Comments by James E. Darnell, Jr., Rockefeller University; George R. Stark, Cleveland Clinic Foundation Research Institute; and Zhong Zhong, Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons

These papers are two among a host of highly cited reports on the subject of signal transduction involving two protein families-the JAKs and STATs-to emerge from the laboratories of James E. Darnell, Jr. at Rockefeller University, Ian M. Kerr of the Imperial Cancer Research Fund in London, and George R. Stark of the Cleveland Clinic Foundation Research Institute. They represent two independent approaches-genetic and biochemical-to studying various aspects of the signaling system.
