Programmed cell death (PCD) occurs during the development of all animals that have been
studied, but only recently has its molecular basis been discovered. In this review, we briefly …

At a party where I work, we were drinking some homemade beer. As we shifted back and
forth between two different batches, it became clear that one of the batches was significantly …

During the development of the vertebrate nervous system, up to 50 percent or more of many
types of neurons normally die soon after they form synaptic connections with their target cells…

WHEN the mammalian proto-oncogene bcl-2 is overexpressed it can protect various types of
cells both from normal and from experimentally induced apoptosis 1–6 A but the molecular …

Bcl-2 is a proto-oncoprotein with apparently one function—to suppress programmed cell
death (PCD)—yet how it does so remains a mystery. Several authors have proposed that Bcl-2 …

The multidisciplinary study of complex systems in the physical and social sciences over the
past quarter of a century has led to the articulation of important new conceptual perspectives …

Traditional ways of preventing and treating overweight and obesity have almost invariably
focused on changing the behavior of individuals, an approach that has proven woefully …

Although the use of hypertext systems for learning complex knowledge has been attracting
recent attention, we currently have poor theoretical and research perspectives from which to …

… Requests for reprints should be sent to Michael F. Jacobson, PhD, Center for Science in the
Public Interest, 1875 Connecticut … MF Jacobson did most of the research for this paper. MF …

PROGRAMMED cell death (PCD) is a fundamental feature of animal cells 1 , but the mechanism
remains unknown. Similarly, the Bcl-2 oncoprotein can suppress PCD in a variety of cell …
