New Insight into the Relation between Adiponectin and Diabetes

Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases. Insulin resistance is defined as a state that needs more insulin to get the biological effects achieved by a lower amount of insulin in the normal state. Several molecules which are secreted through adipocytes have been involved in insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Adiponectin as a 244 amino acid protein is exclusively expressed...

Merging the senses into a robust percept.

To perceive the external environment our brain uses multiple sources of sensory information derived from several different modalities, including vision, touch and audition. All these different sources of information have to be efficiently merged to form a coherent and robust percept. Here we highlight some of the mechanisms that underlie this merging of the senses in the brain. We show that, de...

New insight into superconductivity

NOVEMBER 2008 | VOLUME 11 | NUMBER 11 13 The physics of high-temperature cuprate superconductors in the overdoped regime, where superconductivity is suppressed, is something of a mystery. But first-principle calculations by researchers in the US and Switzerland appear to confirm a recent suggestion that ferromagnetism can destroy superconductivity at high doping levels [B. Barbiellini and T. Ja...
