The connecting brain in context: How adolescent plasticity supports learning and development by Amanda E. Baker, Adriana Galván, Andrew J. Fuligni

“…Such exploration can accelerate experiential learning and the formation of social networks as adolescents prepare for adult independence. This review examines the complex interplay between adolescent neuroplasticity, environmental influences, and learning processes, synthesizing findings from recent studies that illustrate how factors such as social interactions, school environments, and neighborhood contexts influence both the transient activation and enduring organization of the developing brain. …”

Mesenchymal Stem and Progenitor Cells in Regeneration: Tissue Specificity and Regenerative Potential by Rokhsareh Rohban, Thomas Rudolf Pieber

“…The potential use of embryonic stem cells and invention of induced pluripotent stem cells raised hope for clinical regenerative purposes; however, the use of these interventions for regenerative therapy showed its dark side, as many health concerns and ethical issues arose in terms of using these cells in clinical applications. In this regard, adult stem cells climbed up to the top list of regenerative tools and mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) showed promise for regenerative cell therapy with a rather limited level of risk. …”

A two-sex matrix population model to represent harem structure by Anthony Tongen, María Zubillaga, Jorge E. Rabinovich

“…In this article we develop an adaptable matrix population modeling framework for species that have a harem-like social structure under an assumption that the transitions from newborn to juvenile and juvenile to adult both take one time step. We are able to calculate not only the growth rates and stable stage distributions, but also the mathematical expressions for harem size for this model. …”
