The younger is almost blind, the elder is lame and his situation is getting worse and worse. The disease is related with something like "bilateral lesion sites in white matter of parietal lobes". But such kind of disease is difficult to deal with up to now. The family is anxious about the two lovely boys' safety. So their parents request any experts in this field provide some suggestions about how to cure this disease as soon as possible. Your help and attention is highly appreciated.

I've had INJECTIONS of CORTISONE AND PUVA LIGHT TREATMENTS. Fairly recently, I came across results from GENETIC REASEARCH that was being conducted at a MAJOR MEDICAL CENTER. One of the most amazing findings from this research was a treatment that virtually ELIMINATED PSORIASIS. I tried it and I have been completely free and clear of my psoriasis for the FIRST TIME IN 25 YEARS!!. Best of all, this treatment costs me less than $3 per month. Everyone who has studied this disease knows that there is no cure for PSORIASIS...not yet anyway. Anyone claiming to have a cure is not being truthful. But this TREATMENT allows you to lead the normal life you have dreamed of ever since you gave up wearing shorts and short sleeve shirts and swim suits for fear of embarrassment. You will no longer have to worry that people will see that you have something again. I PROMISE YOU THAT THIS WORKS AND WILL WORK FOR YOU AS WELL AS IT DID FOR ME. IT IS THE SAFEST AND MOST INEXPENSIVE PSORIASIS TREATMENT EVER!. If you want to find out how you can get the relief and knowledge I have, you will be sent a report with the necessary instructions. I will tell you what to buy, where to buy it (it is very safe and is bought over -the -counter), and how to take it properly for optimal effect. THIS IS NOT ABOUT MESSY CREAMS, HERBAL OR HOLISTIC CONCOCTIONS OR SUN BOX'S. It is a simple treatment that gives your body exactly what it needs to make you clear up. No one deserves to suffer with psoriasis needlessly any longer. To receive a copy of this safe and wonderfully easy treatment, send a check or money order for $20 plus shipping in one of the ways described below. Order now and I will include free my extra report on how to achieve complete skin health. There are additional steps we can take to enjoy soft, supple and healthy skin all the time.

