Participation in Voting Over Budget Allocations: A Field Experiment

, 2023
We study the e ect on the participation rate of employing di erent voting rules in the context of the problem to allocate a xed monetary budget to two di erent public projects. Speci cally, we compare the mean rule according to which the average of the individually proposed allocations is implemented with the median rule which chooses the ...

A Soft Matrix Microenvironment Promotes Laterally Spreading Tumors via Oxidative Phosphorylation‐Dependent Cell Adhesion

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Laterally spreading tumors (LSTs) are precancerous colorectal lesions characterized by a flat morphology. This study reveals a mechanochemical pathway through which a soft matrix microenvironment diminishes spatial constraints in intestinal adenomas. This process promotes deficiencies in tight junction proteins, mediated by the mechanoreceptor ADORA2B ...
