Stem cell escape is associated with reduced cell adhesion and extracellular matrix gene expression and leads to hair follicle miniaturization.Microscopy and cell staining are the primary tools neuroscientists use to create detailed maps of the human brain.A chemical that is sometimes emitted from human skin, breath and faeces has no detectable smell, but it appears to influence people’s behaviour, with men becoming calmer and women becoming more aggressive.Results from neural networks support the idea that brains are “prediction machines” — and that they work that way to conserve energy.Cancer cells can boost their own growth by stealing energy-generating parts from nearby immune cells. We already knew that some cell types grow nanotubes, tentacle-like structures made of a protein called actin.Coffee intake of 2 to 3 cups/d or tea intake of 3 to 5 cups/d or their combination intake of 4 to 6 cups/d were linked with the lowest hazard ratio (HR) of incident stroke and dementia.One of the most consumed drugs in the US – and the most commonly taken analgesic worldwide – could be doing a lot more than simply taking the edge off your headache, according to scientists.TAPP News & NotesDo students harm themselves by changing responses to multiple-choice test items?
