A sense-abl response?

Article Abstract:

DNA damage inflicted by radiation can be detected by DNA-damage-sensing equipment, triggering effector pathways leading to repair, growth arrest or cell death. The nature of DNA-damage response in man has been much studied, and a direct interaction between two proteins involved in cellular response to the damage has been found. Several aspects of an ataxia telangiectasia (AT) phenotype indicate a fault in cellular responses to DNA damage, through the cloning of the ATM gene. The potential of the ATM kinase domain to activate c-Abl has been dissected, giving clues as to how the damage-sensing c-Abl apparatus interacts with other proteins.

The start of something big?

Article Abstract:

Earthquakes around the Pacific Rim are extensively studied to determine whether the magnitude of an earthquake depends on the predominant period of its onset. The ratio of the ground displacement to the velocity of the displacement is used to calculate the predominant period and it is found that the relationship between the first four seconds of an earthquake and its final magnitude implies that there is an initial sub-seismic nucleation phase proportional to the size of the earthquake.

Start making sense

Article Abstract:

As science has developed, so has scientific language so that now one scientist might not be understood by another working in a different area. Scientists need to write more simply so that they can be understood.
