The Gut: Science Online Special Collection

The Gut: Science Online Special Collection: "In this special collection, published with the 25 March 2005 issue, Science Magazine and its online Knowledge Environments focus on one of the body's most remarkable systems: The 10-meter-long tube of the gut, the mechanisms and activities of which are still largely mysterious. In Science, News, Viewpoint, and Review articles cover a range of topics in gut development, immunology, and disease, as well as the incredibly diverse gut flora and the gut-brain connection, a key in the obesity wars. Science's Signal Transduction Knowledge Environment presents four Perspective articles on various aspects of signaling both from the nervous system to the gut and within the gut epithelium. And the Science of Aging Knowledge Environment looks at how age-related neurodegenerative diseases affect the gut.

For registered individual users and AAAS members, we've prepared a suite of online extras, including a special interactive version of the poster featured in the print version, with additional images, multimedia, and links. (Not yet registered? Do so for free here.)"
