Breaking Down Barriers in Science with Help from a Jellyfish: A Q&A with Martin Chalfie
Vendredi 17 Octobre 2008 - 15:00 - 1 mois, 2 semaines depuis - Presse spécialisée - Scientific American On October 8, Martin Chalfie, chairman of Columbia University's Department of Biological Sciences, got the call that every scientist wants to receive--only he slept right through it. The Nobel Foundation was ringing him at about 6 A.M. (in New York City) to let him know they had just awarded him, along Osamu Shimomura and Roger Tsien, this year's Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their work on green fluorescent protein (GFP). A few minutes after the phone stopped ringing, Chalfie logged onto the Nobel Foundation's Web site to see who they had honored this year, only to find himself in the winner's circle for a tool he had helped develop to let scientists illuminate and study living cells in real time.We sat down with Chalfie in his office on Columbia's campus to discuss the Nobel, GFP and his other research.

Understanding Grief: When Time Doesn't Heal All Wounds
Jeudi 16 Octobre 2008 - 22:00 - 1 mois, 2 semaines depuis - Presse spécialisée - Scientific American Losing a loved one is always painful, but for most people time eventually heals the wounds. For about 10 to 20 percent of the bereaved, however, accepting and getting over a loss remains extremely difficult, even years later. Now researchers have come a step closer to elucidating the neurobiological underpinnings of this condition called complicated grief (CG). An August 15 functional MRI study in NeuroImage shows that in CG patients reminders of the deceased activate a brain area associated with reward processing, pleasure and addiction.A team led by Mary-Frances O’Connor of the University of California, Los Angeles, studied 23 women--11 of whom suffered from CG--who had lost a mother or sister to breast cancer in the past five years. While in the scanner, the women saw pictures and words that reminded them of their loved one. Brain networks associated with social pain became activated in all women, but in the CG patients reminders of the deceased also excited the nucleus accumbens, a forebrain area most commonly associated with reward.
