Mystery Solved: IL-15

Mystery solved

Mutant mice lacking the integrin alpha8 subunit exhibit variable defects in kidney development with most mutants missing both kidneys. Several lines of evidence indicate that the known extracellular matrix ligands for integrin alpha8beta1 are either dispensable for or not involved in alpha8beta1 signaling during kidney development. This suggests the presence of an unknown ligand. A novel alpha8...

The magic angle: a solved mystery.

We resolve the long-standing mysterious discrepancy between the experimental magic angle in EELS--approximately 2theta(E)--and the quantum mechanical prediction of approximately 4theta(E). A relativistic approach surpassing the usually applied kinematic correction yields a magic angle close to the experimental value. The reason is that the relativistic correction of the inelastic scattering cro...
