ADP-ribosylating toxins have been the focus of intensive research for more than 30 years. Researchers from diverse fields of science have taken an interest in these bacterial toxins; they are studied, for example, by microbiologists, biochemists, cell biologists, and pharmacologists. There are two principal reasons for the broad and still growing interest in ADP ribosylating toxins.

Second, the ADP-ribosylating toxins provide potent and often unique pharmacological tools for the study of the physiological functions o...
Presentator Roos Moggré weet wat paniekaanvallen en een burn-out betekenen. Vanuit deze ervaring praat zij met bekende mannen die vol in het leven staan, succes hebben én mentale uitdagingen kennen. Eerlijk, relativerend en soms ook humoristisch vertellen zij over hun persoonlijke demonen. Acteur Huub Stapel schaamt zich helemaal niet voor zijn burn-out en het jarenlange bedplassen. Singer-songwriter Lucky Fonz III vertelt dat hij niet meer wist hoe hij verder moest.

Dit openhartige boek is een uitnodiging aan mannen om meer over hun mentale problemen te praten. En om je altijd te blijven scheren, hoe diep je ook in de put zit.
