How Does Nucleus Tell Signals Apart? It's in the Timing
When messages from outside the cell reach the nucleus via a single molecular cascade, variation may be conveyed by the timing of the signal, say John Blenis (left) and Leon Murphy. Specifically, the researchers found that sustained signals produce a different nuclear response than transient signals. Unlike transient signals, for example, those that are sustained may result in cell proliferation, which when unchecked is the hallmark of cancer.

Respecting Navajo Medicine May Collide with Preserving It
In her second year as a physician on the Navajo Reservation, Ellen Rothman witnesses the tension between the private, sacred performance of traditional practices and the desire to breach that sanctity to convey sacred ways more broadly to successive generations. Even the non-Navajo have a stake in the struggle.
