After transcription in the nucleus, RNA binding proteins (RBPs) recognize cis-regulatory RNA elements within pre-mRNA sequence to form mRNA-protein (mRNP) complexes. Similarly to DNA binding proteins such as transcription factors that regulate gene expression by binding to DNA elements in the promoters of genes, RBPs regulate the fate of target RNAs by interacting with specific sequences or RNA secondary structural features within the transcri...

The Author is glad also to have this opportunity of calling attention to the great deve...

Excerpt from Health Resorts and Their Uses: Being Vacation Studies in Various Health Resorts The following studies of various Health Resorts have afforded me a congenial occupation during several of my annual holidays, and have most of them appeared, from time to time, in the pages of The Fortnightly Review or in the columns of The Times newspaper. It has often been suggested to me by those, the correctness of whose judgment I could not doub...

Different ideas are difficult to test in dental and medical fields because clinical trials on human beings are ethically limited. Many inspiring thoughts are, therefore, frequently ignored, that is, clinicians and researchers in those fields are generally conservative against the new ideas, and are dependent on traditional methods and opinions with long experience histories. However, such thoughts, ignored at present, may prove to be right, be...

Excerpt from Steam and the Marine Steam-Engine Condensing. - The steam, when its work is done, is allowed to escape from the cylinder, but not usually to the atmosphere, it passes generally to an exhausted condensing vessel, where it is immediately condensed to water, and the resistance the exhaust steam would otherwise offer to the piston's motion is thus largely removed. In certain cases, as in locomotive engines, the con denser is omitted ...

Excerpt from A Manual of Medical Treatment: Or Clinical Therapeutics Although this work was revised so recently as 1902, the activity of medical research is now so considerable that it has appeared desirable that it should again undergo the process of thorough revision, so that it may be maintained on a level with modern medical progress, so far as this bears on actual clinical work. No change, however, has been made in the method of the wor...

Ribonucleic acid (RNA) binding proteins currently number in the thousands and defects in their function are at the heart of diseases such as cancer and neurodegeneration.  RNA binding proteins have become implicated in the intricate control of surprisingly diverse biological settings, such as circadian rhythm, stem cell self-renewal, oncogenesis and germ cell development. This book surveys a range of genome-wide and systems approaches to study...
