Comparison of an anapole field with common electric and magnetic dipoles. The anapole field, top, is generated by a toroidal electrical current. As a result, the field is confined within the torus, instead of spreading out like the fields generated by conventional electric and magnetic dipoles. (Michael Smeltzer / Vanderbilt)

This shows two microstructures made with the new material, containing the highest concentration of RDGE. Left: Pre-charring. These pyramid and bunny models did not respond to the preferred method of 3-D shaping, so they were created using an alternative process. Right: Post-charring. Notice that the pyramid and bunny shrink significantly less than those made from the material with a lower concentration of RDGE. Credit: Optical Materials Express

Roles of Neuregulin 1 in neural development. NRG1 is released from neurons to promote the formation and maintenance of radial glial cells. Tangential migration of γ-aminobutyric acid-ergic interneurons requires NRG1 in the cortical region. Myelination and ensheathment of peripheral nerves are controlled by the amounts of NRG1 produced in substrate axons. NRG1 from axons might regulate oligodendrocyte development and myelination of axons in the CNS. NRG1 is also necessary for the formation of neuromuscular junctions – NMJs. NRG1 stimulates CNS synapse formation (Lin Mei & Wen-Cheng Xiong, 2008)
