The Insulin-Like Growth Factor System in the Long-Lived Naked Mole-Rat.
(2015)
Naked mole-rats (Heterocephalus glaber) (NMRs) are the longest living rodents known. They show negligible senescence, and are resistant to cancers and certain damaging effects associated with aging. The insulin-like growth ...
Neither phylogenomic nor palaeontological data support a Palaeogene origin of placental mammals.
(2014-01)
O'Leary et al. (O'Leary et al. 2013 Science 339, 662-667. (doi:10.1126/science.1229237)) performed a fossil-only dating analysis of mammals, concluding that the ancestor of placentals post-dated the Cretaceous-Palaeogene ...
Skeletal muscle repair by adult human mesenchymal stem cells from synovial membrane.
(2003-03-17)
We have demonstrated previously that adult human synovial membrane-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hSM-MSCs) have myogenic potential in vitro (De Bari, C., F. Dell'Accio, P. Tylzanowski, and F.P. Luyten. 2001. Arthritis ...
The CogBIAS longitudinal study protocol: cognitive and genetic factors influencing psychological functioning in adolescence.
(2017-12-29)
BACKGROUND: Optimal psychological development is dependent upon a complex interplay between individual and situational factors. Investigating the development of these factors in adolescence will help to improve understanding ...
Learning Temporal Statistics for Sensory Predictions in Aging.
(2016-03)
Predicting future events based on previous knowledge about the environment is critical for successful everyday interactions. Here, we ask which brain regions support our ability to predict the future based on implicit ...
Learning temporal statistics for sensory predictions in mild cognitive impairment.
(2015-08)
Training is known to improve performance in a variety of perceptual and cognitive skills. However, there is accumulating evidence that mere exposure (i.e. without supervised training) to regularities (i.e. patterns that ...
Men and women differ in their perception of gender bias in research institutions.
(2019)
There is extensive evidence of gender inequality in research leading to insufficient representation of women in leadership positions. Numbers revealing a gender gap in research are periodically reported by national and ...
Oxytocin increases bias, but not accuracy, in face recognition line-ups.
(2015-07)
Previous work indicates that intranasal inhalation of oxytocin improves face recognition skills, raising the possibility that it may be used in security settings. However, it is unclear whether oxytocin directly acts upon ...
Eye-movement strategies in developmental prosopagnosia and "super" face recognition.
(2017-02)
Developmental prosopagnosia (DP) is a cognitive condition characterized by a severe deficit in face recognition. Few investigations have examined whether impairments at the early stages of processing may underpin the ...
The movement advantage in famous and unfamiliar faces: a comparison of point-light displays and shape-normalised avatar stimuli.
(2013)
Facial movement may provide cues to identity, by supporting the extraction of face shape information via structure-from-motion, or via characteristic patterns of movement. Currently, it is unclear whether familiar and ...
