Drosophila Trus, the orthologue of mammalian PDCD2L, is required for proper cell proliferation, larval developmental timing, and oogenesis

Posted by dbos Columbia

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Goldberg | Authors: Saeko Takada, Bonnie J. Bolkan, MaryJane O’Connor, Michael Goldberg and Michael B. O’Connor | Summary: Toys are us (Trus) is the Drosophila ortholog of mammalian Programmed Cell Death 2-Like (PDCD2L), a protein that has been implicated in ribosome biogenesis, cell cycle regulation, and oncogenesis. In this study, we examined […]

Encoding manifolds constructed from grating responses organize responses to natural scenes in cortical visual areas

Posted by dbos UCSF

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Stryker | Authors: Luciano Dyballa, Greg D Field, Michael P Stryker and Steven W Zucker | Summary: We have created “encoding manifolds” to reveal the overall responses of a brain area to a variety of stimuli. Encoding manifolds organize response properties globally: each point on an encoding manifold is a neuron, and […]

Improving Galaxy Cluster Selection with the Outskirt Stellar Mass of Galaxies

Posted by dbos Stanford

Kavli Affiliate: Eli Rykoff | First 5 Authors: Matthew Kwiecien, Tesla Jeltema, Alexie Leauthaud, Song Huang, Eli Rykoff | Summary: The number density and redshift evolution of optically selected galaxy clusters offer an independent measurement of the amplitude of matter fluctuations, $S_8$. However, recent results have shown that clusters chosen by the redMaPPer algorithm show […]
