Cellular functions are performed by the concerted action of macromolecular assemblies. These protein machines rarely have permanent, invariable structures. Instead, the subunits forming the macromolecular assemblies exchange...
The Nuclear Pore Complex (NPC) mediates nucleo-cytoplasmic transport in all eukaryotes and is among the largest cellular assemblies of proteins, called nucleoporins (nups). The details of NPC architecture, dynamics, and...
The nuclear pore complex (NPC) is the principal gateway between nucleus and cytoplasm that enables exchange of macromolecular cargo. Composed of multiple copies of ~30 different nucleoporins (Nups), the NPC acts as a selective...
In my thesis work, I explored the organization and dynamics of the nuclear pore complex (NPC) through coarse-grained modelling and polarized-total internal reflection fluorescence (pol-TIRF) microscopy. The NPC is a large (~120...
We report on individual-InAs nanowire optoelectronic devices which can be tailored to exhibit either negative or positive photoconductivity (NPC or PPC). The NPC photoresponse time and magnitude is found to be highly tunable by...
The nuclear pore complex (NPC) is a large macromolecular assembly that controls the flow of molecules between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. Elucidating the structure and organization of this complex will be crucial to...
The eukaryotic genome, and its associated proteins, is intricately packaged and sequestered within the boundary of a double membrane, known as the nuclear envelope (NE). Transport across the NE is mediated by large protein...
In Ancient Greek a single set of indefinite enclitic pronouns was used indifferently in both negative/affective environments (i.e. like negative polarity items (NPI)) and in positive ones (i.e. like positive polarity items...
Nucleocytoplasmic transport occurs through the nuclear pore complex (NPC), which in yeast is a highly symmetric ~50 MDa complex consisting of approximately 30 different proteins. Small molecules can freely exchange through the...
Protein import and export into and out of the cell nucleus requires a signal in the protein to be transported. Furthermore, several factors are involved in recognition of the signal, delivery of the protein to the nuclear pore...
Abstract: In mimicry systems, receivers discriminate between the stimuli of models and mimics. Weber's Law of proportional processing states that receiver discrimination is based on proportional, not absolute, differences...
Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) reside in the nuclear membrane and mediate macromolecules exchange between the nucleus and cytoplasm. Although the protein components of NPCs, termed collectively nucleoporin, have been identified...
Mutually beneficial interactions between species play a key role in maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem function. Nevertheless, such mutualisms can erode into antagonistic interactions. One explanation is that the fitness...
To investigate the effect of possible changes to decarbonise the economy, a detailed picture of the current production system is needed. Material/energy flow analysis (MEFA) allows for building such a model. There are, however...

Neural progenitor cell (NPC) transplantation has high therapeutic potential in neurological disorders. Functional restoration may depend on the formation of reciprocal connections between host and graft. While it has been...
In eukaryotic cells the segregation of the genome in a closed organelle requires an efficient mechanism to ensure the constant exchange of material between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) provide the...
Collaboration and diversity are increasingly promoted in science. Yet how collaborations influence academic career progression, and whether this differs by gender, remains largely unknown. Here, we use co-authorship ego networks...
