The opportunities and threats of the 1990s and for the foreseeable future are related to competition and deregulation. The challenge for utilities will be to produce electric power as cheaply as possible while still complying with environmental regulations. 

This historical relationship between electric utilities and their regulators is undergoing a dramatic change. Policymakers are restructuring and deregulating portions of the electric industry. Restructuring of the electric industi"y is consistent with the deregulation of other U.S. industries since... 

The most obvious alternative approach is to deregulate the aroF gene, which is subject to tyrosine regulation. This, of course, could be achieved by DNA-recombinant techniques or by mutation.

Jansson applies the model to the current Spanish regulation and analyses the effect of the different liberalization measures. In the first case, new pharmacies would open and consumers would benefit, but we can say nothing from a social point of view. In the second case, the evolution of the liberalized prices would depend on the regulation regarding the number of pharmacies. Finally, she studies the effects of total deregulation. She defines the optimal regulation as one whereby a price is fixed and entry is liberalized for that price. 

Failure to properly regulate apoptosis can have catastrophic consequences. Cancer and many diseases (AIDS, Alzheimer s disease, Parkinson s disease, heart attack, stroke, etc.) are thought to arise from deregulation of apoptosis. As apoptosis emerges as a key biological regulatory mechanism, it has become harder and harder to keep up with new developments in this field. 

Apoptosis. Apoptosis— programmed cell death—involves elimination of damaged cells and maintenance of cell homeostasis. Homeostasis can be defined as the ability of living cells to regulate themselves in a dynamic manner. When apoptosis is deregulated, diseases such as cancers, immune... 

Since the discovery of the first histone demethylase in 2004, a number of demethy-lases have been identified and implicated in the control of gene expression programs and cell fate decisions. The cellular functions of histone demethylases are only beginning to be deciphered, but many of these enzymes have nevertheless been found to play biologically important roles. Histone demethylases are linked to the regulation of for example stem cell self-renewal, differentiation, proliferation and hormone-dependent responses. These processes are critical for development and cellular homeostasis and their deregulation is implicated in pathological disorders.
