Nature abounds in producing a variety of molecules. This is good thing, however, endotoxin detection requirement for an analytical assay “specificity”. Unfortunately, LAL has been found to be increasingly non-specific since the inception its use lieu rabbit pyrogen test. Fortunately, there are viable workarounds terms using Limulus-based testing where non-endotoxin reactive substance false-reac...

Adaptation to gaze direction induces aftereffects in the perception of gaze in subsequently presented faces. Gaze adaptation calibrates neural responses to the most frequently occurring gaze signals and therefore frees up capacity to respond to more novel signals, likely enhancing gaze discrimination and supporting novelty detection. The longevity of aftereffects can provide some insight into t...

Introduction of apomixis, asexual reproduction through seeds, into crop species has the potential to dramatically transform plant breeding. A new study demonstrates that traits can be stably transferred between generations in newly produced apomictic lines, and heralds a breeding revolution needed to increase food production for the growing planet.

surprised by the data. When new data challenge old beliefs, the field becomes primed for discovery. The aim of this commentary is to let the broader psychiatric community know about recent discoveries in schizophrenia epidemiology , and to speculate on how best to leverage these discoveries to advance knowledge. For those who do not follow the literature closely, recent research in the epidemio...
