Kavli Affiliate: Timothy A. Ryan, Timothy Brown | Authors: Ryan J Farrell, Kirsten G Bredvik, Michael Blake Hoppa, S Thomas Hennegan, Timothy A Brown and Timothy A Ryan | Summary: The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is an important regulator of Ca2+ in cells and dysregulation of ER calcium homeostasis can lead to numerous pathologies. Understanding how […]
Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Zongyu Wu, Hongcheng Gao, Yueze Wang, Xiang Zhang, Suhang Wang | Summary: Text-to-Image (T2I) models have shown great performance in generating images based on textual prompts. However, these models are vulnerable to unsafe input to generate unsafe content like sexual, harassment and illegal-activity images. Existing studies based […]
Kavli Affiliate: Lars Bildsten | First 5 Authors: Logan J. Prust, Hila Glanz, Lars Bildsten, Hagai B. Perets, Friedrich K. Roepke | Summary: We carry out three-dimensional computations of the accretion rate onto an object (of size $R_{rm sink}$ and mass $m$) as it moves through a uniform medium at a subsonic speed $v_{infty}$. The […]

Kavli Affiliate: Michael W. Young | Authors: Waruna Thotamune, Sithurandi Ubeysinghe, Kendra Kumar Shrestha, Mahmoud Elhusse Mostafa, Michael C Young and Ajith Karunarathne | Summary: Beta-adrenergic receptors (βARs) are G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) that mediate catecholamine-induced stress responses, such as heart rate increase and bronchodilation. In addition to signals from the cell surface, βARs also […]
Kavli Affiliate: Dheeraj R. Pasham | First 5 Authors: Dheeraj R. Pasham, Eric R. Coughlin, Michal Zajacek, Itai Linial, Petra Sukova | Summary: Quasi-periodic Eruptions (QPEs) represent a novel class of extragalactic X-ray transients that are known to repeat at roughly regular intervals of a few hours to days. Their underlying physical mechanism is a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Dheeraj R. Pasham | First 5 Authors: Dheeraj R. Pasham, Michal Zajacek, C. J. Nixon, Eric R. Coughlin, Marzena Sniegowska | Summary: An accretion disk formed around a supermassive black hole (SMBH) after it disrupts a star is expected to be initially misaligned with respect to the black hole’s equatorial plane. This misalignment […]
Kavli Affiliate: Daniel Kronauer | Authors: Taylor Hart, Lindsey E. Lopes, Dominic D. Frank and Daniel J.C. Kronauer | Summary: While the neural basis of age-related decline has been extensively studied (1–3), less is known about changes in neural function during the pre-senescent stages of adulthood. Adult neural plasticity is likely a key factor in […]
Kavli Affiliate: Joseph Falson | First 5 Authors: Adrian Llanos, Giovanna Campisi, Veronica Show, Jinwoong Kim, Reiley Dorrian | Summary: Rare-earth diantimondes exhibit coupling between structural and electronic orders which are tunable under pressure and temperature. Here we present the discovery of a new polymorph of LaSb$_2$ stabilized in thin films synthesized using molecular beam […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi W. Masui | First 5 Authors: Ryan Mckinven, Mohit Bhardwaj, Tarraneh Eftekhari, Charles D. Kilpatrick, Aida Kirichenko | Summary: Fast radio bursts (FRBs) last for milliseconds and arrive at Earth from cosmological distances. While their origin(s) and emission mechanism(s) are presently unknown, their signals bear similarities with the much less luminous radio […]
