The µ Opiate Receptor as a Candidate Gene for Pain: Polymorphisms, Variations in Expression, Nociception, and Opiate Responses. (... based on studies of mice, the researchers conclude that there is a genetic basis that underlies individual human responses to pain and the way that individuals respond to opium-based drugs used to combat pain; genes)

Proceedings of The National Academy of Sciences Volume 96, Number 14 (July 6, 1999): 7752-7755.

Peter R. Beetham, Peter B. Kipp, Xenia L. Sawycky, Charles J. Arntzen, and Gregory D. May

A Tool for Functional Plant Genomics: Chimeric RNA/DNA Oligonucleotides Cause In Vivo Gene-Specific Mutations. (... using a method called "chimeraplasty" on tobacco plants, these researchers were able to genetically change the plants without using genes from foreign plants or animals; the technique produces a chimeraplast which finds its way to and attaches itself to the targeted host gene and then serves as a template from which the gene can read off and then make the desired genetic changes--taken partially from a news release on the Yahoo News! Science Web pages [http://dailynews.yahoo.com/tx/sc/])

Proceedings of The National Academy of Sciences Volume 96, Number 15 (July 20, 1999): 8774-8778.

Sustained Ex Vivo Expansion of Hematopoietic Stem Cells Mediated by Thrombopoietin. (... using bone marrow cultures from mice, this study demonstrates that hematopoietic stem cells [HSC] can self-replicate outside of the body; TPO)

Proceedings of The National Academy of Sciences Volume 96, Number 14 (July 6, 1999): 8126-8131.

Lisa M. Schwartz, Steven Woloshin, and H. Gilbert Welch

Misunderstandings about the Effects of Race and Sex on Physicians' Referrals for Cardiac Catheterization. (... an analysis of how the results of a recent study were presented in the published article and represented by the authors and other commentators and how those results were subsequently reported by the media; the results of the study were not presented accurately)

The New England Journal of Medicine Volume 341, Number 4 (July 22, 1999): 279-283.