The main BIOSCI FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) is accessible on the World Wide Web at URL http://www.bio.net/. If you can not find an answer to your question in this or other documentation, the BIOSCI technical support staff answers e-mail queries sent to biosci-help@net.bio.net We can only answer questions about the use of the newsgroups and mailing lists. We unfortunately do not have the staff to do Internet information searches or answer scientific questions. Please post those to the appropriate BIOSCI/bionet newsgroups. Contents: -------- 0) BIOSCI NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT!! 1) Using the WWW to access the BIOSCI/bionet newsgroups. 2) What to do about "spams," i.e., junk mail, ads, etc. 3) Examples of subscribing and unsubscribing to the mailing lists. 4) The BIOSCI user address and research interest directory. 0) BIOSCI NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT!! ------------------------------ BIOSCI's government funding has been expended, and we are now operating solely from advertising revenue that we have raised from our Web site at http://www.bio.net/. We need just a few minutes of your time to help us serve you. You can do two important things which will take very little time for you individually and will immensely help us continue to help you. First, please use our WWW system at http://www.bio.net/ to access the archives. You can post or reply to messages via your Web browser as described in item #1 below. Your usage helps attract sponsors. If you contact any of our sponsors, please be sure to thank them for supporting BIOSCI. It is critical for them to get this feedback if they are to continue their sponsorship for the long term. Second, if you work for a company or organization that provides products or services of interest to the biology community, please pass this message on to your marketing or marketing communications department or other appropriate group. Please ask them to help support BIOSCI by sponsoring our Web site and explain the uses and benefits of the system to the biology community. If they are interested, they can then contact us for further information at our tech support address, biosci-help@net.bio.net. 1) Using the WWW to access the BIOSCI/bionet newsgroups. -------------------------------------------------------- As of 10 December 1995, all BIOSCI/bionet full newsgroups are accessible through the World Wide Web (WWW) at URL http://www.bio.net. One can read and reply publicly or privately to both recent postings and archived messages through one's Web browser if it is configured properly to send e-mail. Each newsgroup is equipped with its own WAIS index. The main BIOSCI home page also has access to the BIO-JOURNALS Table of Contents database WAIS index and the BIOSCI user address database described in another item further below. 2) What to do about "spams," i.e., junk mail, ads, etc. ------------------------------------------------------- BIOSCI is a set of parallel USENET newsgroups (the "bionet" groups), mailing lists, and a hypermail archive at URL http://www.bio.net/. The same postings are distributed on all media (except for a small number of mailing-list-only groups at net.bio.net). Unfortunately it is becoming a despicable practice on the Internet (by a few people out to make a fast buck) to do automated mass postings to thousands of newsgroups and mailing lists. These attempts to grab free advertising are refered to as "spams" in the usual, somewhat boneheaded, net terminology. USENET is more susceptible to this practice, and many spams originate on the USENET groups and then are passed on to the mailing lists. However, spammers also get lists of mailing addresses and hit these too, so neither medium is immune. What should you do personally if you get junk mail? --------------------------------------------------- Just delete it and move on without reading it further. Filing a protest is becoming increasingly useless because spammers are often disguising the addresses where the messages are sent from. Unless you really understand Internet mail systems, your attempt at protest by sending replies to the message will often end up being sent to the address of an innocent person that the spammer is victimizing. What can BIOSCI/bionet do to protect its newsgroups? ---------------------------------------------------- The only solution currently available is to moderate the newsgroup. If this newsgroup is already moderated, then you are in good shape. Moderation protects the USENET distribution from about 95% of the spams that are being sent to date and protects the mailing lists completely. Moderation means, however, that someone has to take the time to review each message before it goes out. We have set up software here that simply allows the moderator to forward to an address at net.bio.net messages that (s)he wishes to have distributed. This takes no more time than that needed to read the message and pass it on, say about 1 min. per message. Most newsgroups currently have a discussion leader who is responsible for their newsgroup. The discussions leaders and their e-mail addresses are listed in the BIOSCI Information Sheet which is available on the Web at http://www.bio.net/. If a newsgroup is being hit with too many junk postings, please contact the discussion leader for that group and see if there is interest in moderating the group. Please do not assume that by simply posting a complaint to the newsgroup itself, anyone on the BIOSCI staff will act on your complaint. With close to 100 newsgroups to run, the BIOSCI staff has to rely on the discussion leaders of each newsgroup to report problems directly to us at biosci-help@net.bio.net. We will moderate any of our newsgroups if the discussion leader tells us that the readership of the group wishes to do so and if a moderator is willing to do the work. For most BIOSCI/bionet groups, this entails only a few minutes of work each day. Moderating a newsgroup will resolve probably 95% of the junk postings on the USENET distribution. Unfortunately there are easy ways for determined spammers to override the moderation mechanism on USENET, but we can protect our e-mail subscribers from unwanted postings if the newsgroup is moderated. You can also access our newsgroups over the WWW at URL http://www.bio.net. While this Web interface will not stop spammers from trying to post to the groups, this will give you yet another way, besides using USENET news, to keep the junk out of your personal mail files. For those of you with local USENET news systems, the Web interface will also give you faster access to new newsgroups and recent postings. 3) Examples of subscribing and unsubscribing to the mailing lists. ------------------------------------------------------------------ PLEASE NOTE: The BIOSCI management does NOT act on subscription/unsubscription requests that are posted improperly to the newsgroups and mailing lists. People who do this only bother everyone on the lists to no avail. Please be sure to follow the proper procedures below. Gory details are in the BIOSCI Information sheets on the Web at http://www.bio.net. Below we give an example utilizing the METHODS-AND-REAGENTS list at both of our two BIOSCI sites: Users in the Americas and Pacific Rim countries who use the BIOSCI ------------------------------------------------------------------ node at computer net.bio.net: ---------------------------- A) Determine the "listname" which is the <=8 character mail address ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ for the group. These can be found in the BIOSCI Info. Sheet. For the METHODS-AND-REAGENTS group the mailing address is methods@net.bio.net. The listname is the portion of the address to the left of the @ sign, i.e., "methods". The listname is used with the "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" commands illustrated below. B) Mail all commands in the body of a mail message addressed to biosci-server@net.bio.net. Do NOT send commands to the newsgroup posting addresses! Leave the Subject: line blank, any text on it will be ignored. C) In the body of your message put one or more of the following commands with an "end" command on the last line, e.g., subscribe methods unsubscribe methods end Do NOT put your e-mail address or other text on these lines. The server only allows you to cancel your subscription if the address on your mail header matches the address on our mailing list. Please ask for help at biosci-help@net.bio.net if your address has changed, e.g., if you know you are on the list but the server tells you that you are not a member. Users in Europe, Africa, and Central Asia who use the BIOSCI node at -------------------------------------------------------------------- computer daresbury.ac.uk (also known as dl.ac.uk): ------------------------------------------------- To subscribe and unsubscribe to/from the BIOSCI lists, you need to specify the full USENET newsgroup name with "bionet-news." prepended. The USENET newsgroup names are listed in the BIOSCI Information sheet on the Web at http://www.bio.net/. For the METHODS-AND-REAGENTS list the USENET newsgroup name is bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts, thus the appropriate commands are sub bionet-news.bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts unsub bionet-news.bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts These commands are included in a message addressed to mxt@dl.ac.uk, NOT to the newsgroup mailing addresses. As usual, include the text in the body of the message as text on the Subject: line is ignored. To unsubscribe from all the lists at the UK node, use unsub bionet-news Please note that if the address in the list is different than the one in your mail message header, you will not be able to unsubscribe by this method. If you have problems, please mail biosci@daresbury.ac.uk. 4) The BIOSCI user address and research interest directory. ----------------------------------------------------------- Please take this opportunity to add your name, address, and research interest information to the BIOSCI User Address Database if you have not already done so. You can fill out the address form directly through our Web page at URL http://www.bio.net/adrform.html. The address database is reindexed nightly for WWW access (the URL is http://www.bio.net/). If you are not directly on the Internet but can reach it by e-mail, please use our waismail server to access the user directory. waismail use is described above. You can also request a user address form by e-mail from biosci-help@net.bio.net. Please check your database entry from time-to-time to see if your address information is still up-to-date. Because of our limited personnel resources, we ask that you resubmit a *complete* form to revise your entry; we only replace complete entries and do not have resources to edit old forms.

