Fractal patterns can be found everywhere, from snowflakes to lightning bolts to the jagged edges of coastlines. Beautiful to behold, their repetitive nature can also inspire mathematical insights into the chaos of the physical landscape. A new example of these mathematical quirks has been discovered in a type of magnetic substance known as spin ice, …

Treatment of glutaric aciduria type I (GA-I) by intracerebroventricular administration of GCDH. Credit: Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China Glutaric aciduria type I (GA-I) is an inherited disease caused by a mutation in the glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase (GCDH) gene. The global incidence of GA-I is estimated at 1/100,000, with approximately 75,000 cases worldwide. Patients …
