Breaking quantum linearity: constraints from human perception and cosmological implications

open access: yes, 2010
Resolving the tension between quantum superpositions and the uniqueness of the classical world is a major open problem. One possibility, which is extensively explored both theoretically and experimentally, is that quantum linearity breaks above a given ...

Retinal Pigment Epitheliopathy due to Sub‐Optimal Recycling of Vitamin A (RESORVA): A Novel RDH11 ‐Related Phenotype

open access: yesClinical Genetics, Volume 109, Issue 5, Page 972-977, May 2026.
RDH11 is a minor isoenzyme that catalyses the oxidation of 11‐cis‐retinol to 11‐cis‐retinal in the retinal pigment epithelium, alongside RDH5 and RDH10. Biallelic null variants in RDH11 lead to upregulation of RDH5 and RDH10 (transcriptional adaptation), maintaining 11‐cis‐retinal bioavailability, but still causing Retinal Pigment Epitheliopathy due to

Cells and ionic conductances contributing to spontaneous activity in bladder and urethral smooth muscle

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, Volume 604, Issue 9, Page 3611-3632, 1 May 2026.
Abstract figure legend Cells and conductances contributing to spontaneous activity in the lower urinary tract. Bladder and urethra exhibit spontaneous contractions at both cellular and tissue levels. Both detrusor and urethral smooth muscle cells display activity that is regular and rhythmic.

Struktureller Mechanismus eines Aktivitäts‐Photoschalters am β2‐adrenergen Rezeptor

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 18, 27 April 2026.
Zeitaufgelöste Strukturen aus Messungen an Röntgen‐Freie‐Elektronen‐Lasern in Kombination mit zellulären Assays zeigen, wie der photoschaltbare β‐Blocker Photoazolol‐1 als Wirksamkeits‐Photoschalter der Funktion des β2‐adrenergen Rezeptor wirkt. Die lichtinduzierte Neupositionierung des Liganden verschiebt die Aktivität von inversem Agonistimus hin zu ...

Structural Mechanism of an Efficacy Photoswitch Targeting the β2‐adrenergic Receptor

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie International Edition, Volume 65, Issue 18, 27 April 2026.
Time‐resolved structures from x‐ray free‐electron laser measurements combined with cellular assays demonstrate how the photoswitchable β‐blocker photoazolol‐1 acts as an efficacy switch of β2‐adrenergic receptor function. Light‐induced ligand repositioning shifts activity from inverse agonism toward neutral antagonism by altering local helical ...

The Conformational Switches of a Bacterial Light‐Driven Sodium Pump Characterized by Time‐Resolved Resonance Raman Spectroscopy

open access: yesChemPhysChem, Volume 27, Issue 7, 14 April 2026.
The microbial retinal protein KR2 (Krokinobacter eikastus) is a light‐driven outward Na+ pump, which is coupled to the photocycle of the chromophore. Using time‐resolved continuous‐wave pump‐probe resonance Raman spectroscopy, the operational switches for ion transport are identified, which are the transitions to a specific Schiff base sub‐state and ...

Super-resolution mapping in rod photoreceptors identifies rhodopsin trafficking through the inner segment plasma membrane as an essential subcellular pathway.

open access: yesPLoS Biology
Photoreceptor cells in the vertebrate retina have a highly compartmentalized morphology for efficient phototransduction and vision. Rhodopsin, the visual pigment in rod photoreceptors, is densely packaged into the rod outer segment sensory cilium and ...
