It is remarkable how several thousand individual particles independently find their ideal position in a precise and highly symmetrical structure in which all particles are placed in predictable positions, explains Prof. Vogel.","While the dominant occurrence of atomic clusters with magic numbers in mass spectra 4 suggests self-adjustment in their sizes during formation by addition or removal of atoms to reach magic numbers under appropriate circumstances, the number of particles in a colloidal cluster remains fixed in confinement, which allows experiments to explore clusters of arbitrary sizes. This raises the fundamental question of whether some colloidal cluster sizes are thermodynamically preferred over others. Here, we demonstrate that the magic number phenomenon known from atomic clusters extends to the colloidal realm.","[3.0, 4.0, 3.0, 2.0]",Biology,train,3.0,news,http://ct.moreover.com/?a=37972889807&p=1pl&v=1&x=iBPyFenSwEvA772o5rw2Og +10.1016/j.cell.2014.03.060,Biology_584,Humans are also capable of cellular regeneration to a much less impressive extent.,YAP phosphorylation by LATS1/2 results in its cytoplasmic localization and proteolytic degradation .,"This study is not the first time scientists have observed mature cells well past the believed regeneration period give rise to new cells.

Experts Are Divided On Frisch's Study + +Not all experts are convinced with Frisch's study that suggests circumcision could increase autism risk. ""The problem with Frisch's fundamental premise is that circumcision causes pain in infants and boys,"" Morris pointed out.","5 The procedural pain associated with neonatal circumcision is plausibly more severe and the postoperative pain of longer duration than in older children and adults, because the foreskin of most neonates must be forcefully separated from the glans to which it is fused before it can be cut off.
