Superstars of the U.K., 1990-99
 Salvador Moncada, celebrated for his work on nitric oxide, takes the top spot in a new Science Watch® compilation of the most-cited U.K. researchers of the 1990s.
Moncada, in fact, tallied nearly twice as many citations as the next most-cited author in the
survey. To identify the citation superstars in U.K. science over the last decade,
Science Watch examined a special subset of the ISI® database: researchers with U.K. affiliations whose papers...

Bates of King's College on Huntington's Disease
Science is known to be a
collaborative endeavor, but few collaborations have ever been so
spectacularly successful as the search for the Huntington’s
disease (HD) gene, which took ten years, involved fifty
researchers from six laboratories, and finally paid off in 1993.
Progress since then on understanding the havoc wreaked by the
progressive and often fatal neurodegenerative disorder has been
almost exponential. Since the identification of the HD gene,
researchers have created mouse models of the disease, unraveled
the degenerative mechanisms behind the disorder, and are now in
the process of screening possible pharmaceutical compounds.
While Huntington’s research
has remained extraordinarily collaborative, one researcher who has helped
move the field dramatically forward is Gillian P. Bates of the GKT School
of Medicine...
