TL;DR: It is shown that cell lines can be derived from the epiblast, a tissue of the post-implantation embryo that generates the embryo proper, and interrogated to understand how pluripotent cells generate distinct fates during early development.
Abstract: The application of human embryonic stem (ES) cells in medicine and biology has an inherent reliance on understanding the starting cell population. Human ES cells differ from mouse ES cells and the specific embryonic origin of both cell types is unclear. Previous work suggested that mouse ES cells could only be obtained from the embryo before implantation in the uterus. Here we show that cell lines can be derived from the epiblast, a tissue of the post-implantation embryo that generates the embryo proper. These cells, which we refer to as EpiSCs (post-implantation epiblast-derived stem cells), express transcription factors known to regulate pluripotency, maintain their genomic integrity, and robustly differentiate into the major somatic cell types as well as primordial germ cells. The EpiSC lines are distinct from mouse ES cells in their epigenetic state and the signals controlling their differentiation. Furthermore, EpiSC and human ES cells share patterns of gene expression and signalling responses that normally function in the epiblast. These results show that epiblast cells can be maintained as stable cell lines and interrogated to understand how pluripotent cells generate distinct fates during early development.

TL;DR: A 7-Å resolution map of the purple membrane has been obtained by electron microscopy of tilted, unstained specimens and shows that Lipid bilayer regions fill the spaces between the protein molecules.
Abstract: A 7-A resolution map of the purple membrane has been obtained by electron microscopy of tilted, unstained specimens. The protein in the membrane contains seven, closely packed, alpha-helical segments which extend roughly perpendicular to the plane of the membrane for most of its width. Lipid bilayer regions fill the spaces between the protein molecules.

TL;DR: It is considered that originally only a few amino acids were coded, but that most of the possible codons were fairly soon brought into use and the code became frozen in its present form.

TL;DR: It is proposed that ILCs should be categorized into three groups based on the cytokines that they can produce and the transcription factors that regulate their development and function.
Abstract: Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are a family of developmentally related cells that are involved in immunity and in tissue development and remodelling. Recent research has identified several distinct members of this family. Confusingly, many different names have been used to characterize these newly identified ILC subsets. Here, we propose that ILCs should be categorized into three groups based on the cytokines that they can produce and the transcription factors that regulate their development and function.
