S. Something New Under the Sun Thanks to satellites, we can now send data and images anywhere in the world in an instant. The satellite-based navigational system can pinpoint your exact location anywhere in the world; it is so precise that, from outer space, it can detect the sag on an airplane's wing.

Glutamate-mediated neurotransmission and excitotoxicity have been the defining and best-studied examples, but many other examples have also emerged. Second, delineation of the molecular under­ pinnings of programmed cell death, and an appreciation of their awesome power. It is an honor to be asked to write a foreword for this timely book, which assembles contributions from authorities working in the area of pathological nervous system cell death, and has been expertly edited by Vassilis Koliatsos and Rajiv Ratan.

.This has led to the current position where researchers may be able to directly modify the action of key proteins through gene therapy and antisense oligonucleotides. Apoptosis Genes It is of critical importance in development, homeostasis, and cell population control. Research over the last decade is now enabling scientists to comprehend how genes and the protein products interact to control apoptosis.

Consumers and producers share concern for the future of biotechnology: the realities and even the perceptions, informed or otherwise. The Office funded a group of authors to prepare a series of analytical papers on a range of consumer and informational issues related to biotechnology. This rapid development has led to heated debate over its risks and benefits.

Consumers and producers share concern for the future of biotechnology: the realities and even the perceptions, informed or otherwise. Advocates of biotechnology point to the potential benefits offered by products that promise to elimi­ nate disease, provide for more efficient diagnostic techniques, treatments and drugs, yield increased food production, and so forth. The project was designed to foster informed public policy on biotechnology and in particular, to contribute to and inform the Canadian government's development of a Canadian Biotechnology Strategy.
