Modeling lipid homeostasis using stable isotope tracing and flux analysis

Online now: Wessendorf-Rodriguez et al. develop a pipeline for applying metabolic flux analysis to quantify lipid homeostasis. Lipid-MFA elucidates differences in synthesis and salvage fluxes in precision-cut lung slices harboring tumors with common driver mutations of lung adenocarcinoma. Application of Lipid-MFA reveals distinct trafficking of ceramide species into the sphingolipidome.

Is this glass square the long, long future of data storage?

Scientists at Microsoft Research in the United States have demonstrated a system called Silica for writing and reading information in ordinary pieces of glass which can store two million books’ worth of data in a thin, palm-sized square.

In a paper published today in Nature, the researchers say their tests suggest the data will be readable for more than 10,000 years.
