Submarine crater made by smaller impact Most Important Actors In Growth Process Of Neurons Identified
Defects in the growth process of our neurons often underlie brain or nerve diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease or multiple sclerosis. Scientists from the Flanders Interuniversity Institute for Biotechnology (VIB) connected to the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, led by Bassem Hassan, have achieved a major step in unraveling the growth process of axons, the offshoots of neurons. Trio Of Leukemias Share A Single Mutation
Three leukemias that affect as many as 100,000 people in the United States are all caused by acquired mutations that alter a specific enzyme controlling blood cell proliferation, according to new studies by Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) researchers. Early Day Care Attendance May Protect Infants From Asthma Later

Rice Unveils 'Green' Microcapsule Production Method
Chemical engineers from Rice University have unveiled the most environmentally sensitive approach yet devised for making tiny hollow spheres called microcapsules. Dozens of companies are developing microcapsules - usually smaller than living cells - to deliver everything from drugs and imaging agents to perfumes and flavor enhancers. In this month's Advanced Materials, Rice's team describes a mix-and-shake procedure that produces microcapsules almost instantly at room temperature, under normal pressure, in water, and at mild pH values.
