Research Methods Pedagogy: Engaging Psychology Students in Research Methods and Statistics
(2016)
Research methods and statistics are central to the development of professional competence and evidence based psychological practice. Furthermore, the ability to interpret and apply research findings contributes to the ...
Scents that matter - from olfactory stimuli to genes, behaviors and beyond
(2016)
Scents can carry a lot of important information about the environment, conspecifics and other species. While some of these scents are positively related, as the odor of food, mating partners, or familiar conspecifics, other ...
The Search for Biological Active Agent(s) From Actinobacteria
(2018)
There is a large market demand for new drugs. The existing chronic or common ailments without cures, development of new diseases with unknown causes, and the widespread existence of antibiotic-resistant pathogens, have ...
Searching for Immune Tolerance Manipulating New Molecules and Exploiting New Concepts on Lymphocyte Biology
(2016)
The break on immune tolerance is a common point between autoimmune diseases and the uncontrolled effector immune responses against allo-antigens in transplantation. Among the past years, several approaches to restore a ...
Recent Advances in Acidophile Microbiology: Fundamentals and Applications
(2017)
There is considerable interest in pure and applied studies of extremophilic microorganisms, including those (acidophiles) that are active in low pH environments. As elsewhere in microbiology, this is a fast-developing ...
Recent Advances and Challenges on Big Data Analysis in Neuroimaging
(2017)
Big data is revolutionizing our ability to measure and study the human brain. New technology increases the resolution of images that are being study as well as enables researchers to study the brain as it functions. These ...
Recombinant protein expression in microbial systems
(2014)
With the advent of recombinant DNA technology, expressing heterologous proteins in microorganisms rapidly became the method of choice for their production at laboratory and industrial scale. Bacteria, yeasts and other hosts ...
Reversible Ubiquitylation in Plant Biology
(2015)
Reversible ubiquitylation plays an important regulatory role in almost all aspects of cellular and organismal processes in plants. Its pervasive regulatory role in plant biology is primarily due to the involvement of a ...
Reward Processing in Motivational and Affective Disorders
(2016)
Preferential reward processing is the hallmark of addiction, where salient cues become overvalued and trigger compulsion. In depression, rewards appear to lose their incentive properties or become devalued. In the context ...
Reward- and aversion-related processing in the brain: translational evidence for separate and shared circuits
(2016)
Affective brain circuits underpin our moods and emotions. Appetitive and aversive stimuli from our exteroceptive and interoceptive worlds play a key role in the activity of these circuits, but we still do not know precisely ...
The Role of Aire, microRNAs and Cell-Cell Interactions on Thymic Architecture and Induction of Tolerance
(2016)
The focus of this eBook is to bring new insights into central immune tolerance. To fulfill that, much has been discussed about the master in the regulation of tolerance, the autoimmune regulator (Aire) gene the main thymus ...
The role of body and environment in cognition
(2014)
Recent evidence has shown many ways in which our bodies and the environment influence cognition. In this Research Topic we aim to develop our understanding of cognition by considering the diverse and dynamic relationship ...
Role and prevalence of antibiosis and the related resistance genes in the environment
(2015)
It becomes increasingly clear that the basis of antibiotic resistance problem among bacterial pathogens is not confined to the borders of clinical microbiology but has broader ecological and evolutionary associations. This ...
The Role of AAA+ Proteins in Protein Repair and Degradation
(2018)
ATPases Associated with diverse cellular Activities (AAA+) comprise a superfamily of proteins that are defined by the presence of the AAA+ domain containing canonical Walker A and B motifs required for ATP binding and ...
The role of arginase in endothelial dysfunction
(2015)
In recent years, an increasing number of manuscripts have been published addressing the deleterious role of arginase in endothelial dysfunction. ROS have been shown to play a crucial role in arginase activation, which in ...
The role of the immune system in the pathogenesis of diabetic complications
(2014)
The main causes of morbidity and mortality in diabetes are macrovasular and microvascular complications, including atherosclerosis, nephropathy, and retinopathy. As the definition of atherosclerosis as a chronic, smoldering, ...
The Role of Working Memory and Executive Function in Communication under Adverse Conditions
(2016)
Communication is vital for social participation. However, communication often takes place under suboptimal conditions. This makes communication harder and less reliable, leading at worst to social isolation. In order to ...
The role of viable but non-infectious developmental forms in chlamydial biology
(2014)
The chlamydiae are Gram-negative, obligate intracellular bacteria with a complex developmental cycle comprising a metabolically less-active, infectious stage, the elementary body (EB), and a metabolically more active stage, ...
Role of Stem Cells in Skeletal Muscle Development, Regeneration, Repair, Aging and Disease
(2016)
Adult stem cells are responsible for tissue regeneration and repair throughout life. Their quiescence or activation are tightly regulated by common signalling pathways that often recapitulate those happening during embryonic ...
The Role of the Plasminogen Activating System in Neurobiology
(2017)
This ebook contains a series of original publications, reviews and mini-reviews by leaders in the field that address the growing importance of the plasminogen activating system in neurobiology. The articles included cover ...
