Spinoza on Humans as Social Animals

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.
Abstract Spinoza repeatedly suggests that humans are set apart from other animals by their rational and moral abilities. Yet he disparages the traditional definition of the human as a ‘rational animal’ and several of his other views suggest that these abilities are not sufficient by themselves to characterize human nature.

Balancer‐assisted sling recovery of critical equine patients after general anaesthesia

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary Background Traditional sling‐based systems to assist horses during recovery from general anaesthesia (GA) could be improved by adding a balancer to obtain a dynamic weight relief. Objectives To evaluate the applicability of a novel balancer‐assisted sling system during recovery of horses after GA and to report initial experiences with high‐risk

The R203W substitution drives PACS‐1 syndrome by disrupting intramolecular regulation

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The middle region (MR) of PACS‐1 controls engagement with specific partner proteins. This manuscript presents the structure of the Furin binding region (FBR) and how interactions with partners are regulated through the interplay between a basic patch in the FBR and an acidic cluster in the MR.

Structural and thermodynamic analyses of a novel β‐1,2‐glucan binding mode in the ABC transporter solute‐binding protein Chy400_4166 from Chloroflexus aurantiacus

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Cyclic β‐1,2‐glucan (CβG)‐associated solute‐binding protein of type I ABC transporter was originally identified in Chloroflexus aurantiacus, a phototrophic bacterium. Crystal structures in complex with CβGs revealed unique binding modes that are fundamentally distinct from that of the short β‐1,2‐glucooligosaccharides‐binding protein.
