Riya Thomas·Follow2 min read·--Last night, I had a dream. I won an award — third place. The prize? A drink that helps grow hair. It seemed random at first, but something about it stuck with me. Why third place? Why a drink for hair growth? I didn’t think too deeply about it at the time, but the dream lingered in my mind. Then today, I did the Boardroom Technique from Vishen Lakhiani’s Be Extraordinary program.

Riya Thomas·Follow2 min read·--We live in a culture where “hustle” is worn as a badge of honor. Productivity apps flood our phones, to-do lists haunt us at night, and any moment not “optimized” feels like a failure. But what if I told you that taking a step back — having an “unproductive” day — might be the best thing you do for yourself and your future? Let’s explore why doing less is often the hidden key to achieving more.

Riya Thomas·Follow3 min read·--In a world obsessed with order and minimalism, messy spaces often get a bad rap. They’re labeled as chaotic, unproductive, and in need of immediate taming. Yet, there’s an undeniable authenticity in mess — a story waiting to be told, layers of personality, and even an undercurrent of design principles at play. What if, instead of condemning the clutter, we took a step back to understand it? Could messiness hold lessons for interior design?

BACKGROUND: The most prevalent cancer treatments cause cell death through DNA damage. However, DNA damage response (DDR) repair pathways, initiated by tumor cells, can withstand the effects of anticancer drugs, providing justification for combining DDR inhibitors with DNA-damaging anticancer treatments. METHODS: Cell viability assays were performed with CellTiter-Glo assay. DNA damage was evaluated using Western blotting analysis.

cerebellummetabotropic glutamate receptorPurkinje cellsynapseSignificance StatementThe cerebellum is separated into functionally distinguished lobules, yet the lobules have a repeated and similar pattern of connectivity. Thus, it remains unclear how cells and circuits manage to perform the diverse functions that the cerebellum supports. Our results demonstrate that cerebellar Purkinje cells have synapses with strikingly different properties across lobules.

AbstractThe cerebellum plays an important role in diverse brain functions, ranging from motor learning to cognition. Recent studies have suggested that molecular and cellular heterogeneity within cerebellar lobules contributes to functional differences across the cerebellum. However, the specific relationship between molecular and cellular heterogeneity and diverse functional outputs of different regions of the cerebellum remains unclear.

Injury responses in cells lacking proliferation capacity such as terminally differentiated neurons consists of complex mechanisms to ensure cellular homeostasis. Brain tumor patients undergoing radiation therapy experience cognitive impairments similar to those seen in patients suffering from neurodegenerative diseases.

Abu Dhabi is planning to invest nearly $50 billion in India, which is also its second-largest trading partner. The investment is part of broader growth plans with one of the world’s fastest-growing economies. Further details regarding the matter are yet to be made public and the provisional pledges could be made during the early months of 2024. The new investments would be based on the meetings of the UAE President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed in July with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
