TL;DR: The goal of this article is to articulate the 4 central challenges facing clinical research at present--public participation, information systems, workforce training, and funding; to make recommendations about how they might be addressed by particular stakeholders; and to invite a broader, participatory dialogue with a view to improving the overall performance of the US clinical research enterprise.

EBNA-2 transactivates a lymphoid-specific enhancer in the BamHI C promoter of Epstein-Barr virus.
TL;DR: Results demonstrate that BamHI-C promoter activity may be dependent not on an enhancer contained in the ori-P, as was previously assumed, but rather on EBNA-2 transactivation of this more proximal enhancer located in the upstream region of the BamHI C promoter itself.

TL;DR: Analysis of the DNA sequence variation within the LMP‐1 gene reveals a consensus sequence for a strain, denoted China1, which predominates in East Asia where NPC is endemic, and Phylogenetic relationships between these 2 strains were determined.

TL;DR: Significant cultural changes are urgently needed if the burgeoning scientific opportunities in biology are to be tackled by a well-prepared cadre of young scientists from all disciplines Interdisciplinary cooperation must encompass the individual investigator, academic department, research institution, and federal funding agencies This [Policy Forum] describes principles and recommendations that have emerged from an ongoing experiment in interdisciplinary training that since 1996 has included three cycles of grant awards to ten institutions, involving several hundred trainees and their mentors as discussed by the authors.

Reciprocal regulation of the Epstein-Barr virus BamHI-F promoter by EBNA-1 and an E2F transcription factor.
TL;DR: Findings identify a potentially new binding site for members of the E2F family of transcription factors and suggest that such a factor is important for expression of EBNA-1 in lymphoid and epithelial cells by displacing EB NA-1 from the Q locus.
