Mammalian D-Cysteine controls insulin secretion in the pancreas

Kavli Affiliate: Solomon Snyder | Authors: Robin Roychaudhuri, Timothy West, Soumyaroop Bhattacharya, Harry Saavedra, Lauren Albacarys, Moataz M Gadalla, Leon Mario Amzel, Peixin Yang and Solomon H. Snyder | Summary: D-amino acids are being recognized in mammals as important molecules with function. This is a first identification of endogenous D-cysteine in mammalian pancreas. D-cysteine is […]

Binarity at LOw Metallicity (BLOeM): a spectroscopic VLT monitoring survey of massive stars in the SMC

Kavli Affiliate: J. S. Villasenor| First 5 Authors: T. Shenar, T. Shenar, , , | Summary:Surveys in the Milky Way and Large Magellanic Cloud revealed that the majority of massive stars will interact with companions during their lives. However, knowledge of the binary properties of massive stars at low metallicity, which approaches the conditions of […]

Universal scaling solution for a rigidity transition: renormalization group flows near the upper critical dimension

Kavli Affiliate: Itai Cohen | Summary:Rigidity transitions induced by the formation of system-spanning disordered rigid clusters, like the jamming transition, can be well-described in most physically relevant dimensions by mean-field theories. A dynamical mean-field theory commonly used to study these transitions, the coherent potential approximation (CPA), shows logarithmic corrections in $2$ dimensions. By solving the […]
