Dear Readers,
March is my favourite month of the year.
Spring is here, with its sudden changes
of weather, and issue 16 keeps the same
spirit. As always, Dr. Fahad Basheer,
author of The Science of Emotions, has
written two pieces of special interest.
The first one digs into the Chemistry
of stress to show us how it affects our
health, whilst the second shows us how
emotions influence our immune system.
The Engineer Dimitre Assenov offers us
the reading of his latest scientific paper
under the intriguing title: “I, the Alien”.
Are we out of place in this planet? You
may find the answer here.
And Markus Köller comes with an interesting approach to antibodies: We all
know it from biology lessons at school:
Antibodies help us to ward off disease
and are essential components of our
immune system. What many people do
not know is that physicians and scientists
use animal antibodies to identify diseased or mutated cells. This makes them
an important instrument in the diagnosis
of diseases such as cancer.
