Kavli Affiliate: Simon Ball | Authors: Luke T Slater, John A Williams, Paul N Schofield, Sophie Russell, Samantha C Pendleton, Andreas Karwath, Hilary Fanning, Simon Ball, Robert T Hoehndorf and Georgios V Gkoutos | Summary: Abstract Background Annotation of biomedical entities with ontology terms facilitates the use of background knowledge in analysis. Described entities may […]
Kavli Affiliate: Pietro DeCamilli | Authors: Daehun Park, Yumei Wu, Aaron Baublis and Pietro De Camilli | Summary: Ectopic expression in fibroblasts of synapsin 1 and synaptophysin is sufficient to generate condensates of vesicles highly reminiscent of synaptic vesicle (SV) clusters and with liquid-like properties. We show that unlike synaptophysin, other major integral SV membrane […]
Kavli Affiliate: James Knierim | Authors: Manu S Madhav, Ravikrishnan P Jayakumar, Brian Y Li, Francesco Savelli, James J Knierim and Noah J Cowan | Summary: Understanding the interplay between sensory input, endogenous neural dynamics, and behavioral output is key toward understanding the principles of neural computation. Hippocampal place cells are an ideal system to […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael Crair | Authors: David O’Connor, Francesca Mandino, Xilin Shen, Corey Horien, Xinxin Ge, Peter Herman, Michael Crair, Xenophon Papademetris, Evelyn MR Lake and Robert Todd Constable | Summary: To improve bench-to-bedside translation, it is integral that knowledge flow bidirectionally from – animal models to humans, and vice versa. This will be facilitated […]

Kavli Affiliate: Nathaniel Sawtell | Authors: Avner Wallach and Nathaniel B Sawtell | Summary: Nervous systems are hypothesized to learn and store internal models that predict the sensory consequences of motor actions. However, little is known about the neural mechanisms for generating accurate predictions under real-world conditions in which the sensory consequences of action depend […]
Kavli Affiliate: Peter Walter | Authors: Advait Subramanian, Lan Wang, Tom Moss, Mark Voorhies, Smriti Sangwan, Erica Stevenson, Ernst H Pulido, Samentha Kwok, Nevan J Krogan, Danielle L Swaney, Stephen N Floor, Anita Sil, Peter Walter and Shaeri Mukherjee | Summary: Pathogens often secrete proteins or nucleic acids that mimic the structure and/or function of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Costa, Rui | Authors: Claire L Warriner, Samaher Fageiry, Shreya Saxena, Rui M Costa and Andrew Miri | Summary: During limb movement, spinal circuits facilitate the alternating activation of antagonistic flexor and extensor muscles. Yet antagonist cocontraction is often required to stabilize joints, like when loads are handled. Previous results suggest that these […]

Du Bois and Daniel L. Minor, Jr. | Summary: American bullfrog (Rana castesbeiana) saxiphilin (RcSxph) is a high-affinity ‘toxin sponge’ protein thought to prevent intoxication by saxitoxin (STX), a lethal […]
Kavli Affiliate: V. S. Ramachandran | Authors: Vignesh Ramachandran, Gregory Hatlestad and Travis White | Summary: Background: One way single-celled eukaryotes respond to DNA damage stress is by modifying their gene expression, facilitating genomic repair. Gene expression responses to DNA damage induced by methyl methanesulfonate (MMS) have been studied in the model organism Saccharomyces cerevisiae. […]
