Cutting Edge: Two Distinct Mechanisms

Cutting edge approaches to drug design

Going for gold To demonstrate the viability of this approach to manufacturing electrical circuitry, Kiehl’s team is investigating an assembly of gold nanoparticles into linear arrays on the DNA scaffolding. In their approach, a set of short DNA strands with different sequences are formed into DNA tiles that self-assemble into a DNA crystal.The particles are assembled onto the DNA scaffolding by...

ICA of fMRI Studies: New Approaches and Cutting Edge Applications

on resting-state connectivity and Balsters et al. (2013) assess the correlation between BOLD spectral power and working memory performance. The ICA applications featured in this Research Topic range from clinical resting-state studies with patients suffering from schizophrenia (Manoliu et al., 2013; Sui et al., 2013) and neurological patients performing chin and hand motor tasks (Robinson et al...
