Dysfunction of nuclear-cytoplasmic transport systems has been
associated with many human diseases. Thus, understanding of how
functional this transport system maintains, or through dysfunction
fails to maintain remains the core question in cell biology. In
eukaryotic cells, the nuclear envelope (NE) separates the genetic
transcription in the nucleus from the translational machinery in
the cytoplasm. Thousands of nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) embedded
on the NE selectively mediate the bidirectional trafficking of
macromolecules such as RNAs and proteins between these two cellular
compartments. In this book, the authors integrate recent progress
on the structure of NPC and the mechanism of nuclear-cytoplasmic
transport system in vitro and in vivo.

This book explores federal health care support programs that have
been instituted to treat children that are deaf and hard of hearing
and to improve children's dental services and oral health care, as
well as medical care programs for children with Down Syndrome and
their special health care concerns. The federal government supports
these children through the Early Hearing Detection and Intervention
(EHDI) program, which awards grants to states to develop systems to
screen and diagnose new-borns and infants for hearing loss. The
Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009
studies children's access to dental care; and the Prenatally and
Postnally Diagnosed Conditions Awareness Act focuses on the
effectiveness of current health care and family support programs
for the families of children with disabilities.
Electronic skins are critical for many applications in
human-machine-environment interactions. Tactile sensitivity over
large areas can be especially applied to prosthetics. Moreover, the
potential for wearables, interactive surfaces, and human robotics
have propelled research in this area. In this Element, we provide
an account and directional atlas of the progress in materials and
devices for electronic skins, in the context of sensing principles
and skin-like features. Additionally, we give an overview of
essential electronic circuits and systems used in large-area
tactile sensor arrays. Finally, we present the challenges and
provide perspectives on future developments.
