Molecular Jumping Jack Shows Off Moves
In a new take on the structure and function of an integrin cell adhesion molecule, Timothy Springer and colleagues describe its limber moves in both the resting and active states. Their findings are based on a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) solution structure. The molecule's activity has broad relevance in the body, underlying blood clotting, cancer spread, and other pivotal events.

The rain couldn't dampen the spirits of HMS and HSDM students or their families and friends as they celebrated the culmination of four or more years of hard work on Class Day, June 6. Daniel Federman, who addressed the new physicians and dentists, urged them to translate the nation's scientific framework and health infrastructure into real care for patients. Above is graduating medical student Eyiuche Okeke.

 Retreat Promotes Culture of Collaboration to Counter Neurodegeneration
A retreat at the end of May attended by senior representatives of the greater HMS neuroscience community strongly endorsed more open collaboration as a new mode of research into the complexities of neurodegeneration. Adrian Ivinson (left) and Dennis Selkoe believe the time is right and the need is great for this new cooperation.
