'Accumulating evidence indicates that gut microbiota dysbiosis is associated with increased blood–brain barrier (BBB) permeability and contributes to Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis. In contrast, the influence of gut microbiota on the blood-cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) barrier has not yet been studied.'

Britain will rejoin two of the EU’s science funding projects in a major post-Brexit shift.
The UK government announced Thursday that it will associate to both Horizon Europe, the bloc’s multibillion-euro research funding scheme, and Copernicus, its earth observation program, under a “bespoke new agreement unlocking unparalleled research opportunities, and also the right deal for British taxpayers.”

'A longstanding debate persists regarding whether language and action share the same neural basis, with 2 opposing views. One view proposes that language emerged from action expressed in communicative gestures, and thus they share a common basis [5–7]. The other view sees language as a cognitive ability independent of action'

'Não é a falta de mundo, ou de cosmopolitismo, o grande defeito de Cavaco. É a sua arrogância. A sua dificuldade, talvez impossibilidade, de admitir erros. E claro que teria muito sobre o que se debruçar.'

“A principios del siglo XX no estaba claro que estudiar los fenómenos espiritistas fuera una pseudociencia. Todavía existía la intención de ver qué leyes físicas o psicológicas podía haber detrás de estos fenómenos”, expone Graus. El prefacio del libro Fotografie di Fantasmi, de hecho, está escrito por el francés Charles Richet, padre de la palabra ectoplasma y ganador del Nobel de Medicina en 1913 por descubrir la anafilaxia, las reacciones alérgicas extremadamente graves.'

“I was raised Catholic, so I know their stance on these things … but I guess when you think it’s a public hospital, there’s that sense that public hospitals care for you regardless of the condition that you’re in, so it hadn’t really crossed my mind that that barrier would apply to me. It was a shock.”
'It is not well understood, which molecular and biochemical pathways are utilized by such cryptobiotic organisms, and how long they might suspend life. Here, we show that a soil nematode Panagrolaimus kolymaensis, suspended life for 46,000 years in the Siberian permafrost.'

'The mystery cover art shows a strapping centaur with delicate wings flying above a menacing green face with bright red eyes. Craggy mountains and fluffy dark clouds surround the haunting figures. The website Book Riot called the art “nightmare fuel.” The artist’s name isn’t mentioned anywhere in the book.'
