Intact habit learning in work addiction: Evidence from a probabilistic sequence learning task by Zsuzsanna Viktória Pesthy, Krisztina Berta, Teodóra Vékony, Dezső Németh, Bernadette Kun

“…These findings suggest that individuals with WA exhibit intact habit learning, indicating that the addictive nature of work behavior may not solely stem from habitual processes. This highlights the unique features of WA compared to other addictions, potentially contributing to the relatively better overall functioning observed in affected individuals.…”

In Vitro Models of Cardiovascular Disease: Embryoid Bodies, Organoids and Everything in Between by Theodora M. Stougiannou, Konstantinos C. Christodoulou, Dimos Karangelis

“…Cardiovascular disease comprises a group of disorders affecting or originating within tissues and organs of the cardiovascular system; most, if not all, will eventually result in cardiomyocyte dysfunction or death, negatively impacting cardiac function. Effective models of cardiac disease are thus important for understanding crucial aspects of disease progression, while recent advancements in stem cell biology have allowed for the use of stem cell populations to derive such models. …”
