High-energy nuclear collisions recreate extreme conditions similar to those in the early universe, producing quark–gluon plasma (QGP), a hot state of matter in which quarks and gluons are no longer confined inside protons and neutrons.
A team involving researchers from Wroclaw Medical University analyzed studies of people with schizophrenia spectrum disorders and mood disorders, including depression and bipolar disorder. They found that the two groups showed distinct patterns of innate immune activity.
