...longer I carried on, the greater the fear became.'' In the House of Commons, however, she is fearless. Proud of her working-class roots--she's a bricklayer's daughter--Jackson concentrates on transportation issues. Last week she led her party's attack in opposing privatization of the London Tube. When elections are held this spring, Labour is favored to win. Jackson is reported to be in the running as a possible Cabinet member, but regally dismisses the notion, saying, "My only political ambition is to be re-elected...
Then, of course, there lies the truly inexplicable. "I love bikini wax" and "I love tube socks" announces one wall...
That dance begins at around the third week of gestation, when a thin layer of cells in the developing embryo performs an origami-like trick, folding inward to give rise to a fluid-filled cylinder known as the neural tube. As cells in the neural tube proliferate at the astonishing rate of 250,000 a minute, the brain and spinal cord assemble themselves in a series of tightly choreographed steps. Nature is the dominant partner during this phase of development, but nurture plays a vital supportive role. Changes in the environment of the womb--whether caused by maternal malnutrition, drug...
...they go right. This is all the more remarkable, says Berkeley's Shatz, as the central nervous system of an embryo is not a miniature of the adult system but more like a tadpole that gives rise to a frog. Among other things, the cells produced in the neural tube must migrate to distant locations and accurately lay down the connections that link one part of the brain to another. In addition, the embryonic brain must construct a variety of temporary structures, including the neural tube, that will, like a tadpole's tail, eventually disappear...
...year was 1994, and the new drugs were finally producing good results in the test tube. They worked against laboratory strains of the virus; they worked against viral samples taken from patients. Where AZT merely slowed viral reproduction, the protease inhibitors shut it down almost completely. Unfortunately, almost wasn't good enough. It often took less than a month for a few viral particles to mutate into a strain that was resistant to protease inhibitors. The new drugs were starting to look like another failure...
