Piezo1 as a force-through-membrane sensor in red blood cells.

Kavli Affiliate: Roderick MacKinnon | Authors: George Vaisey, Priyam Banerjee, Alison J North, Christoph A Haselwandter and Roderick MacKinnon | Summary: Summary Piezo1 is the stretch activated Ca2+ channel in red blood cells that mediates homeostatic volume control. Here we study the organization of Piezo1 in red blood cells using a combination of super resolution […]

The Impact of Population Stratification on the Analysis of Multimodal Neuroimaging Derived Measures

Kavli Affiliate: Wesley Thompson | Authors: Tzu-Hsuan Huang, Chun Chieh Fan, Wesley Thompson and Robert Loughnan | Summary: Abstract Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies of the human brain are now attaining larger sample sizes with more diverse samples. However, population stratification, a key factor driving heterogeneity and confounding of associations, is seldom accounted for in […]

Sex differences in inter-individual gene expression variability across human tissues

Kavli Affiliate: Li Zhao | Authors: Samuel Khodursky, Caroline S Jiang, Eric B Zheng, Roger Vaughan, Daniel R Schrider and Li Zhao | Summary: Abstract Understanding phenotypic sex differences has long been a goal of biology from both a medical and evolutionary perspective. Although much attention has been paid to mean differences in phenotype between […]

Orbitofrontal cortex populations are differentially recruited to support actions

Kavli Affiliate: Christina Gremel | Authors: Christian Cazares, Drew C. Schreiner, Mariela Lopez Valencia and Christina M. Gremel | Summary: Summary The ability to use information from one’s prior actions is necessary for decision-making. While Orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) has been hypothesized as key for inferences made using cue and value-related information, whether OFC populations contribute […]

Protein Geometry, Function and Mutation

Kavli Affiliate: Robert Clark | Authors: Robert Clark Penner | Summary: Abstract This survey summarizes several works by the author on protein geometry and protein function with applications to viral glycoproteins in general and the spike glycoprotein of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in particular. Though a certain level of mathematical sophistication is assumed, the background biology […]

Object representation in a gravitational reference frame

Kavli Affiliate: Kristina Nielsen and Charles Connor | Authors: Alexandriya MX Emonds, Ramanujan Srinath, Kristina J Nielsen and Charles E Connor | Summary: ABSTRACT When your head tilts laterally, as in sports, reaching, and resting, your eyes counterrotate less than 20%, and thus eye images rotate, over a total range of about 180°. Yet, the […]

Optogenetic control of RelA reveals effect of transcription factor dynamics on downstream gene expression

Kavli Affiliate: Hana El-Samad | Authors: Lindsey C Osimiri, Alain R Bonny, Seesha R Takagishi, Stefanie Luecke, Nina Riehs, Alexander Hoffmann and Hana El-Samad | Summary: Abstract Many transcription factors (TFs) translocate to the nucleus with varied dynamic patterns in response to different inputs. A notable example of such behavior is RelA, a subunit of […]
