Majorana fermions inch closer to reality
The search for Majorana fermions is quickly becoming an obsession in the condensed-matter community. To understand the intense interest, I will begin with a practical definition: a Majorana fermion is a fermion that is its own antiparticle. While sophisticated particle physics experiments are testing for Majorana character in neutrinos propagating in three dimensions [1], solid state physicists...
متن کاملSomatic gene therapy to treat heart failure is one step closer to reality.
Despite recent advances in heart failure therapy, patients with end-stage cardiac failure have a poor prognosis and die within 5 years. Diagnosis of the hereditary form of heart failure is becoming increasingly prevalent due to the identification of causative mutations in many structural genes encoding contractile and cytoskeletal proteins. The majority of muscular dystrophies including Duchenn...
متن کاملBrain-machine interface: closer to therapeutic reality?
Various neurological diseases and traumatic injuries permanently abolish sensorimotor functions, dramatically aff ecting the quality of life of millions of individuals. Progress continues in the development of neural repair interventions to enhance functional recovery after neuromotor disorders in animals. So far, no interventions have shown effi cacy in the restoration of useful sensorimotor f...
متن کاملBiomaterials to prevascularize engineered tissues.
Tissue engineering promises to restore tissue and organ function following injury or failure by creating functional and transplantable artificial tissues. The development of artificial tissues with dimensions that exceed the diffusion limit (1-2 mm) will require nutrients and oxygen to be delivered via perfusion (or convection) rather than diffusion alone. One strategy of perfusion is to prevas...
متن کاملMaking One Health a Reality--Crossing Bureaucratic Boundaries.
A One Health approach requires that nontraditional partners with differing mandates collaborate and communicate effectively. Barriers to such redefined relationships range from personality and institutional cultural and value differences to impediments that require changes in agency-specific policies. This article reviews interagency One Health collaborations, nationally and internationally. It...
