Overlapping functions of argonaute proteins in patterning and morphogenesis of Drosophila embryos. by Wibke J Meyer, Silke Schreiber, Yi Guo, Thorsten Volkmann, Michael A Welte, H Arno J Müller

“…These defects do not appear to result from disruption of siRNA-dependent processes but rather suggest an interference of the mutant Ago2 proteins in an Ago1-dependent pathway. Using loss-of-function alleles, we further demonstrate that Ago1 and Ago2 act in a partially redundant manner to control the expression of the segment-polarity gene wingless in the early embryo. …”

Relativistic Linear Response in Quantum-Electrodynamical Density Functional Theory by Lukas Konecny, Valeriia P. Kosheleva, Heiko Appel, Michael Ruggenthaler, Angel Rubio

“…We present the theoretical derivation and numerical implementation of the linear-response equations for relativistic quantum-electrodynamical density functional theory (QEDFT). In contrast to previous works based on the Pauli-Fierz Hamiltonian, our approach describes electrons interacting with photonic cavity modes at the four-component Dirac-Kohn-Sham level, derived from fully relativistic QED through a series of established approximations. …”
