Abstract Introduction: Osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM) is the therapeutic approach to involving hands-on treatment alleviate structural or functional dysfunctions which may be present in human body at any given time, especially after physically taxing activities. OMM has proven successful of these on patients for over a century earth. Little known about how could applied zero-gravity en...

The cytosol-facing membranes of cellular organelles contain proteins that enable signal transduction, regulation of morphology and trafficking, protein import and export, and other specialized processes. Discovery of these proteins by traditional biochemical fractionation can be plagued with contaminants and loss of key components. Using peroxidase-mediated proximity biotinylation, we captured ...

Mitochondrial ability of shaping Ca(2+) signals has been demonstrated in a large number of cell types, but it is still debated in heart cells. Here, we take advantage of the molecular identification of the mitochondrial Ca(2+) uniporter (MCU) and of unique targeted Ca(2+) probes to directly address this issue. We demonstrate that, during spontaneous Ca(2+) pacing, Ca(2+) peaks on the outer mito...

9 Abstract In addition to longer-term engagement in medita10 tion, the past years have seen an increasing interest in the 11 impact of single bouts of meditation on cognition. In this 12 hypothesis and theory article, we adopt the distinction be13 tween focused-attention meditation (FAM) and open14 monitoring meditation (OMM) and argue that these different 15 types of meditation have different,...

Meditation is becoming an increasingly popular topic for scientific research and various effects of extensive meditation practice (ranging from weeks to several years) on cognitive processes have been demonstrated. Here we show that extensive practice may not be necessary to achieve those effects. Healthy adult non-meditators underwent a brief single session of either focused attention meditati...

Here we consider the possibility that meditation has an immediate impact on information processing. Moreover, we were interested to see whether this impact affects attentional input control, as previous observations suggest, or the handling of response conflict. Healthy adults underwent a brief single session of either focused attention meditation (FAM), which is assumed to increase top-down co...

PTEN induced kinase 1 (PINK1) is a serine/threonine kinase in the outer membrane of mitochondria (OMM), and known as a responsible gene of Parkinson's disease (PD). The precursor of PINK1 is synthesized in the cytosol and then imported into the mitochondria via the translocase of the OMM (TOM) complex. However, a large part of PINK1 import mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we examined u...

Mathematics is a fast growing discipline where an average of 120 thousand papers are published per year. We seek to provide better interfaces to interact with this huge collection of documents. To study new techniques that allow users to intuitively assess and interact with mathematical publication collections we use OpenMathMap (OMM) – a computer-generated map which represents Mathematical Sub...

Single-bout focused-attention meditation (FAM) and open-monitoring (OMM) are assumed to bias metacontrol states towards more persistent versus flexible processing, respectively. In Experiment 1, we tested whether monitoring updating of working memory (WM) representations in an N-back task with high (3-back), medium (2-back), low (1-back) WM demands (varied within participants) is affected by pr...
