Transdifferentiation--fact or artifact.
Normal development appears to involve a progressive restriction in developmental potential. However, recent evidence suggests that this progressive restriction is not irreversible and can be altered to reveal novel phenotypic potentials of stem, progenitor, and even differentiated cells. While some of these results can be explained by the presence of contaminating cell populations, persistence ...
متن کاملPsychiatric comorbidity: fact or artifact?
The frequent occurrence of comorbidity has brought about an extensive theoretical debate in psychiatry. Why are the rates of psychiatric comorbidity so high and what are their implications for the ontological and epistemological status of comorbid psychiatric diseases?

Although more than thirty years of intensive investigation have passed since McClintock first published results on menstrual synchrony, there is still no conclusive evidence for the existence of this phenomenon. Indeed, a growing body of nullresult studies, critiques of menstrual synchrony studies, and the lack of convincing evolutionary explanations bring into question the existence of this ph...
متن کاملThe Microbe-Free Plant: Fact or Artifact?
Plant-microbe interactions are ubiquitous. Plants are threatened by pathogens, but they are even more commonly engaged in neutral or mutualistic interactions with microbes: belowground microbial plant associates are mycorrhizal fungi, Rhizobia, and plant-growth promoting rhizosphere bacteria, aboveground plant parts are colonized by internally living bacteria and fungi (endophytes) and by micro...
متن کاملThe Hubness Phenomenon: Fact or Artifact?
The hubness phenomenon, as it was recently described, consists in the observation that for increasing dimensionality of a data set the distribution of the number of times a data point occurs among the k nearest neighbors of other data points becomes increasingly skewed to the right. As a consequence, so-called hubs emerge, that is, data points that appear in the lists of the k nearest neighbors...
