The paradox of a brain trying to study itself presents a conundrum, raising questions about self-reference, consciousness, psychiatric disorders, and the boundaries of scientific inquiry. By which means can this complex organ shift the focus of study towards itself? We aim at unpacking the intricacies of this paradox. Historically, this question has been raised by philosophers under different frameworks.

Better understanding of and addressing umbilical entanglement in the third trimester of pregnancy is necessary to estimate its impact on fetal circulation. An analysis of single physiological pregnancies wrapped with one or two coils of the umbilical cord around the neck makes it possible to understand the severity of the problem and distinguish it from perinatal umbilical strangulation. In an echocardiographic study performed at 32.

D-amino acids, found in excess in a minority of organisms and crucial for marine invertebrates, contrast with the more common L-amino acids in most life forms. The local prebiotic origin of D-amino acid enantiomeric excess in natural systems remains an unsolved conundrum. Herein, we demonstrate the formation of enantiomeric excess (ee) D-amino acids through photocatalytic reductive amination of α-keto acids on natural pyrite.

Glioma is the most common malignant tumor of the central nervous system, and the ability of traditional clinical treatment to prolong the survival of glioma patients is limited. A substantial body of evidence underscores the pivotal role of the immune system in eradicating malignant cells and impeding tumor metastasis. Consequently, tumor immunotherapy has become a promising avenue to address the clinical conundrum faced by glioma patients.
