Cilia-mediated cerebrospinal fluid flow modulates neuronal and astroglial activity in the zebrafish larval brain

Kavli Affiliate: Emre Yaksi | Authors: Percival P D’Gama, Inyoung Jeong, Andreas Moe Nygard, Ahmed Jamali, Emre Yaksi and Nathalie Jurisch-Yaksi | Summary: The brain uses a specialized system to transport cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). This system consists of interconnected ventricles lined by ependymal cells, which generate a directional flow upon beating of their motile cilia. […]

Evolutionary conservation of mechanical strain distributions in functional transitions of protein structures

Kavli Affiliate: Stanislas Leibler | Authors: Pablo Sartori and Stanislas Leibler | Summary: One of the tenets of molecular biology is that dynamical transitions between three dimensional structures largely determine the function of individual proteins, as well as multi-protein assemblies. Therefore, it seems only natural that evolutionary analysis of proteins, presently based mainly on their […]

Probing the Sterile Neutrino Dipole Portal with SN1987A and Low-Energy Supernovae

Kavli Affiliate: Shunsaku Horiuchi | First 5 Authors: Garv Chauhan, Shunsaku Horiuchi, Patrick Huber, Ian M. Shoemaker, | Summary: BSM electromagnetic properties of neutrinos may lead to copious production of sterile neutrinos in the hot and dense core of a core-collapse supernova. In this work, we focus on the active-sterile transition magnetic moment portal for […]

Forecast of foreground cleaning strategies for AliCPT-1

Kavli Affiliate: Chao-Lin Kuo | Summary:We report the test results of several independent foreground-cleaning pipelines used in the Ali CMB Polarization Telescope experiment (AliCPT-1), a high-altitude CMB imager in the Northern hemisphere with thousands of detectors dedicated to the search for a primordial CMB polarization $B$-mode signature. Based on simulated data from 4 detector modules […]

High-volume tunable resonator for axion searches above 7 GHz

Kavli Affiliate: Chao-Lin Kuo | Summary:We present results from the first experimental demonstration of a tunable thin-shell axion haloscope. This novel geometry decouples the overall volume of the cavity-based resonator from its resonant frequency, thereby evading the steep sensitivity degradation at high-frequencies. An aluminum $2.6$ L ($41$ $λ^3$) prototype which tunes from $7.1$ to $8.0$ […]
