McArdle's & Hers' diseases: glycogen phosphorylase transcriptional expression in human tissues.

abstract：:A slide taped to a window at the Woods Hole Marine Biology Laboratory was my first introduction to the touch receptor neurons of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. Studying these cells as a postdoc with Sydney Brenner gave me a chance to work with John Sulston on a fascinating set of neurons. I would never have gues...
