Two weeks ago, an interesting commentary by Paul Nurse, came out in Nature. The bottom line? We need to change how we study and understand cellular signaling cascades. First, some background. Cellular function is governed by a network of protein interactions that act like an information processing…
Yes you've guessed it, I'm in Italy. Here is another entry dealing with scientific thinking. Spurred on by some comments left by Coturnix on the Three Types of Experiments entry, and by the Microparadigm paper (see my entry, and another discussion of this paper at In the Pipeline), I now present to…
Spurred on by some comments left by Coturnix on the Three Types of Experiments entry, and by the Microparadigm paper (see my entry, and another discussion of this paper at In the Pipeline), I now present to you ... the significance of negative data. Now most of the older (and well read)…
So in previous posts I've written: How to think about biology, Life is full of machines and Life and information. I guess I'm on some philosophy of Biological study kick. Now I'll put the pieces of the puzzle and talk about what those proteins encode in the typical mammalian organism. This will go…

Well, it's very good at showing part of what happens during diapedesis, but I don't know about "all of cellular biology in a nutshell."

Well, I was kind of hoping that that video would be it and I could be done with my PhD now, instead of it being years away.

It's a reasonable summary of some of the things that go on in a mammalian cell. A better title for this article would be "The Inner Life of a Mammalian Cell."

Other kinds of cells are bacterial cells (prokaryotes), fungi, and plants. I try to fight against the mammal-centric bias that's so common among medical researchers. We need to get the word out that there's more to biology than just humans and their close relatives.

There is?

hey..totally unrelated to this subject...just wanted to let you know that steve pinker is going to be on the colbert report...check it out guys!!
