In
a recent study, a Pacific National Northwest Laboratory team led by
2010 Scientist of the Year Richard D. Smith at least doubled the number
of proteins found to be subject to a type of regulation based on a sugar
known as O-GlcNAc.
The finding is potentially crucial to an understanding of the type of
regulatory system that allows protein tangling associated with
Alzheimer’s disease.

If you have been in enough offices, or thumbed through enough airline
magazines, you’ve seen them: motivational posters with high quality,
dramatic images from nature or sports depicting themes such as
“Teamwork”, “Attitude”, “Excellence”, and similar concepts. Enterprising
individuals have been inspired to create knock-offs that lampoon the
posters.

The numbers are stark but abstract: HIV is still a deadly disease that
infects more than 33 million people in and kills
than 2 million people each year through its effects. Researchers must not only find a vaccine; they must fight to keep the ball rolling on an effort that could take another 30 years to solve.

like, what they don’t like, and improvements they would like to see.
Then, we asked the companies that develop these tools to describe what
they offer, and what they are doing to meet market demands.
