Formation of Ionization-Cone Structures in Active Galactic Nuclei: I. Stationary Model and Linear Stability Analysis [PDF]
We discuss causes of the formation of the observed kinematics and morphology of cones of ionized matter in the neighborhood of the nuclei of Seyfert galaxies. The results of linear stability analysis of an optically thin conic jet where radiation cooling

The formation of glacier dirt cones
Glacier dirt cones are meter-scale cones of ice covered with sediment and rock. The cones develop through a process known as differential melt, whereby ice underlying thick debris melts more slowly than bare ice.

Gradient-reading and mechano-effector machinery for netrin-1-induced axon guidance
Growth cones navigate axonal projection in response to guidance cues. However, it is unclear how they can decide the migratory direction by transducing the local spatial cues into protrusive forces.

Self-Wiring of Neural Networks
In order to form the intricate network of synaptic connections in the brain, the growth cones migrate through the embryonic environment to their targets using chemical communication.

Moderate repulsive effects of E-unit-containing chondroitin sulfate (CSE) on behavior of retinal growth cones [PDF]
Chondroitin sulfate (CS), the carbohydrate chain of chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans, is involved in neuronal circuit formation during development. CS shows great structural diversity with combination of disaccharide units of different structure (A-, C-,

Phytohormones Regulate Both “Fish Scale” Galls and Cones on Picea koraiensis
The larch adelgid Adelges laricis laricis Vallot is a specialist insect parasite of Picea koraiensis (Korean spruce) and forms fish scale-like galls that damage the growth of the host plants. Our investigation reveals that both these galls and the fruits

Receptor tyrosine phosphatases regulate axon guidance across the midline of the Drosophila embryo [PDF]
Neural receptor-linked protein tyrosine phosphatases (RPTPs) are required for guidance of motoneuron and photoreceptor growth cones in Drosophila. These phosphatases have not been implicated in growth cone responses to specific guidance cues, however, so

Directing growth cones of optic axons growing with laser scissors and laser tweezers [PDF]
We have combined a laser scissors and a laser tweezers to study, (1) the response of nerve fiber growth cones to laserinduced damage on single axons, and (2) localized microfluidic flow generated by laser-driven spinning birefringent particles.

Prediction of Anisotropic Single-Dirac-Cones in Bi${}_{1-x}$Sb${}_{x}$ Thin Films
The electronic band structures of Bi${}_{1-x}$Sb${}_{x}$ thin films can be varied as a function of temperature, pressure, stoichiometry, film thickness and growth orientation.

Ena/VASP function in retinal axons is required for terminal arborization but not pathway navigation [PDF]
The Enabled/vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein (Ena/VASP) family of proteins is required for filopodia formation in growth cones and plays a crucial role in guidance cue-induced remodeling of the actin cytoskeleton.
