Formal asymptotic limit of a diffuse-interface tumor-growth model (2015)
Journal Article
Hilhorst, D., Kampmann, J., Nguyen, T. N., & van der Zee, K. (2015). Formal asymptotic limit of a diffuse-interface tumor-growth model. Mathematical Models and Methods in Applied Sciences, 25(6), https://doi.org/10.1142/S0218202515500268

We consider a diffuse-interface tumor-growth model which has the form of a phase-field system. We characterize the singular limit of this problem. More precisely, we formally prove that as the coefficient of the reaction term tends to infinity, the s... Read More about Formal asymptotic limit of a diffuse-interface tumor-growth model.

Eukaryotic elongation factor 2 kinase regulates the cold stress response by slowing translation elongation (2015)
Journal Article

Cells respond to external stress conditions by controlling gene expression, a process which occurs rapidly via post-transcriptional regulation at the level of protein synthesis. Global control of translation is mediated by modification of translation...

A new framework for cortico-striatal plasticity: behavioural theory meets In vitro data at the reinforcement-action interface (2015)
Journal Article
Gurney, K. N., Humphries, M. D., & Redgrave, P. (2015). A new framework for cortico-striatal plasticity: behavioural theory meets In vitro data at the reinforcement-action interface. PLoS Biology, 13(1), Article e1002034. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pbio.1002034

Operant learning requires that reinforcement signals interact with action representations at a suitable neural interface. Much evidence suggests that this occurs when phasic dopamine, acting as a reinforcement prediction error, gates plasticity at co...
