Multiscale prediction of patient-specific platelet function under flow
Blood Journal Share
During thrombotic or hemostatic episodes, platelets bind collagen and release ADP and thromboxane A2, recruiting additional platelets to a growing deposit that distorts the flow field. Prediction of clotting function under hemodynamic conditions for an individual's platelet phenotype remains a challenge.

How big data transformed the dairy industry
The Atlantic Share
While there are more than 8 million Holstein dairy cows in the United States, there is exactly one bull that has been scientifically calculated to be the very best in the land. He goes by the name of Badger-Bluff Fanny Freddie. Already, Badger-Bluff Fanny Freddie has 346 daughters who are on the books and thousands more that will be added to his progeny count when they start producing milk.

Research team gives drug dropouts a second chance
PhysOrg Share
A cross-disciplinary team of researchers at the University of Maryland has designed a molecular container that can hold drug molecules and increase their solubility, in one case up to nearly 3,000 times. Their discovery opens the possibility of rehabilitating drug candidates that were insufficiently soluble.

Using magnetic bacteria to construct the biocomputer of the future
Popular Science Share
As computer components grow smaller and smaller, it becomes more and more difficult to manufacture them by conventional means, meaning the nano-hard-drives of the future are going to come at a cost. So researchers from the University of Leeds in the U.K. and Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology are enlisting the help of magnetic bacteria.

Carbon nanotubes light up silicon
Chemical & Engineering News Share
To reach super-fast processing speeds, future computers may run calculations using light instead of electrons. But, currently, materials scientists haven't found the right materials to move, store and change light into useful wavelengths for computer applications. Now French researchers have demonstrated that a mix of silicon and carbon nanotubes might meet those needs.

Differentiation of vascular smooth muscle cells from local precursors during embryonic and adult arteriogenesis requires Notch signaling
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences Share
Vascular smooth muscle cells have been suggested to arise from various developmental sources during embryogenesis, depending on the vascular bed. However, evidence also points to a common subpopulation of vascular progenitor cells predisposed to VSMC fate in the embryo.

Mollusk shell nacre ultrastructure correlates with environmental temperature and pressure
Journal of the American Chemical Society Share
Nacre, or mother-of-pearl, the tough, iridescent biomineral lining the inner side of some mollusk shells, has alternating biogenic aragonite (calcium carbonate, CaCO3) tablet layers and organic sheets. Nacre has been common in the shells of mollusks since the Ordovician (450 million years ago) and is abundant and well-preserved in the fossil record, e.g., in ammonites.

Signaling-mediated bacterial persister formation
Nature Chemical Biology Share
Here we show that bacterial communication through indole signaling induces persistence, a phenomenon in which a subset of an isogenic bacterial population tolerates antibiotic treatment. We monitor indole-induced persister formation using microfluidics and identify the role of oxidative-stress and phage-shock pathways in this phenomenon.

New technique uses electrons to map nanoparticle atomic structures
Lab Manager Share
With dimensions measuring billionths of a meter, nanoparticles are way too small to see with the naked eye. Yet it is becoming possible for today's scientists not only to see them, but also to look inside at how the atoms are arranged in three dimensions using a technique called nanocrystallography.

Turning 'bad' fat into good: A new candidate pathway for treating visceral obesity
Science Daily Share
Brown seems to be the color of choice when it comes to the types of fat cells in our bodies. Brown fat expends energy, while its counterpart, white fat stores it. The danger in white fat cells, along with the increased risk for diabetes and heart disease it poses, seems especially linked to visceral fat.
