Kavli Affiliate: Ann McDermott | Authors: Ann E McDermott and Gary Stanley Howarth II | Summary: The structure of the transmembrane domain of bacterial potassium channel KcsA has been extensively characterized, yet little information is available on the structure of its cytosolic N- and C-termini. This study presents high-resolution magic angle spinning (HR-MAS) and fractional […]
Kavli Affiliate: Roderick MacKinnon | Authors: Christoph A. Haselwandter, Roderick MacKinnon, Yusong Guo and Ziao Fu | Summary: Piezo proteins are mechanosensitive ion channels that can locally curve the membrane into a dome shape (Y. R. Guo, R. MacKinnon, 2017). The curved shape of the Piezo dome is expected to deform the surrounding lipid bilayer […]

Kavli Affiliate: John Reynolds | Authors: Jerome Mathieu, John Warren Reynolds, Carlos Fragoso and Elizabeth Hadly | Summary: Human activities cause major ecological changes by reshuffling the spatial distribution of species. The extent to which this process affects belowground biota is a critical issue because soil organisms play a key role in ecosystem functioning and […]

Kavli Affiliate: Loyal Goff | Authors: Shijie C. Zheng, Genevieve Stein-O’Brien, Leandros Boukas, Loyal A Goff and Kasper D Hansen | Summary: RNA velocity analysis of single cells promises to predict temporal dynamics from gene expression. Indeed, in many systems, it has been observed that RNA velocity produces a vector field that qualitatively reflects known […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kenneth Miller | Authors: Shen Wang, Agostina Palmigiano, Kenneth D Miller and Stephen David Van Hooser | Summary: Cross-orientation suppression is a classic form of contextual normalization in visual cortex, yet the degree to which cortical circuits participate in the normalization computation is unclear. We visualized orientation maps of individual ferrets, and provided […]
Kavli Affiliate: Eric Halgren | Authors: Charles W Dickey, Ilya A Verzhbinsky, Xi Jiang, Burke Q Rosen, Sophie Kajfez, Emad N Eskandar, Jorge Gonzalez-Martinez, Sydney S Cash and Eric Halgren | Summary: Hippocampal ripples index the reconstruction of spatiotemporal neuronal firing patterns essential for the consolidation of memories in the cortex during non-rapid eye movement […]
