Conformational transitions of the serotonin 5-HT<inf>3</inf> receptor
The serotonin 5-HT3 receptor is a pentameric ligand-gated ion channel (pLGIC). It belongs to a large family of receptors that function as allosteric signal transducers across the plasma membrane1,2; upon binding of neurotransmitter molecules to extracellular sites, the receptors undergo complex conformational transitio...

Heterogeneity in VEGFR3 levels drives lymphatic vessel hyperplasia through cell-autonomous and non-cell-autonomous mechanisms
Incomplete delivery to the target cells is an obstacle for successful gene therapy approaches. Here we show unexpected effects of incomplete targeting, by demonstrating how heterogeneous inhibition of a growth promoting signaling pathway promotes tissue hyperplasia. We studied the function of the lymphangiogenic VEGFR3...

A Constitutive Account of ‘Rationality Requires’
The requirements of rationality are fundamental in practical and theoretical philosophy. Nonetheless, there exists no correct account of what constitutes rational requirements. This paper attempts to provide a correct constitutive account of ‘rationality requires’. I argue that rational requirements are grounded in ‘ne...

Metabolic integration by nutrient SENSing
Nutrient sensing enables metabolic homeostasis by matching energy use with fuel availability. The vast body of knowledge on pro-anabolic nutrient sensors, such as insulin and class 1 phosphoinositol-3 kinase (PI3K) signalling exposed the missing links in molecular coordination of catabolism. The cellular catabolism rel...

Evaluation of long chain 1,14-alkyl diols in marine sediments as indicators for upwelling and temperature
Long chain alkyl diols form a group of lipids occurring widely in marine environments. Recent studies have suggested several palaeoclimatological applications for proxies based on their distributions, but have also revealed uncertainty about their applicability. Here we evaluate the use of long chain 1,14-alkyl diol in...

Stable Non Uniform Black Strings Below The Critical Dimension
The higher-dimensional vacuum Einstein equation admits translationally non-uniform black string solutions. It has been argued that infinitesimally non-uniform black strings should be unstable in 13 or fewer dimensions and otherwise stable. We construct numerically non-uniform black string solutions in 11, 12, 13, 14 an...
