Microbiota-dependent early life programming of gastrointestinal motility

Kavli Affiliate: David Linden | Authors: Mary E Frith, Purna C Kashyap, David R Linden, Betty Theriault and Eugene B Chang | Summary: Gastrointestinal microbes modulate peristalsis and stimulate the enteric nervous system (ENS), whose development, as in the central nervous system (CNS), continues into the murine postweaning period. Given that adult CNS function depends […]

Electric fields determine carbapenemase activity in class A β-lactamases

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Beer | Authors: Hira Jabeen, Michael Beer, James Spencer, Marc W van der Kamp, H Adrian Bunzel and Adrian J Mulholland | Summary: MAntimicrobial resistance is a public health crisis. Limited understanding of the catalytic drivers in resistance-mediating enzymes such as β-lactamases hinders our ability to combat this crisis. Here, we dissect […]

Robust reprogramming of glia into neurons by inhibition of Notch signaling and NFI factors in adult mammalian retina.

Kavli Affiliate: Seth Blackshaw | Authors: Nguyet Le, Trieu-Duc Vu, Isabella Palazzo, Ritvik Pulya, Yehna Kim, Seth Blackshaw and Thanh Hoang | Summary: Neurogenic competence is actively repressed in mature mammalian Muller glial cells, and previous studies have predicted that this is in part mediated by active Notch signaling. To determine whether global loss of […]
