Choreographing the bacterial cell cycle
Article Abstract:
Researchers have identified a gene called ctrA that regulates the development of flagellum in the bacterium Caulobacter crescentus and controls other life-cycle events. This is the first documentation of a mechanism for directly regulating global cell cycle events.

Protein builds second skeleton
Article Abstract:
Researchers have discovered that fibrodysplasia ossificans progressia is the result of a genetic defect that causes the patient's lymphocytes to produce morphogenic protein-4 (BMP-4). BMP-4 gradually converts connective tissue to bone, immobilizing the patient.
