Riv Biol. 2002 Jan-Apr;95(1):35-61. Towards a morphogenetic perspective on cancer. Aranda-Anzaldo A. The purpose of this paper is to present a critique of the current view that reduces cancer to a cellular problem caused by specific gene mutations and to propose, instead, that such a problem might become more intelligible, if it is understood as [...]
Science 23 January 1976: Vol. 191 no. 4224 pp. 293-295 What retains water in living cells? GN Ling, CL Walton Three types of evidence are presented showing that the retention of cell water does not necessarily depend on the possession of an intact cell membrane. The data agree with the concept that water retention in [...]

Physiol Behav. 1996 Sep;60(3):1039-42. Short-term consumption of a diet rich in fat decreases anxiety response in adult male rats. Prasad A, Prasad C. Short- and long-term changes in the composition of dietary macronutrients [protein (P), carbohydrate (C), and fat (F)] alter neurochemistry and behavior in animals. We examined whether short-term intake of a diet rich [...]
Brain Behav Immun. 2006 Nov;20(6):517-26. Epub 2006 May 2. Immunity and emotions: lipopolysaccharide increases defensive behaviours and potentiates despair in mice.
