Kavli Affiliate: Robert Edwards | Authors: Ryan Cook, Andrea Telatin, George Bouras, Antonio Pedro Camargo, Martin Larralde, Robert A Edwards and Evelien M Adriaenssens | Summary: The majority of bacteriophage diversity remains uncharacterised, and new intriguing mechanisms of their biology are being continually described. Members of some phage lineages, such as the Crassvirales, repurpose stop […]
Kavli Affiliate: Timothy A. Ryan and Pietro De Camilli | Authors: Mukesh Kumar, Yumei Wu, Justin Knapp, Daehun Park, Kallol Gupta, Pietro De Camilli and Timothy A. Ryan | Summary: HSP54, a hereditary spastic paraplegia associated with cognitive impairment, is caused by mutations in the neuron-specific triglyceride (TG) lipase DDHD2. Loss of DDHD2 function results […]

Hogg, Caroline Webster, Xiaoyu Zhang, Jahan Rahman, Bruno Melillo, Benjamin F. Cravatt, Jiankun Lyu, Omar Abdel-Wahab and Ekaterina V Vinogradova | Summary: Despite significant interest in therapeutic targeting of splicing, few chemical probes […]
Kavli Affiliate: Shawn Ferguson | Authors: Gabriel Talaia, Amanda Bentley-DeSousa and Shawn Ferguson | Summary: Lysosomes play a pivotal role in coordinating macromolecule degradation and regulating cell growth and metabolism. Despite substantial progress in identifying lysosomal signaling proteins, understanding the pathways that synchronize lysosome functions with changing cellular demands remains incomplete. This study uncovers a […]
Kavli Affiliate: V. S. Ramachandran | Authors: B.R. Ansil, Ashwin Viswanathan, Vivek Ramachandran, H.M. Yeshwanth, Avirup Sanyal and Uma Ramakrishnan | Summary: Small mammals and their ectoparasites present a unique system to investigate the eco-epidemiology of multi-host vector-borne pathogens and identify specific bacterial spillover determinants. We applied ecological and evolutionary analyses in a rainforest-human-use mosaic […]
Kavli Affiliate: John Reynolds | Authors: Nicholas M Dotson, Zachary W Davis, Patrick Jendritza and John H Reynolds | Summary: High-density linear probes, like Neuropixels, provide an unprecedented opportunity to understand how neural populations within specific laminar compartments contribute to behavior. Marmoset monkeys, unlike macaque monkeys, have a lissencephalic (smooth) cortex that enables recording perpendicular […]
Kavli Affiliate: Reza Shadmehr | Authors: Jihoon Jang, Reza Shadmehr and Scott T Albert | Summary: Sensorimotor adaptation is traditionally studied in well-controlled laboratory settings with specialized equipment. However, recent public health concerns such as the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as a desire to recruit a more diverse study population, have led the motor control […]
Kavli Affiliate: Maryam Ziaei | Authors: Shuer Ye, Leona Rahel Batz, Jain Jain, Alireza Salami and Maryam Ziaei | Summary: Sharing others’ emotional states may facilitate the understanding of their well-being characteristics, such as resilience. Despite increasing attention given to resilience for its role in maintaining mental health, the intricacies of its underlying neural correlates […]
Kavli Affiliate: Philip Starr | Authors: Colin W Hoy, Coralie de Hemptinne, Sarah S Wang, Catherine J Harmer, Matthew A J Apps, Masud Husain, Philip A Starr and Simon Little | Summary: Choosing whether to exert effort to obtain rewards is fundamental to human motivated behavior. However, the neural dynamics underlying the evaluation of reward […]
