Generative network modeling reveals quantitative definitions of bilateral symmetry exhibited by a whole insect brain connectome

Kavli Affiliate: Carey Priebe, Joshua Vogelstein | Authors: Benjamin D. Pedigo, Mike Powell, Eric W. Bridgeford, Michael Winding, Carey E. Priebe and Joshua T. Vogelstein | Summary: Abstract Comparing connectomes can help explain how neural connectivity is related to genetics, disease, development, learning, and behavior. However, making statistical inferences about the significance and nature of […]

Tumor proliferation and invasion are coupled through cell-extracellular matrix friction

Kavli Affiliate: Denis Wirtz | Authors: Ashleigh J. Crawford, Clara Gomez-Cruz, Gabriella C. Russo, Wilson Huang, Isha Bhorkar, Arrate Munoz-Barrutia, Denis Wirtz and Daniel Garcia-Gonzalez | Summary: Abstract Cell proliferation and invasion are two key drivers of tumor progression and are traditionally considered two independent cellular processes regulated by distinct pathways. Through in vitro and […]

Tautomer-specific deacylation and Ω-loop flexibility explain carbapenem-hydrolyzing, broad-spectrum activity of the KPC-2 β-lactamase

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Beer | Authors: Catherine L Tooke, Philip Hinchliffe, Michael Beer, Kirill Zinovjev, Charlie K Colenso, Christopher J Schofield, Adrian J Mulholland and James Spencer | Summary: Abstract KPC-2 (Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase-2) is a globally disseminated serine-β-lactamase (SBL) responsible for extensive β-lactam antibiotic resistance in Gram-negative pathogens. SBLs inactivate β-lactams via a mechanism […]

Preservation of prehearing spontaneous activity enables early auditory system development in deaf mice

Kavli Affiliate: Dwight Bergles, Patrick Kanold | Authors: Calvin J Kersbergen, Travis A Babola, Patrick O Kanold and Dwight E Bergles | Summary: ABSTRACT Intrinsically generated neural activity propagates through the developing auditory system to promote maturation and refinement of sound processing circuits prior to hearing onset. This early patterned activity is induced by non-sensory […]
