Piezo1 as a force-through-membrane sensor in red blood cells.

Kavli Affiliate: Roderick MacKinnon | Authors: George Vaisey, Priyam Banerjee, Alison J North, Christoph A Haselwandter and Roderick MacKinnon | Summary: Summary Piezo1 is the stretch activated Ca2+ channel in red blood cells that mediates homeostatic volume control. Here we study the organization of Piezo1 in red blood cells using a combination of super resolution […]

The Impact of Population Stratification on the Analysis of Multimodal Neuroimaging Derived Measures

Kavli Affiliate: Wesley Thompson | Authors: Tzu-Hsuan Huang, Chun Chieh Fan, Wesley Thompson and Robert Loughnan | Summary: Abstract Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies of the human brain are now attaining larger sample sizes with more diverse samples. However, population stratification, a key factor driving heterogeneity and confounding of associations, is seldom accounted for in […]

Sex differences in inter-individual gene expression variability across human tissues

Kavli Affiliate: Li Zhao | Authors: Samuel Khodursky, Caroline S Jiang, Eric B Zheng, Roger Vaughan, Daniel R Schrider and Li Zhao | Summary: Abstract Understanding phenotypic sex differences has long been a goal of biology from both a medical and evolutionary perspective. Although much attention has been paid to mean differences in phenotype between […]

Characterization of electroless nickel-phosphorus plating for ultracold-neutron storage

Kavli Affiliate: A. C. Davis | Summary:Electroless nickel plating is an established industrial process that provides a robust and relatively low-cost coating suitable for transporting and storing ultracold neutrons (UCN). Using roughness measurements and UCN-storage experiments we characterized UCN guides made from polished aluminum or stainless-steel tubes plated by several vendors. All electroless nickel platings […]

Evidence for PeV Proton Acceleration from Fermi-LAT Observations of SNR G106.3+2.7

Kavli Affiliate: Eric Charles | First 5 Authors: Ke Fang, Matthew Kerr, Roger Blandford, Henrike Fleischhack, Eric Charles | Summary: The existence of a "knee" at energy ~1 PeV in the cosmic-ray spectrum suggests the presence of Galactic PeV proton accelerators called "PeVatrons". Supernova Remnant (SNR) G106.3+2.7 is a prime candidate for one of these. […]

Orbitofrontal cortex populations are differentially recruited to support actions

Kavli Affiliate: Christina Gremel | Authors: Christian Cazares, Drew C. Schreiner, Mariela Lopez Valencia and Christina M. Gremel | Summary: Summary The ability to use information from one’s prior actions is necessary for decision-making. While Orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) has been hypothesized as key for inferences made using cue and value-related information, whether OFC populations contribute […]
