Es una escena habitual en muchos documentales de naturaleza. Llega la temporada de apareamiento y los machos de cierta especie se enzarzan en batallas con gran despliegue de pomposidad. Escorpiones, ciervos y osos muestran sus armas, profieren amenazas, miden sus fuerzas.

Cells live busy, complicated lives: A vast array of molecules must be managed in an orderly way, while ever-changing conditions need to be closely monitored to prioritize resource allocation across different systems. It is unsurprising, thus, that many genes are pleiotropic; that is, their products influence multiple traits. Naturally, genes involved in sensing and regulatory functions are particularly pleiotropic.

Plant Symbiosis Signaling for fungal nutritionMadeleine SealeArbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and plant root cells, pictured here in a scanning electron microscopy image, exchange nutrients in a symbiotic relationship. PHOTO: EYE OF SCIENCE/SCIENCE SOURCEOpen in viewerMost vascular plants form symbioses in their roots with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. The fungi provide nutrients such as phosphate in return for lipids provided by the plant.

In an underground powerhouse, four reversible turbines (green cylinders) pump water to the top of Raccoon Mountain—and generate 1700 megawatts of electricity when it comes back down. PHOTO: TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITYOpen in viewerThe machines that turn Tennessee’s Raccoon Mountain into one of the world’s largest energy storage devices—in effect, a battery that can power a medium-size city—are hidden in a cathedral-size cavern deep inside the mountain.

The medical community does not broadcast the problem, but there are many studies that have reinforced a serious issue with diagnostic errors. A recent study concluded: “We estimate that nearly 800,000 Americans die or are permanently disabled by diagnostic errors each year.” Diagnostic errors are inaccurate assessments of a patient’s root cause of illness, such as missing a heart attack or infection or assigning the wrong diagnosis of pneumonia when the correct one is pulmonary embolism.
