Fast Moving Front Comment by:
Peter Parham
|
Major histocompatibility complex class I and killer-cell
immunoglobulin-like receptor variants influence resistance
to infections, susceptibility to autoimmune diseases and
complications of pregnancy, and such correlations suggest
that interplay between KIR and MHC class I polymorphisms
has facilitated human survival in the presence of epidemic
infections.

The NRT2.1 gene is a repressor of lateral root initiation
and this role is independent of nitrate uptake.
Arabidopsis NRT2.1 may act either
as a nitrate sensor or signal transducer to coordinate
the development of the root system with nutritional
cues.

Fast Moving Front Comment
by:
Kate B. Carey & Brian Borsari
|
Peer pressure is consistently implicated in the excessive
drinking by college students. Theory and empirical findings
suggest that peer pressure is a combination of three
distinct influences: overt offers of alcohol, modeling, and
social norms.
