I may have been better suited to

Organellar Proteomics
Matthias Mann | Apr 11, 2004 | 6 min read
For nearly 300 years, cell biology has been largely an observational science. Robert Hooke in 1665 saw structures under the microscope that he called cells. Anthony van Leeuwenhoek discovered cellular substructures in 1700, which Robert Brown dubbed 'nuclei' in 1833. Cell biologists have described many other substructures since then, the most prominent among them being the mitochondria, Golgi apparatus, endoplasmic reticulum, and nucleolus.With the advent of molecular biology, cell biologists we
