The International Journal for Equity in Health is launching a special issue on Multimorbidity and Equity in Health. Papers on patterns and trends of multimorbidity inequity, variations in multimorbidity burden by social characteristics, and on the impact of multimoribity inequity on health care resource use and outcomes will be considered for the issue.
A special 20% discount will be granted to papers accepted to this special issue. Please indicate in the cover letter that the paper is for consideration in the Multimorbidity and Equity in Health special issue. |

 The functional complexity made possible by the proteins that direct traffic between the internal membranes of eukaryotic cells lies at the heart of metazoan evolution. Sean Munro and colleagues trace the Rab family of membrane traffic proteins to its evolutionary roots.

David Weinkove and colleagues report an accidental discovery in C. elegans that has led them to a series of studies implicating folate in excess of needs in limiting lifespan, with interesting hints from the effects of sulfonamide drugs that the same may apply to mammals.
