This review considers speaking in a second language from the perspective of motor–sensory
control. Previous studies relating brain function to the prior acquisition of two or more …

The innate immune response is critical for animal homeostasis and is conserved from
invertebrates to vertebrates. This response depends on specialized cells that recognize, internalize…

Scalloped (Sd) and Vestigial (Vg) are each needed forDrosophila wing development. We
show that Sd is required for Vg function and that altering their relative cellular levels inhibits …

Anti-mitotic agents such as paclitaxel and docetaxel are widely used for the treatment of
breast, ovarian and lung cancers. Although paclitaxel induces apoptosis, this drug also …

Inosine triphosphate pyrophosphohydrolase (ITPase) deficiency is a common inherited
condition characterized by the abnormal accumulation of inosine triphosphate (ITP) in …

Many developing and adult tissues are comprised of polarized epithelia. Proteins that are
asymmetrically distributed in these cells are thought to be localized by protein trafficking. Here …

An excess of elemental sulfur is generated annually from hydrodesulfurization in petroleum
refining processes; however, it has a limited number of uses, of which one example is the …

Multiple mechanisms tightly regulate mRNAs during their transcription, translation, and
degradation. Of these, the physical localization of mRNAs to specific cytoplasmic regions is …

SUBDIVISION of the limb primordia into compartments initiates pattern formation in the
developing limbs 1,2 . Interaction between distinctly specific cells in adjacent compartments leads …

Research using the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster has traditionally focused on understanding
how mutations affecting gene regulation or function affect processes linked to animal …