The projects focus on the human thrombin receptor. The thrombin receptor is activated by thrombin cleavage of the receptor exodomain and exposure of an N-terminal tethered ligand that binds to the body of the receptor. Receptor activation precipitates complex signaling events culminating in platelet aggregation, wound healing, and cellular proliferation. Since chronic activation of the receptor may lead to coronary artery disease, stroke, and other vascular diseases, preventing thrombin receptor activation is of pharmacologic interest. 1) Macromolecular Structural Studies of the Resting and Activated States of Thrombin Receptor Extracellular Domains. NMR structural studies of the thrombin receptor exodomain in activated and resting forms are currently in progress and a preliminary structure has been generated for the activated exodomain. Future projects include solving the structure of the exodomain complexed with extracellular loops. Insight into the molecular interactions between the exodomain and the body of the receptor should provide leads for the development of novel anti-thrombin receptor agents in collaboration with a pharmaceutical company. The NMR facility is located in the Medical School Biochemistry Department and current instrumentation include a new Bruker 600 MHz and updated 500 MHz magnets along with several SGI workstations. Our lab has close collaborations with NMR spectroscopists who provide additional technical expertise. 2) Thrombin-Cell Surface Protein Interactions; Development of Cell Surface-Specific Anti-Thrombotic Agents. During coagulation, the physiologic concentration of thrombin exceeds that of its thrombin receptor substrate. Therefore, thrombin has a difficult task of discriminating among the various cell surface proteins to find the receptor and cleave it in the millisecond time range. We are interested in exploring this unusual mechanism of substrate-assisted domain cleavage by thrombin and using this information to develop a novel class of cell surface anti-thrombin agents. The laboratory is located within the Molecular Cardiology Research Institute, a modern, state-of-the-art facility with a staff of 40 investigators including technical support. Qualifications for this position are a Ph.D. degree. Candidates with training in NMR who would like to acquire expertise in molecular biology are encouraged to apply.

When he died in 1984, his college, St John's College in Cambridge, endowed an annual lecture to be held in Cambridge in his memory. The first of these lectures was given by Richard Feynman. Dirac was perhaps most famous for his prediction of antimatter, and in his lecture Feynman discusses the physical reality underlying Dirac's prediction.

I have one sitting here in front of me now, and as I disassemble it, I tell you which piece I'm removing, and where it came from, and instruct you to take a lego block at your end and reconstruct it there. That's how the transporters on Star Trek work, only they use radio or "subspace" waves instead of a telophone, and a computer instead of spoken instructions. Oh, yeah, there's also gotta be a way of the computer reaching down to the planet and organizing the molecules on the other end from a distance. But with specially focussed light beams (called "optical tweezers", and no, I'm not joking. People really use these kinds of things in some biology experiments), that should be no problem. We just haven't figured out how to get all the parts to work seamlessly together yet, or how the human body is actually put together.
