Article Abstract:
Neurotrophins are a small family of dimeric secretory proteins in vertebrate neurons with a broad spectrum of functions. Studies have revealed an intriguing pattern that is neurotrophins can elicit opposing signals utilizing their variable configuration and different receptor types.

The epigenetic basis for embryonic stem cell pluripotency
Article Abstract:
The different types of model that can explain pluripotency at the level of gene are examined. A novel epigenetic model is proposed to explain how genes are primed in embryonic stem cells to express at later stages of development.
