Membrane composition and thermodynamic identity as boundaries of life for synthetic cell research

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
What makes a cell a cell? The boundary of a living cell is not just a wall. Read as a Markov blanket, the membrane separates internal from external states, generating identity and non‐equilibrium order. Can this identity be rebuilt from scratch in a synthetic cell?

Distributive impact of structural change: does environmental degradation matter? [PDF]

Vulnerability to reduction of natural capital depends on defensive substitution possibilities that, in turn, are affected by the availability of other productive factors.

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Structural insights into complement regulation [PDF]

, 2018
As an important tool of the innate immune system, the complement system rapidly recognizes and clears invading microbes and host debris. Furthermore, it stimulates B- and T-cell development through cross talks with the adaptive immune system.

In vitro and in silico modelling of ROS1‐positive non‐small cell lung cancer reveals fusion‐dependent tyrosine kinase inhibitor responses

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Drug resistance limits treatment success in a subset of lung cancers driven by ROS1 gene alterations. Using patient‐derived cells and computer simulations, we studied three key mutations and how they affect five targeted drugs. The mutations reduced drug effectiveness in different ways by altering protein structure and behavior.

Statistical Variability of Image-Derived Observables in Rotating-Drum Tests of a Cohesive Metal Powder: Dynamic Angle of Repose Versus Contour-Length Statistics

Powders
Rotating-drum tests are widely employed for the characterization of powder flowability through image-derived free-surface observables. However, the statistical stability of the selected observable is rarely examined, although it directly determines the ...
