...removed. Kafatos was certain that the liquid did come from the tubes. Yet when he mashed the tubes, expecting to find the enzyme, no enzyme was present. One of Kafatos' typical brainstorms saved the day. He realized that the liquid he had been collecting was produced by two glands. The old silk tubes produced the inert part of the liquid while a special gland on the face secreted the enzyme itself. Kafatos substantiated these findings by proving that the moths could produce the enzyme even if the silk tubes were removed at an early stage of the pupa's development...
...this case continual messages to the cytoplasm are superfluous. Kafatos has been able to correlate stability and differentiation. He made this important discovery in a research project which began with an undergraduate, Julianne Reich '67, a former Bio 15 student now at the Medical School. The gland on the moth's face which produces large amounts of a single enzyme is an example of a highly differentiated organ. About 70 per cent of the protein made by this gland is one enzyme, "cocoonaise." The rest is proteins needed for cell maintenance and growth. The message for making the differentiation - specific...
...problems; a' Septuagenarian marriage ceremony in which the bride momentarily forgot the name of the groom; a daughter guiltily registering her arthritic father in a home.

The 45-minute operation, performed by a team of six doctors headed by Italy's renowned surgeon, Professor Pietro Valdoni, 67, took place in an up-to-date operating theater installed last month in the Vatican. The first major surgery ever performed on a Pope "went excellently," said the Vatican, and the Pope should be up and about in two weeks...
