Moreau et al. A single group, the Leptanillinae, lies at the base of the tree, while all the other groups fall into two major clusters. By using fossils to calibrate the rates of DNA evolution in ants, they con- clude that present-day ants arose approximately to million years ago.

Dur- ing this maternal-to-zygotic transition, a large number of maternal mRNAs are somehow eliminated. Hundreds of miR target mRNAs are maternally expressed during early development, and miR can promote their deacetylation and decay. Thus, during the maternal-to-zygotic transition in zebrafish embryogenesis, miR plays a critical role. Liver was found to express serotonin receptors. Mice with impaired platelet function had a reduced regenerative response, but when treated with a serotonin receptor agonist, hepatocyte proliferation was restored.

Liver regeneration in mice lacking peripheral serotonin was also restored when their platelets were reloaded with serotonin. Therapeutic treatment with serotonin receptor agonists may thus be useful in tissue recovery. Limits to Evolutionary Flexibility Genetic mutations are the substrate for evolution. Genes conferring fitness can accumulate multiple mutations during a period of selection.

There are, of course, many potential evolutionary trajectories for the appearance of these mutations. However, it is likely that not all trajectories are available because the fitness of individual mutations may depend on the genetic background in which they appear. Weinreich et al. Only 18 of a potential routes to high fitness are accessible to selection, due to pleiotropic effects of the mutations on the enzyme. Therapy for Marfan Syndrome Marfan syndrome MFS is a hereditary disorder characterized by systemwide defects in connec- tive tissue.

People with MFS have a greatly increased risk of developing an aortic aneurysm, a bulge in the wall of the aorta that can rupture and cause life-threatening internal bleeding. Studying a mouse model of MFS, Habashi et al. Losartan is already widely used to control high blood pressure, and the authors suggest that a prospective clinical trial in MFS patients is warranted. And it does it without columns.

All to give you electrophoresis. Several metamorphoses followed over the next half-century: drugs were added; food laws were amended; and the agency moved to the Department of Health, Education and Welfare after World War II.

It still bears remnants of that history: the FDA gets its appropriation from Agriculture committees in Congress and its oversight from Health and Commerce committees. What that meant, as I discovered when I became FDA commissioner in , was that you go to rural conservatives for your money and to consumer-friendly urbanites for punishment or occasional praise.

Somehow the FDA has managed to retain a fairly respectable image with U. Food safety is a serious public concern, and most people like the fact that the FDA protects them from things such as bad seafood and aflatoxin in corn.

The approval process for drugs and medical devices is trickier. Industry argues that FDA regulation keeps valuable therapies away from us, whereas consumers claim that it approves too many drugs with harmful side effects.

Yet most Americans think the agency is staffed by seasoned professionals who have the public interest at heart and do their jobs with professional skill. After he explains that, his next challenge will be to deal with the Plan B contraceptive, which remains unavailable despite an advisory committee recommendation and is now hung up pending a long public comment period to evaluate whether it should available over the counter to women over the age of Drug safety questions arose over the use of antidepressants by adolescents.

Then came Vioxx and other COX-2 inhibitors and concerns about cardiovascular side effects. In the medical devices area, problems surfaced regarding the initial approval and postmarketing safety surveillance of certain pacemakers produced by the Guidant Corporation.

Finally, there is the ethical controversy about patient protection in the clinical trial for a blood substitute called PolyHeme. Northfield Laboratories seeks approval for its use in treating hemorrhagic blood loss after trauma. In the trial, one group of patients will get PolyHeme while a control group gets saline along with blood transfusions.

How do you get informed consent from a trauma victim? You waive the requirement for it! The Office of Human Research Protections objected vainly to that for over 2 years, and the FDA has been dressed down by a furious Senator Charles Grassley over its prolonged unresponsiveness. If this is an adequate proxy for informed consent, I am a coloratura soprano. Despite the recent requirement that pediatric drugs be approved and the need to monitor increasingly international drug production, appropriations have not accompanied the new mandates, and earmarks have cut the budget further.

Or maybe money? Lining up the Ducks Tide gauge and satellite measurements indicate that global mean sea level has increased by 1. A significant fraction of this increase is ascribed to glacial melting caused by warming, with the remainder due to thermal expansion of the oceans. However, the simultaneous agree- ment in the movement of the rotational pole, the historical obser- vations of ancient eclipses which allow trends in the length of day to be computed , and space-based gravity measurements which reflect mass redistributions has seemingly precluded any major Redistributing mass alters rotational speed.
