Abstract: Why do some individuals gamble more than others? Existing theories, based on how close animals are to starvation, have been only weakly supported by evidence. We found that faster ageing birds were less likely to… read more here.

DOI: 10.3164/jcbn.19-108
Abstract: Thioredoxin is a low molecular weight (approximately 12 kDa) redox protein, and protects against harmful stimuli such as oxidative stress. Smoking evokes oxidative stress, among other biological responses. The clinical relevance of thioredoxin in smoking… read more here.
