Human-specific paralogs of SRGAP2 induce neotenic features of microglia structural and functional maturation

Posted by dbos Columbia

Kavli Affiliate: Franck Polleux | Authors: Carlos Diaz-Salazar, Marine A KRZISCH, Juyoun Yoo, Patricia Nano, Aparna Bhaduri, Rudolph Jaenisch and Franck Polleux | Summary: Microglia play key roles in shaping synaptic connectivity during neural circuits development. Whether microglia display human-specific features of structural and functional maturation is currently unknown. We show that the ancestral gene […]

$mathbb{Z}_4$ transitions in quantum loop models on a zig-zag ladder

Posted by dbos Delft

Kavli Affiliate: Natalia Chepiga | First 5 Authors: Bowy M. La Rivière, Natalia Chepiga, , , | Summary: We study the nature of quantum phase transitions out of $mathbb{Z}_4$ ordered phases in quantum loop models on a zig-zag ladder. We report very rich critical behaviour that includes a pair of Ising transitions, a multi-critical Ashkin-Teller […]
