Researchers have now succeeded in creating a steady stream of photons emitted one at a time and in a particular direction.

Plug 'n' play protein crystals

Posted: 29 Aug 2014 05:39 AM PDT

Almost a hundred years ago in 1929 Linus Pauling presented the famous Pauling's Rules to describe the principles governing the structure of complex ionic crystals. These rules essentially describe how the arrangement of atoms in a crystal is critically dependent on the size of the atoms, their charge and type of bonding. According to scientists today, similar rules can be applied to prepare ionic colloidal crystals consisting of oppositely charged proteins and virus particles.

Now researchers have for the first time captured atoms in borosilicate glass flipping from one structure to another as it is placed under high pressure.

How the zebrafish gets its stripes: Uncovering how beautiful color patterns can develop in animals

Posted: 28 Aug 2014 11:27 AM PDT

The zebrafish, a small fresh water fish, owes its name to a striking pattern of blue stripes alternating with golden stripes. Three major pigment cell types, black cells, reflective silvery cells, and yellow cells emerge during growth in the skin of the tiny juvenile fish and arrange as a multi-layered mosaic to compose the characteristic color pattern. While it was known that all three cell types have to interact to form proper stripes, the embryonic origin of the pigment cells that develop the stripes of the adult fish has remained a mystery up to now. Scientists have now discovered how these cells arise and behave to form the 'zebra' pattern.

Prehistoric migrations: DNA study unravels the settlement history of the New World Arctic

Readers with dyslexia have disrupted network connections in the brain, map the circuitry of dyslexia shows

Posted: 28 Aug 2014 06:12 AM PDT

Dyslexia, the most commonly diagnosed learning disability in the United States, is a neurological reading disability that occurs when the regions of the brain that process written language don't function normally. The use of non-invasive functional neuroimaging tools has helped characterize how brain activity is disrupted in dyslexia. However, most prior work has focused on only a small number of brain regions, leaving a gap in our understanding of how multiple brain regions communicate with one another through networks, called functional connectivity, in persons with dyslexia. Scientists have now conducted a whole-brain functional connectivity analysis of dyslexia using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).

From nose to knee: Engineered cartilage regenerates joints

Posted: 28 Aug 2014 06:02 AM PDT

Human articular cartilage defects can be treated with nasal septum cells. Researchers now report that cells taken from the nasal septum are able to adapt to the environment of the knee joint and can thus repair articular cartilage defects. The nasal cartilage cells' ability to self-renew and adapt to the joint environment is associated with the expression of so-called HOX genes.
