Cell and tissue specific functional genomics of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis by Lledo Lara, A

“…Overall 1,227 genes (FDR<0.05) were differentially expressed between uninvolved and lesional psoriasis epidermis (n=3) with enrichment of metabolic and immune-related pathways. Integration of GWAS fine-mapping data with epigenetic and gene expression profiles implicated a potentially functional variant in the 2p15 GWAS locus modulating B3GNT2.…”

How Stories Change Us : A Developmental Science of Stories from Fiction and Real Life / by Reese, Elaine, author 655966

“…Likewise, imagined stories and imagined friendships can promote learning, creativity, and well-being, but at the extremes, imaginative processes can be linked to psychopathology. The gender differences observed in women's and men's fiction reading may be due in part to individual differences in mental imagery from practices dating back to early childhood. …”
