Mycorrhizal networks: des liaisons dangereuses?

Mycorrhizal associations, by which most land plants receive mineral nutrition, are diffuse and often non-specific. A common mycorrhizal network is formed when fungal mycelia colonize and link together the roots of two or more plants, sometimes of different species. Here, we discuss recent work showing how, under realistic ecological conditions, such networks can affect the physiology and ecolog...

Rational Choice in Love

I WANT TO FOCUS ON A SINGLE WORK OF LITERATURE. It is not directly concerned with war among states, though its author, Choderlos de Laclos, was in fact a soldier, an artillery officer, and an expert in fortifications. It deals with other kinds of war. My goal today is to consider the place of reason—of rational choice in the commonsense version of this term—and, specifically, of rational choice...

The endothelin system in pulmonary and renal vasculopathy: les liaisons dangereuses.

Endothelial cells regulate vascular tone largely by the actions of endothelin-1. Endothelin-1 is a potent vasoconstrictor, with effects that are dependent on the receptors to which it binds as well as their location. Endothelin-1 dysregulation is implicated in pathological conditions, including those of the pulmonary vasculature and the kidney. In this review, we describe the physiology and act...
