flippy: User friendly and open source framework for lipid membrane simulations

Posted by klaurent Delft

Kavli Affiliate: Timon Idema | First 5 Authors: [#item_custom_name[1]], [#item_custom_name[2]], [#item_custom_name[3]], [#item_custom_name[4]], [#item_custom_name[5]] | Summary: Animal cells are both encapsulated and subdivided by lipid bilayer membranes. Beyond just acting as boundaries, these membranes’ shapes influence the function of cells and their compartments. Physically, membranes are two-dimensional fluids with complex elastic behavior, which makes it impossible, […]

Mesoscale volumetric light field (MesoLF) imaging of neuroactivity across cortical areas at 18 Hz

Posted by klaurent Rockefeller

Kavli Affiliate: Alipasha Vaziri | Authors: Tobias Nöbauer, Yuanlong Zhang, Hyewon Kim and Alipasha Vaziri | Summary: Various implementations of mesoscopes provide optical access for calcium imaging across multi-millimeter fields-of-view (FOV) in the mammalian brain. However, capturing the activity of the neuronal population within such FOVs near-simultaneously and in a volumetric fashion has remained challenging […]

Quasiparticle and Optical Properties of Carrier-Doped Monolayer MoTe$_2$ from First Principles

Posted by klaurent Berkeley

Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey B. Neaton | First 5 Authors: Aurelie Champagne, Jonah B. Haber, Supavit Pokawanvit, Diana Y. Qiu, Souvik Biswas | Summary: The intrinsic weak and highly non-local dielectric screening of two-dimensional materials is well known to lead to high sensitivity of their optoelectronic properties to environment. Less studied theoretically is the role of […]

Comparison of Polarized Radiative Transfer Codes used by the EHT Collaboration

Posted by klaurent Chicago

Kavli Affiliate: Bradford A. Benson | First 5 Authors: Ben S. Prather, Jason Dexter, Monika Moscibrodzka, Hung-Yi Pu, Thomas Bronzwaer | Summary: Interpretation of resolved polarized images of black holes by the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) requires predictions of the polarized emission observable by an Earth-based instrument for a particular model of the black hole […]

Broadband X-ray timing and spectral characteristics of the accretion-powered millisecond X-ray pulsar MAXI J1816$-$195

Posted by klaurent Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Renxin Xu | First 5 Authors: Zhaosheng Li, Lucien Kuiper, Mingyu Ge, Maurizio Falanga, Juri Poutanen | Summary: We studied the broadband X-ray timing and spectral behaviors of the newly confirmed accreting millisecond X-ray pulsar MAXI J1816$-$195 during its 2022 outburst. We used the data from Insight-HXMT ME/HE, NICER and NuSTAR which cover […]

Comparative landscape of genetic dependencies in human and chimpanzee stem cells

Posted by klaurent UCSF

Kavli Affiliate: Alex Pollen | Authors: Richard She, Tyler Fair, Nathan K. Schaefer, Reuben A. Saunders, Bryan J Pavlovic, Jonathan S. Weissman and Alex A. Pollen | Summary: Comparative studies of great apes provide a window into our evolutionary past, but the extent and identity of cellular differences that emerged during hominin evolution remain largely […]

Noninvasive in vivo photoacoustic measurement of internal jugular venous oxygenation in humans

Posted by klaurent Caltech

Kavli Affiliate: Lihong V. Wang | Authors: Alejandro Garcia-Uribe, Todd N. Erpelding, Haixin Ke, Kavya Narayana Reddy, Anshuman Sharma, Lihong V. Wang | Summary: In many clinical conditions, such as head trauma, stroke, and low cardiac output states, the brain is at risk for hypoxic-ischemic injury. The metabolic rate and oxygen consumption of the brain […]

Defective callosal termination underlies the long-term behavioral deficits in NMDA receptor antibody encephalitis mouse model

Posted by klaurent UCSF

Kavli Affiliate: Samuel Pleasure | Authors: Jing Zhou, Ariele Greenfield, Rita Loudermilk, Christopher Bartley, Baouyen Tran, Chao Zhao, Hong Wang, Michael Wilson and Samuel Pleasure | Summary: NMDA receptor antibody encephalitis (NMDAR-AE) is characterized by cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)-resident anti-NMDA receptor autoantibodies that cause a wide range of neurological manifestations. Although many symptoms are responsive to […]
