In vivo bioluminescence imaging reveals copper deficiency in a murine model of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

abstract：:Recently it has become apparent that N = 2 supersymmetric quantum field theory has something to do with cluster algebras. I review one aspect of the connection: supersymmetric quantum field theories have associated hyperkähler moduli spaces, and these moduli spaces carry a structure that looks like an extension of the...
