Protein May Tip Balance in the Fate of a Cell
The choice that embryonic cells of the nematode make about what kind of organ or tissue to become is guided by a protein recently identified by Yang Shi and his colleagues. This worm molecule has a counterpart in humans. In the future, the findings may aid in therapeutic cloning and cancer treatment.

Bedside Matter: Medical Engineering and Physics Meet Patient Care
Some students take on the engineering and physics of medicine and then start anew, negotiating patient care. Esther Landhuis reports on two such students in the Medical Engineering and Medical Physics Program within the Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology. Their path is an academic Everest.
