Pupillary dilation response reflects surprising moments in music

There are indications that the pupillary dilation response (PDR) reflects surprising moments in an auditory sequence such as the appearance of a deviant noise against repetitively presented Glasses Eyewear pure tones (Liao, Yoneya, Kidani, Kashino, & Furukawa, 2016), and salient and loud sounds that are evaluated by human participants subjectively

Chitosan-Coated Flexible Liposomes Magnify the Anticancer Activity and Bioavailability of Docetaxel: Impact on Composition

Flexible liposomes (FLs) were developed as promising nano-carriers for anticancer drugs.Coating them with chitosan (CS) could improve their drug delivery properties.The aim of this study was to investigate the physicochemical characteristics, pharmacokinetics behavior, and cytotoxic efficacy of docetaxel (DTX)-loaded CS-coated FLs (C-FLs).DTX-loade

Basic, simple and extendable kinetic model of protein synthesis

Protein synthesis is one of the most fundamental biological processes.Despite existence of multiple mathematical models of translation, surprisingly, there is no basic and simple chemical kinetic model of this process, derived directly from the detailed kinetic scheme.One of the reasons for this is that the translation process is characterized by i
