  2. Spinel group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinel_group

    The mineral spinel MgAl 2 O 4 has a normal spinel structure. In a normal spinel structure, the ions are in the following positions, where i, j, and k are arbitrary integers and δ, ε, and ζ are small real numbers (note that the unit cell can be chosen differently, giving different coordinates): [16]

  3. Spinel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinel

    Polyhedral representation of spinel MgAl 2 O 4. Spinel (/ s p ɪ ˈ n ɛ l, ˈ s p ɪ n əl / [7]) is the magnesium/aluminium member of the larger spinel group of minerals. It has the formula MgAl 2 O 4 in the cubic crystal system. Its name comes from the Latin word spinella, a diminutive form of spine, in reference to its pointed crystals. [5]

  4. Spinal cord - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinal_cord

    Sectional organization of spinal cord. The spinal cord is the main pathway for information connecting the brain and peripheral nervous system. [3] [4] Much shorter than its protecting spinal column, the human spinal cord originates in the brainstem, passes through the foramen magnum, and continues through to the conus medullaris near the second lumbar vertebra before terminating in a fibrous ...

  5. Spindle apparatus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spindle_apparatus

    In cell biology, the spindle apparatus is the cytoskeletal structure of eukaryotic cells that forms during cell division to separate sister chromatids between daughter cells. It is referred to as the mitotic spindle during mitosis , a process that produces genetically identical daughter cells, or the meiotic spindle during meiosis , a process ...

  6. Unit cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_cell

    A primitive cell is a unit cell that contains exactly one lattice point. For unit cells generally, lattice points that are shared by n cells are counted as ⁠ 1 / n ⁠ of the lattice points contained in each of those cells; so for example a primitive unit cell in three dimensions which has lattice points only at its eight vertices is considered to contain ⁠ 1 / 8 ⁠ of each of them. [3]

    Two new human cell atlases have mapped the molecular machinery that builds tissue in the weeks after conception — and could eventually point the way to addressing developmental disorders.

  8. Ringwoodite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ringwoodite

    Ringwoodite is polymorphous with forsterite, Mg 2 SiO 4, and has a spinel structure.Spinel group minerals crystallize in the isometric system with an octahedral habit. Olivine is most abundant in the upper mantle, above about 410 km (250 mi); the olivine polymorphs wadsleyite and ringwoodite are thought to dominate the transition zone of the mantle, a zone present from about 410 to 660 km

  9. Microtubule-associated protein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microtubule-associated_protein

    These are the most well studied MAPs—MAP2 and tau —which participate in determining the structure of different parts of nerve cells, with MAP2 being found mostly in dendrites and tau in the axon. These proteins have a conserved C-terminal microtubule-binding domain and variable N-terminal domains projecting outwards, probably interacting ...
