Τα κουνούπια έχουν αποτελέσει πονοκέφαλο για τον άνθρωπο μάλλον καθ’ όλη τη διάρκεια της ύπαρξής του. Όχι άδικα: τα έντομα είναι τα πιο επικίνδυνα ζώα του κόσμου, αφού μπορούν να μεταδώσουν θανατηφόρες ασθένειες όπως η ελονοσία, ο κίτρινος πυρετός και άλλα. Ενώ τα χημικά απωθητικά που περιέχουν DEET και χρησιμοποιούνται ευρέως είναι αποτελεσματικά και με αμελητέες επιπτώσεις στην υγεία, πολλοί άνθρωποι καταφεύγουν σε φυσικές λύσεις όπως τα φυτά και τα αιθέρια έλαια για μια ασφαλέστερη μέθοδο απώθησης...

Οι θετικές προσδοκίες ότι ένα φάρμακο είναι αποτελεσματικό μπορεί να το καταστήσουν πιο δραστικό, ακόμη και αν οι ασθενείς ενημερωθούν για το φαινόμενο placebo. Το αντίθετο, το φαινόμενο nocebo, δρα με τον ίδιο τρόπο, δηλαδή με την προσδοκία ότι μια θεραπεία θα είναι αναποτελεσματική κάτι που τελικά επιβεβαιώνεται. Η ψυχολόγος υγείας Stefanie Meeuwis από το Πανεπιστήμιο του Leiden βρήκε αρκετές αποδείξεις για τη δράση του placebo και του nocebo σε σχετική έρευνα. Το ενδιαφέρον της ερευνήτριας ήταν...

Receptor internalization and degradation (RID), is a transmembrane protein coded within the E3 region expression cassette of adenoviruses. RID downregulates the cell surface expression of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR), and apoptosis antigen 1 (FAS), causing a reduction of the effects of their respective ligands. In addition, RID inhibits apoptosis by decreasing the secretion of TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) by normal tissue cells. In...
