Kavli Affiliate: Andreas Andreou | Authors: Elif Gediz Kocaoglan, Andreas Andreou, Jessica Nirkko, Marisol Ochoa-Villarreal, Gary Loake and Naomi Nakayama | Summary: Plants are the primary biological platforms for producing food, energy, and materials in agriculture; however, they remain a minor player in the recent synthetic biology-driven transformation in bioproduction. Molecular tools and technologies for […]

Kavli Affiliate: Dwight Bergles | Authors: Christa Whelan Habela, Shiyu Liu, Arens Taga, Raha Dastgheyb, Norman Haughey, Dwight E Bergles, Hongjun Song, Guo-Li Ming and Nicholas J. Maragakis | Summary: The chromosome 15q11.2 locus is deleted in 1.5% of patients with genetic epilepsy and confers a risk for intellectual disability and schizophrenia. Individuals with this […]

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Miller | Authors: Niklas Krick, Jacob Davies, Bramwell Coulson, Daniel Sobrido-Camean, Michael Miller, Matthew C.W. Oswald, Aref Arzan Zarin, Richard Baines and Matthias Landgraf | Summary: As developing neural circuits become functional, they undergo a phase of heightened plasticity in response to intrinsic and/or extrinsic stimuli. These developmental windows are termed critical […]

Kavli Affiliate: Jean Fan | Authors: Rafael dos Santos Peixoto, Brendan F Miller, Maigan A Brusko, Gohta Aihara, Lyla Atta, Manjari Anant, Mark A Atkinson, Todd M Brusko, Clive H Wasserfall and Jean Fan | Summary: Spatially resolved omics (SRO) technologies enable the identification of cell types while preserving their organization within tissues. Application of […]

Kavli Affiliate: Keri Martinowich | Authors: Ye Li, Thomas van Kralingen, Megan Masi, Brandon Villaneuva Sanchez, Beyonca Mitchell, Joshua Johnson, Jorge Miranda-Barrientos, Jason J Rehg, Keri Martinowich and Gregory V Carr | Summary: Attention deficits, a hallmark of many neuropsychiatric disorders, significantly impair quality of life and functional outcome for patients. Continuous Performance Tests (CPTs) […]

Kavli Affiliate: Dwight Bergles | Authors: Yu Kang T Xu, Abigail Bush, Ephraim Musheyev, Anya A Kim, Sen Zhang, Jaime Eugenin von Bernhardi, Jeremias Sulam and Dwight E Bergles | Summary: Insulating sheaths of myelin accelerate neuronal signaling in complex networks of the mammalian brain. In the CNS, myelin sheaths are exclusively produced by oligodendrocytes, […]

Kale, Samuel J. Kaplan, Michael A. Beer, Simone Sidoli and Danwei Huangfu | Summary: Pluripotent stem cells are defined by their self-renewal capacity, […]

Kavli Affiliate: Martin Lindquist | Authors: Farzad V. Farahani, Mary Beth Nebel, Tor Wager and Martin A. Lindquist | Summary: Recent gains in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies have been driven by increasingly sophisticated statistical and computational techniques and the ability to capture brain data at finer spatial and temporal resolution. These advances allow […]

Kavli Affiliate: Denis Wirtz | Authors: Yufei Wu, Pei-Hsun Wu, Allison Chambliss, Denis Wirtz and Sean Sun | Summary: Summary: Biological systems are complex networks involving tens of thousands of interacting molecular components, and measurable biological functions are emerging properties of these complex networks. Many quantitative studies in biology attempt to connect biological function with […]
