TL;DR: The hyperhydrated state of shoots and the cancerous state of cells, both induced under conditions of stress in invitro cultures, are identified and detailed, because they perfectly illustrate the stress-induced state-change concept.

TL;DR: An appraisal of the redox capacities of hyperhydrated shoots together with a study of some enzymic activities that catalyse pentose phosphate and glycolytic pathways has indeed shown that such shoots have evolved towards a temporary state of lower differentiation or a juvenile state with a sufficient activity to survive and to defend themselves.

TL;DR: Results indicate that additional recovery sleep after sleep restriction provided by a midday nap prior to recovery sleep or a sleep extended night can improve alertness and return leukocyte counts to baseline values.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of blackcurrant leaves and found that the leaf extract has the highest antioxidant capacity and the highest total phenolic content.

TL;DR: The quantification of isoorientin in the extracts showed a correlation with their antioxidant activity, suggesting the potential of P. edulis rinds as functional food or as a possible source of natural flavonoids.
