For decades, science believed the eyes served only one purpose: to capture light and form visual images of the world around us. But hiding in the back of the retina is a secondary, completely invisible optical system that has nothing to do with seeing. Intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) are specialized receptors designed solely to measure the intensity and color of ambient light. These microscopic sensors are hardwired directly into the brain's master clock. They ...

This perspective leads to the view that rather than reflecting only one pathway to end-state disease, each is a spectrum disorder,...

Encuentros transformadores con el Verbo hecho carneUna de las tendencias arraigadas en el ser humano es la de crear dioses a su imagen y semejanza (Éxodo 32). Impacientes con el obrar de un Dios que actúa con parámetros diferentes a los nuestros, optamos por un dios que piense y actúe como nosotros lo hacemos. Jesús no se libra de esta tendencia a domesticar lo divino. El problema es que un Jesús desprovisto de los atributos que más lo distinguen se vuelve inofensiv...
