This was my patient. I sat with her, held her hand, coaxed her to share pieces of her life story from underneath the covers. I could not stop the voices in her head. The ones that told her to hit herself, to cut herself with a bottle cap, to swallow half of a styrofoam cup picked off piece by piece. I could not stop the security guard holding her down. I could not stop the nurse storming out of room huffing, “I don’t have time for this,” returning with a needle full of haloperidol. And I tried.

My best friend Esther is one of the most special people I have ever met. She is kind, creative, bright, stubborn and extremely witty. She’s also 86.

AbstractT cell development proceeds via discrete stages that require both gene induction and gene repression. Transcription factors direct gene repression by associating with corepressor complexes containing chromatin-remodeling enzymes; the corepressors NCOR1 and NCOR2 recruit histone deacetylases to these complexes to silence transcription of target genes. Earlier work identified the importance of NCOR1 in promoting the survival of positively-selected thymocytes.
