    Circadian systems: different levels of complexity

    Nov 29, 2001 - After approximately 50 years of circadian research, especially in selected circadian model systems (Drosophila, Neurospora, Gonyaulax and, more recently, cyanobacteria and mammals), we appreciate the enormous complexity of the circadian programme in

    Biomaterials for the central nervous system

    May 13, 2008 - Biomaterials are widely used to help treat neurological disorders and/or improve functional recovery in the central nervous system (CNS). This article reviews the application of biomaterials in (i) shunting systems for hydrocephalus, (ii) cortical

    High-temperature deformation of two phase structures

    Feb 14, 1978 - Some of the ways in which two phase crystalline substances deform are reviewed. By the addition of a small amount of a finely dispersed second phase the resistance of a pure material to deformation can be spectacularly increased. The effect is quite

    Gene therapy: progress and predictions

    Dec 22, 2015 - The first clinical gene delivery, which involved insertion of a marker gene into lymphocytes from cancer patients, was published 25 years ago. In this review, we describe progress since then in gene therapy. Patients with some inherited single-gene
