Members of Harvard's Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology unanimously praised Ptashne and his work...
Mallinckrodt Professor of Molecular and Cellular Biography James C. Wang, whose laboratory is located next to Ptashne's old Harvard laboratory, said he views Ptashne's resignation from the Harvard faculty as "a big loss to Harvard," but said that he thought his award was "a wonderful thing...
Mallinckrodt Professor of Molecular and Cellular Biology Tom Maniatis, who worked with ptashne as a post-doctoral fellow and collaborated with him on much of his research, including Ptashne's investigation of repressors, said that the award to Ptashne is "long overdue...
...years ago with the killing of Jonny Gammage, a cousin of Ray Seals, then star defensive end of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Gammage, 31, was driving Seals' Jaguar through a mostly white suburban neighborhood when he was stopped by police, ostensibly for driving erratically. After an officer knocked a cellular phone from Gammage's hand--he later claimed he thought it was a gun--officers pinned Gammage face down on the pavement. He later died of suffocation. Only three of the five suburban officers present went to trial. One was acquitted of involuntary homicide by an all-white jury. The case...
Ordinarily pretty harmless stuff, homocysteine is used by the body to help manufacture proteins and carry out cellular metabolism. Too much of it, however, appears to cause blood platelets to clump together and vascular walls to begin to break down. In older patients, a lifetime of this damage may give arteries the scarred and thickened texture that provides circulating cholesterol with a place to stick and grow. In the young boy, accelerated homocysteine production caused by a genetic defect apparently led to accelerated damage. In both instances, however, McCully points to the same chemical culprit. "The underlying cause of heart...
