To investigate the effect of γ-terpineol on cell proliferation and apoptosis of human hepatoma BEL-7402 cells to elucidate its molecular mechanism. Here, BEL-7402 cells were treated with various concentrations (40, 80, 160, 320 and 640 μg/ml) of γ-terpineol for 48 h, cell proliferation was determined by 3-(4,5-dimethyl-thiazolyl-2)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromides (MTT) assay. Cell colony inhibition was determined by soft agar assay.

DNA barcoding has become a promising means for the identification of organisms of all life-history stages. Currently, distance-based and tree-based methods are most widely used to define species boundaries and uncover cryptic species. However, there is no universal threshold of genetic distance values that can be used to distinguish taxonomic groups.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how Tai Chi Chuan (TCC) affects brain function by comparing resting-state brain scans of TCC experts and novices.
- TCC experts showed greater functional homogeneity in the right post-central gyrus and less in the left anterior cingulate cortex, suggesting that TCC may enhance certain brain regions while diminishing others.
- The results indicate that changes in brain functional organization due to TCC are linked to improvements in attention-related tasks, highlighting potential benefits for cognitive health in older individuals.
Discriminability effect on Garner interference: evidence from recognition of facial identity and expression.

University at Albany, State University of New York Albany, NY, USA.
Using Garner's speeded classification task existing studies demonstrated an asymmetric interference in the recognition of facial identity and facial expression. It seems that expression is hard to interfere with identity recognition. However, discriminability of identity and expression, a potential confounding variable, had not been carefully examined in existing studies.
