Many of the thousands of small and medium-size companies that once gave the Italian economy its flexibility and dynamism are poorly equipped to deal with the challenges of a fast-changing world...

According to Xie, these results may ultimately help to explain how the same genes can produce different phenotypes, a problem that has baffled biologists. Associate Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Biology and Physics Xiaowei Zhuang, who does research in the same area, said she was excited about the new possibilities opened by Xie’s research. “Watching...
