Two 54-hour-old zebrafish embryos that were injected with 3000 dsRed-expressing E. coli at the age of 30 hours. The bacteria have spread throughout the body, but healthy fish will eventually eliminate them through innate immune mechanisms. If gamma interferon signalling is compromised, the fish is no longer able to eliminate the bacteria. See research article by Sieger et al. on page 571. - PDF Icon PDF LinkTable of contents

Telomeres and Tetrahymena: an interview with Elizabeth Blackburn
Elizabeth Blackburn knows that loose ends contribute to aging and many of its associated diseases. She, together with Carol Greider and Jack Szostak, received the 2009 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their work on the synthesis and function of telomeres, the unusual DNA sequences at the ends of chromosomes. Telomere changes are now recognized in human diseases ranging from cancer and cardiovascular disease to depression. Here, she discusses her approach to mentorship, how scientists might inform public policy, and new directions in telomere research.
