Leptin—the most famous adipose tissue-secreted hormone—in the human body is mostly observed in a negative connotation, as the hormone level increases with the accumulation of body fat. Nowadays, fatness is becoming another ...
Experimental Induction of Micro- and Macrosomatognosia: A Virtual Hand Illusion Study
(2021-04-29)
Although body size misperceptions are known to occur under various neurological and psychiatric conditions, their neurocognitive underpinnings are not yet resolved. Accordingly, it would be beneficial to have an experimental ......
Fetal-Derived Immune Cells at the Roots of Lifelong Pathophysiology
(2021-02-23)
Tissue-resident innate immune cells exert a wide range of functions in both adult
homeostasis and pathology. Our understanding of when and how these cellular
networks are established has dramatically changed with the ...
