Cramer, Sophie J.E. (author), Dekker, Janneke (author), Dankelman, J. (author), Pauws, Steffen C. (author), Hooper, Stuart B. (author), te Pas, Arjan B. (author)Apnea of prematurity (AOP) is one of the most common diagnoses in preterm infants. Severe and recurrent apneas are associated with cerebral injury and adverse neurodevelopmental outcome. Despite pharmacotherapy and respiratory support to prevent apneas, a proportion of infants continue to have apneas and often need tactile stimulation, mask,...review 2018

Park, Yongsoo (author), Ryu, J.K. (author)Vesicles in neurons and neuroendocrine cells store neurotransmitters and peptide hormones, which are released by vesicle fusion in response to Ca<sup>2+</sup>-evoking stimuli. Synaptotagmin-1 (Syt1), a Ca<sup>2+</sup> sensor, mediates ultrafast exocytosis in neurons and neuroendocrine cells. After vesicle docking, Syt1 has two main groups of...review 2018

Lammers, Imke (author), Hoppe, T. (author)Due to the liberalisation of the European Union's (EU) electricity sector, stakeholders' roles and responsibilities in local energy planning and implementation are not well-defined in legislation anymore. To investigate what local energy planning and implementation processes look like in the post-liberalisation era we conduct a systematic...review 2018

Casola, Francesco (author), van der Sar, T. (author), Yacoby, A. (author)The magnetic fields generated by spins and currents provide a unique window into the physics of correlated-electron materials and devices. First proposed only a decade ago, magnetometry based on the electron spin of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) defects in diamond is emerging as a platform that is excellently suited for probing condensed matter...review 2018

Rasman, Brandon G. (author), Forbes, P.A. (author), Tisserand, Romain (author), Blouin, Jean Sébastien (author)Standing balance relies on the integration of multiple sensory inputs to generate the motor commands required to stand. Mechanical and sensory perturbations elicit compensatory postural responses that are interpreted as a window into the sensorimotor processing involved in balance control. Popular methods involve imposed external...review 2018

De Ruiter, J. R. (author), Wessels, L.F.A. (author), Jonkers, J. (author)Cancer is a complex disease in which cells progressively accumulate mutations disrupting their cellular processes. A fraction of these mutations drive tumourigenesis by affecting oncogenes or tumour suppressor genes, but many mutations are passengers with no clear contribution to tumour development. The advancement of DNA and RNA sequencing...review 2018

Bogaard, T.A. (author), Greco, R. (author)Many shallow landslides and debris flows are precipitation initiated. Therefore, regional landslide hazard assessment is often based on empirically derived precipitation intensity-duration (ID) thresholds and landslide inventories. Generally, two features of precipitation events are plotted and labeled with (shallow) landslide occurrence or...review 2018
