Mind the gap: Keeping UV lesions in check

“Mind the Gap” in Reporting the Outdated Statistics

Keeping the Body in Mind

One of the most relevant clinical symptoms of AN for the cognitive psychologist is the strong distortion of the mental representation of the body [1]. Patients suffering from AN (most of whom are young women) often report feeling fatter and larger than they really are. Even though a slight (<5%) overestimation bias is found in healthy women, the phenomenon is significantly exaggerated in patien...

Keeping carbon dioxide in check

The response of the brainstem to increased levels of carbon dioxide in the blood is coordinated with the response of the cardiovascular system.

Centrosomes: Keeping Tumors in Check

Centrosomal abnormalities have been observed in a wide range of tumors, but it is not clear whether these abnormalities alone can induce cancer formation or whether they are a consequence of cancer progression. Recent work in Drosophila suggests that centrosome defects in asymmetrically dividing cells can induce tumors at a higher frequency than other conditions known to cause genomic instability.

Keeping EGFR signaling in check

The discovery of multiple entry and trafficking routes within cells has changed the classical view of endocytosis: once thought to be a simple one-way mechanism to downmodulate plasma membrane (PM) signaling, it is now considered to be a network of intricate and interconnected highly regulated pathways, which allows the resolution of receptor-originated signals in space and time. In addition to...
