Kavli Affiliate: Marina Picciotto | Authors: Paul Jongseo Lee, Alexa R Soares, Yu Sun, Caroline Fai, Marina Picciotto and Junjie U Guo | Summary: While previous studies suggest that many mRNAs contain more than one translation initiation site (TIS), the biological significance of most alternative TISs and their corresponding protein isoforms (proteoforms) remains undetermined. Here […]

Kavli Affiliate: Michael W. Young | Authors: Waruna Thotamune, Sithurandi Ubeysinghe, Kendra Kumar Shrestha, Mahmoud Elhusse Mostafa, Michael C Young and Ajith Karunarathne | Summary: Beta-adrenergic receptors (βARs) are G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) that mediate catecholamine-induced stress responses, such as heart rate increase and bronchodilation. In addition to signals from the cell surface, βARs also […]
Kavli Affiliate: Daniel Kronauer | Authors: Taylor Hart, Lindsey E. Lopes, Dominic D. Frank and Daniel J.C. Kronauer | Summary: While the neural basis of age-related decline has been extensively studied (1–3), less is known about changes in neural function during the pre-senescent stages of adulthood. Adult neural plasticity is likely a key factor in […]
Kavli Affiliate: David Linden | Authors: Jessie Benedict, Robert H. Cudmore, David J. Linden, Diarra Oden and Aleah Spruell | Summary: Mammalian parenting is an unusually demanding commitment. How did evolution co-opt the reward system to ensure parental care? Previous work has implicated the lateral habenula (LHb), an epithalamic nucleus, as a potential intersection of […]
