The Art of Life: An Ancient Idea and Its Survival [PDF]
Teun Tieleman (UCLA / Utrecht University) surveys the history of the philosophical notion of the ‘art of life’, starting from its originator Socrates and his ancient successors down to its role among present-day philosophers. Apart from Socrates, special

RRAGD p.(Ser76Leu) Variant Causes Dysregulated Expression of Muscle Development and Cytoskeleton Genes in Cardiomyocytes. [PDF]
Under normal conditions, RagD and mTORC1 respond to amino acid changes. Upon stimulation, active mTORC1 phosphorylates S6K, 4E‐BP1, and TFEB. In response to starvation, mTORC1 is inactive. Our data indicate that the RRAGD p.(Ser76Leu) variant maintains the phosphorylation of mTORC1 targets during starvation in T‐REx HeLa cells.

The Negative Impact of a Non-Therapeutic Laparotomy in Patients With Inoperable Colorectal Peritoneal Metastases. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background The peritoneum is the third most prevalent location for metastases of colorectal cancer. In patients with resectable disease, cytoreductive surgery combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS‐HIPEC) is the preferred treatment in the Netherlands, achieving median overall survival (OS) of 36–42 months. However, during

Simulation Framework to Investigate Efficacy and Ocular Safety of Belantamab Mafodotin Combinations in Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Quantitative modeling can guide drug development and regulatory decisions by providing insights into pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, efficacy, and safety. Integrating models allows simulations that support dosing considerations. A simulation framework for belantamab mafodotin (B) in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma was developed using ...

Single-Molecule Imaging and Spectroscopy Enables Quantification of Location-Dependent Light-Matter Interactions on Nanoantennas. [PDF]
The fluorescence intensity as well as the spectral shape of the emission of single dye molecules strongly depend on the molecules’ exact position relative to plasmonic nanoparticles in hybrid systems. By point‐spread function modification analysis, the vertical binding location of single fluorophores on gold nanocones is obtained and correlated to both
