This paper describes the effects of redox-related forms of nitric oxide--NO--on nerve cells. Jonathan S. Stamler, an associate professor of medicine at Duke University Medical Center, recounts that "at the time it was published, there were many paradoxes in the NO field. For every report describing an effect, there was a report describing exactly the opposite."

"People knew it had very different effects--they just didn't know why," explains Stuart A. Lipton, an associate professor of neurology at Harvard Medical School.

The divergent responses, he says, are "due to very ...

Bunsen Burners and Bad Hair Days

Lab safety rules dictate that one must tie back long hair. Rosemarie Hansen learned the hard way when an open flame turned her locks into a lesson.
