PLoS Biol. 2005 Nov 15;3(12):e387 [Epub ahead of print] (HSR&T PI: G.A. Wray) Note: This paper was highlighted in the November 25 issue of Science (PubMed 16311304), where it was pointed out that this research provides some of the first evidence that changes in how genes are regulated, rather than in the proteins they code for, was important in human evolution.

Hypertension. 2005 Nov 21; [Epub ahead of print] Note: Reports STS-107 and parabolic flight results. This paper suggests that gravity is a constant stressor of the cardiovascular system and that this concept may provide a way to investigate how to alleviate gravitational stress in heart failure. The paper also suggests that it may be healthy for the cardiovascular system to fly in space.
