Linus Pauling began his professional life studying atoms, and ended it best known for his thoughts on medicine. Linking these two fields was a central body of work on the nature of human blood. During the most productive thirty years of his life, between the mid-1930s and mid-1960s, Pauling's research in this area not only advanced our understanding of how the blood works at the molecular level, but branched and blossomed into vital discoveries about immunology, sickle-cell anemia, genetics, evolution, and human health. Incorporating more than 300 scanned documents, photographs, audio clips and video excerpts, this web resource includes images of a number of very important and extremely rare items, most of which are held within The Valley Library's Ava Helen and Linus Pauling Papers, many of which have not been previously displayed. The site is designed to serve as both an introduction to an important body of work and as a reference tool for students, teachers, physicians, scientists, and members of the general public interested in the history of modern medicine. ...

GoPubMed retrieves PubMed abstracts for your search query, detects Gene Ontology (GO) terms in the abstracts, displays a subset of the GO relevant to the keywords, and allows you to browse the ontology and display only papers containing specific GO terms. After performing a search, the resulting abstracts are annotated with your query keywords and GO terms. The abstracts are grouped using the GO terms, which appear in the text. Now you can use the GO hierarchy to systematically explore your search results. ... [Information of the supplier]
Developed as part of the BioText project at the University of California, Berkeley, the BioText Search Engine is a freely available Web-based application that provides biologists with new ways to access the scientific literature. The interface has been carefully designed according to usability principles and techniques. Three views allow different types of browsing: (A) Abstracts (List View): Allows users to search over titles, abstracts and authors. Returns a list of abstracts showing the figures associated with each article. (B) Captions (List View): Allows users to search over captions. Returns a list of captions and their figures. (C) Captions (Grid View): Allows users to search over captions. Returns figures and truncated captions in a grid arrangement. The system uses Lucene for the underlying indexing, and users can use all the Lucene operators in their search queries. The search engine is a work in progress and more functionality will be added over time. The system indexes all open access articles available at PubMed Central. New articles are indexed daily. The current collection consists of more than 150 journals, 20,000 articles, and 80,000 figures. ... [Information of the supplier]
The field of immunometabolism has thrived over the last decade, revealing not only the major roles played by immune cells in metabolic homeostasis but also the impact of metabolic pathways on immune cell function. As new discoveries continue to reveal the intricate links between immunology and metabolism, a key question arises: will our accumulated knowledge on immunometabolic deregulations translate into novel therapies for human diseases? During this Cell Symposium, you will hear about the latest advances in immunometabolism from physician-scientists, basic researchers and industry leaders. We will discuss how local and systemic metabolism are integrated at the cellular level to regulate immune cell function and we will focus on how novel insights into immunometabolism can be harnessed to advance and/or bolster therapeutic interventions in metabolic diseases, inflammation, autoimmunity, and cancer. ...
