1. RNA Interference
Our understanding of the role that RNA plays in cellular processes and in cancer has evolved rapidly this century. Messenger, transfer, and ribosomal RNA are still vitally important to the cell as a translation mechanism, but regulatory RNA<...

2. The Martin Rodbell Papers: Cells as "Programmable Messengers," 1981-1994
As a direct result of Martin Rodbell's discovery of the G-proteins, scientists have adopted signal transduction as the preeminent paradigm for cellular communication. "Since those discoveries more than 20 [years] ago," wrote Rodbell in 1991, "tran...
