Objective: The present study aimed at comparing the effectiveness of an Attentional Computerized Cognitive Training and a commercial Exergame Training.
Methods: Eighty-four healthy older adults took part in the study. They were randomly assigned to one of the following conditions: Attentional Computerized Cognitive Training (ATT-CCT), Exergame Training (EXERG-T), or passive Control Group (CG).
The plant vasculature delivers phloem sap to the growth apices of sink organs, the meristems, via the interconnected sieve elements of the protophloem. In the A. thaliana root meristem, the stem cells form two files of protophloem sieve elements (PPSEs), whose timely differentiation requires a set of positive genetic regulators.

This study aimed at investigating the effects of a cognitive-motor exergame training on cognitive functions and mood, in healthy older adults. A randomized controlled pilot study was conducted to compare a cognitive-motor exergame training with a passive control group.

- Mutant mice lack whisker hair follicles but still have fur due to specific gene expression during early development.
- Conditional knockout experiments in these mice show that certain gene expressions required for whisker development are lost, even though some initial signaling pathways remain intact.
- The study also reveals that cells involved in whisker development not only provide signals but also serve as multipotent progenitors, influencing nerve organization and evolutionary changes in primates.
