New order from neurological disorders
Article Abstract:
Significant progress has been made over recent years in identifying the genetic features of some diseases of the central nervous system and in understanding pathogenic mechanisms. It should eventually be possible to establish new therapeutic targets and to design new treatments. Researchers are now using model systems for molecular and cell biological investigations of pathogenic mechanisms and to identify new therapeutic targets. These models will be used to test new drugs.

Proteomics' new order
Article Abstract:
The proteome, which is a complete set of proteins expressed by a cell's genome, is a moving target and its constituents continuously change depending on the exposure of the cell. New techniques developed for identifying proteins on a large-scale are stolen by inexperienced users, who draw data, which is hard to reproduce.

Order in chaos
Article Abstract:
D. Rothstein and others in a paper on fluid dynamics show the difference between laminar, chaotic and turbulent mixing. They describe an experiment for examining the complex spatial patterns produced by chaotic advection, and they show that the patterns will recur during each cycle because of simple time-periodic forcing.
