Mechanochemical interactions in cancer cells: The role of substrate stiffness in cell behavior and drug response
Cancer cells adhere to the extracellular matrix, where they sense and respond to variations in substrate stiffness, influencing their proliferation and invasive potential. Numerous studies have examin...
Physicochemical and microbiome changes in queso Crema de Chiapas during ripening
The dynamic changes in the physicochemical, microbiological, and metagenomic profiles of Crema de Chiapas cheese were evaluated across three ripening stages (2, 29, and 58 days). Although the main phy...
Longer chronic cannabis use in humans is associated with impaired implicit motor learning and supranormal resting state cortical activity
Chronic cannabis use is associated with cognitive impairment, but its impact on implicit motor learning is unclear. Implicit learning of movement sequences (i.e., their specific ordinal and temporal s...
