Biologists have long known that organisms from bacteria to humans use the 24 hour cycle of light and darkness to set their biological clocks. But exactly how these clocks are synchronized at the molecular level to perform the interactions within a population of cells that depend on the precise timing…

…of Cell and Developmental Biology have “got mail”—of the cellular sort. They know that cells have elaborate “addressing” functions that “send” proteins to the correct compartment, but they are now learning how cells “’write” the addresses and then “read” them. This is important because cellular function depends on each molecule…
