The present study investigated attachment patterns among 60 foster children (FC) and 42 comparison children (CC) at 2 years (T1) and again at 3 years (T2) of age, as well as stability from T1 to T2. Descriptive analyses, including cross-tabulation, were used to present attachment patterns, group differences and stability from T1 to T2. Most FC were securely attached at T1, and no group differences were identified; neither the FC nor CC differed from typical children in their attachment patterns. Furthermore, the majority of children in both groups received the same classification at both time points. Among FC who were securely attached at T1, a majority remained so at T2, while among those classified as disorganized at T1, significantly less remained so at T2. The study suggests that young FC have the possibility to form enduring secure attachments when placed in stable and well-functioning foster homes.

Intelligent decisions in response to external informative input can allow organisms to achieve their biological goals while spending very little of their own resources. In this paper, we develop and study a minimal model for a navigational task, performed by an otherwise completely motorless particle that possesses the ability of hitchhiking in a bath of active Brownian particles (ABPs). Hitchhiking refers to identifying and attaching to suitable surrounding bath particles.

Purpose: A substantial proportion of children with high risk Neuroblastoma die within the first 5 years post-diagnosis despite the complex treatment applied. In the recent years, tumor environment has been revealed as key factor for cancer treatment efficacy. In this sense, non-tumorigenic Neural Crest progenitor cells from high risk patients, have been described as part of Neuroblastoma stroma, promoting tumor growth and contributing to mesenchyme formation.

Strigolactones (SLs) are signaling compounds made by plants. They play a crucial role in acting as long-distance signals from root to shoot to coordinate shoot growth with root environmental conditions. Here, we test whether and how SLs play a role in the climbing behavior of pea plants by studying the circumnutation of the tendrils using three-dimensional (3D) kinematical analysis.
