Feeder-Free Stem Cells With CCL2
Stem cells are now one step closer to the clinic, thanks to the development of feeder-free culture methods using the chemokine CCL2.
RIKEN’s K Computer Tops 2014 Supercomputer Rankings
The K computer at RIKEN has come out tops in the 2014 Graph 500 supercomputer ranking, beating Sequoia and Mira from the United States.
Dense Stars Deformed By Extreme Magnetic Forces
Scientists have found that dense stars known as magnetars are deformed by their extremely high magnetic fields, resulting in a wobbly orbit.
The Geometry Of Genetic Coding
The specificity of the tRNA synthetase enzyme, and consequently protein translation, is due to geometric features determined by a single base pair known as the wobble base pair.
Teasing Out Purkinje Proteins
Scientists have developed a method of extracting Purkinje cells from the brain, identifying potential Purkinje-specific protein markers in the process.
Zeroing In On The Proton’s Magnetic Moment
Scientists can now directly measure the magnetic moment of a single proton with high precision, which may enable them to answer why matter exists.
Oops! The Brain Signature Of A Mistake
Using transgenic mice, scientists have captured gamma oscillations in the brain that fire when a mistake is first realized.
Two Mouse Models To Study Alzheimer’s Disease
Research in Alzheimer's disease could be accelerated with the use two new mice models that realistically model the disease in humans.
Brain Scans To Detect Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
A study shows that PET scans could potentially be used to diagnose chronic fatigue syndrome.
