Modelling and analysis of planar cell polarity (2008)
Journal Article
Schamberg, S., Houston, P., Monk, N. A., & Owen, M. R. Modelling and analysis of planar cell polarity. Manuscript submitted for publication

Planar cell polarity (PCP) occurs in the epithelia of many animals and can lead to the alignment of hairs, bristles and feathers; physiologically, it can organise ciliary beating. Here we present two approaches to modelling this phenomenon. The aim i... Read More about Modelling and analysis of planar cell polarity.

This paper replies to Zangwill’s argument that quasi-realists cannot accommodate the conceptual status of claims of moral mind-independence embedded in ordinary moral thought. I argue that this conceptual status is compatible with an ‘internal readin... Read More about Free thinking for expressivists.
