From Insulin to Gazlin

School
BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES

Abstract:
For about one century Insulin was a dominate player in diabetes field. Using a sophisticated mechanism of action, Insulin prohibited other medicine of finding their way to market. Indeed Insulin was a complete cure of diabetes so that as no one felt a need to substitution for that. So all attempts were limited to manipulate insulin’s form and usage to satisfy market demands. However nature refused to obey insulin domination in diabetes world by creating an insulin like cyclic peptide in nettle leaves.
Gazlin, (gazaneh = nettle in Persian + Insulin ) a nano peptide purified from Urtica dioica extract, is a kind o ...

Soft Charges and Electric-Magnetic Duality

School
PARTICLES AND ACCELERATORS

We complete the asymptotic symmetries of Maxwell theory by adding magnetic-type soft charges to the usual electric (Noether) charges and find a novel central extension in the algebra. The nature of magnetic soft charges becomes clear in a duality symmetric formulation of Maxwell theory in which we also discuss the role of duality symmetry.
