01 Jan 2001TL;DR: The main goal of the STS curriculum is to provide scientific and technological literacy for students so they can act as citizens and participate on decision making on the perspective of social responsibility.
Abstract: The main goal of the STS curriculum is to provide scientific and technological literacy for students so they can act as citizens and participate on decision making on the perspective of social responsibility. This paper discusses this educational goal and provides a review of the literature about its implications for science education. It also reflects on the National High School Curriculum related to the same objectives.

TL;DR: Data indicate that, similar to Leishmania, T. cruzi lacks one or more components necessary for the RNAi pathway and that these components will need to be engineered into T.cruzi, or compensated for, before RNAi can be used to study gene function in this organism.

TL;DR: The roles of nuclear sirtuins in inflammatory reactions: SIRT1 has been shown to suppress NF-κb activity, the master regulator of cellular inflammatory response, decrease COX-2 and iNOS production, and increase antioxidant gene expression that suppressed inflammation.

TL;DR: Genomic, linguistic, archaeological, and paleoecological data suggest that the southwestern Amazon was a secondary improvement center for partially domesticated maize, responsible for the diversity and biogeography of modern South American maize.
Abstract: Domesticated maize evolved from wild teosinte under human influences in Mexico beginning around 9000 years before the present (yr B.P.), traversed Central America by ~7500 yr B.P., and spread into South America by ~6500 yr B.P. Landrace and archaeological maize genomes from South America suggest that the ancestral population to South American maize was brought out of the domestication center in Mexico and became isolated from the wild teosinte gene pool before traits of domesticated maize were fixed. Deeply structured lineages then evolved within South America out of this partially domesticated progenitor population. Genomic, linguistic, archaeological, and paleoecological data suggest that the southwestern Amazon was a secondary improvement center for partially domesticated maize. Multiple waves of human-mediated dispersal are responsible for the diversity and biogeography of modern South American maize.
