Study Shows How Microscopic Crystals Form Sound and Gravity Sensors Inside the Inner Ear

A UCLA study shows for the first time how microscopic crystals form sound and gravity sensors inside the inner ear. Located at the ends of cilia - tiny cellular hairs in the ear that move and transmit signals -- the crystals play an important role in detecting sound, maintaining balance and regulating movement. Dislodged ear crystals are to blame for the most common form of vertigo.

New "Barcode Chip" Promises to Revolutionize Diagnostic Medical Testing

A new "barcode chip" developed by researchers at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) promises to revolutionize diagnostic medical testing. In less than 10 minutes, and using just a pinprick's worth of blood, the chip can measure the concentrations of dozens of proteins, including those that herald the presence of diseases like cancer and heart disease.
