Welcome to virosphere

Viruses may seem alien, but they are the most abundant and, arguably, the most important organisms on Earth. They are found just about everywhere, from oceans and forests to the people around you and, of course, in and on you as well. This world of strange, quasi-living things has been dubbed the virosphere, and it is a mysterious one – we know less about viruses than any other life form. But t...

Magnetic solutions to 211 gravity

Studying physics in spacetimes with dimensions less than four has often proved useful. While the study of such systems is of intrinsic interest, one usually has the hope that the properties of these lower-dimensional systems will mimic the properties of some corresponding four-dimensional system. Witten’s discovery @1# of a black hole solution in twodimensional string theory has sparked renewed...

Welcome to Biomatter

It is with great pleasure and honor that I introduce Biomatter, a new international and transdisciplinary journal for the publication of peer-reviewed original research exploring the clinical and laboratory investigations in the field of science and application of biomaterials. Recent developments in medicine have resulted in a considerable and unprecedented increase in lifespan. The invention ...

Welcome to interventional neurology.

Interventional neurology is a subspecialty of neurology in which minimally invasive procedures are performed under radiologic or ultrasonographic guidance. Some of these procedures are for diagnostic purposes, and others are for therapeutic purposes. Endovascular procedures are evolving as an important strategy for diagnosing and treating many neurological diseases, especially cerebrovascular d...
