Editor’s summary
The retraction of 5 protein crystal structures has held back an entire sub-field for years due to the inordinately persuasive power of the pretty pictures that structural biology produces. All too often the first report is sketchy, superficial in its analysis, and prone to error. The second report is often more thoughtful, more useful, and is essential to the scientific process of validation and self-correction.

Editor’s summary
It is human nature to inflate one's ideas and contributions. It is also human nature to hang onto one's ideas long after they have outlived their usefulness, in much the same way that a parent will still support a child who has grown up to be a menace to society. Both traits are at work whenever a scientist makes sweeping statements.

Editor’s summary
ClC-type chloride-conducting ion channels are integral components of physiological processes throughout the biological world. These channels are fundamentally different in molecular architecture and mechanism from the better-known cation-conducting channels, as well as from other anion-conducting channels: as such they comprise a single protein family.

As governments in the US and Europe contemplate legislation that would divert funding of some genomics-driven research to Offices of Homeland Security and the like, and that would restrict the freedom of biologists to publish and share some of their data, we of the scientific community are facing a crisis, brought on by fears of bioterrorism, that eerily mirrors the early days of recombinant DNA research.

Tetrandrine and thapsigargin release arachidonic acid from cells in culture and stimulate prostacyclin production in rat liver cells, but may do so by different pathways

Editor’s summary
Tetrandine and thapsigargin, two drugs that affect potassium and calcium channels, also both show some potential in cancer chemoprevention - but experiments in human and rat cells in culture suggest that although both stimulate arachidonic acid release they may operate by different pathways.
