Immune Proteins Found Moonlighting in Brain
Researchers led by Carla Shatz have discovered immune proteins in the brains of mice. In the immune system, these molecules are part of a lock-and-key mechanism that helps recognize and destroy foreign invaders. In the brain, they may be part of a remodeling process that pinpoints and eliminates inappropriate nerve cell connections.

The Internet: Key to Solving the Materials and Methods Mystery
According to Heather Ettinger, the materials and methods section of scientific papers is shrinking, largely due to the space constraints of print publications. This makes reproducing the experiments problematic. She suggests publishing a complete version of these sections on the Web is an obvious solution—and one that could improve the conduct of science.
