Electric fields determine carbapenemase activity in class A β-lactamases

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Beer | Authors: Hira Jabeen, Michael Beer, James Spencer, Marc W van der Kamp, H Adrian Bunzel and Adrian J Mulholland | Summary: MAntimicrobial resistance is a public health crisis. Limited understanding of the catalytic drivers in resistance-mediating enzymes such as β-lactamases hinders our ability to combat this crisis. Here, we dissect […]

Male-male interactions shape mate selection in Drosophila

Kavli Affiliate: Vanessa Ruta | Authors: Tom Hindmarsh Sten, Rufei Li, Florian Hollunder, Shadé Eleazer and Vanessa Ruta | Summary: Males of many species have evolved behavioral traits to both attract females and repel rivals. Here, we explore mate selection in Drosophila from both the male and female perspective to shed light on how these […]

Robust reprogramming of glia into neurons by inhibition of Notch signaling and NFI factors in adult mammalian retina.

Kavli Affiliate: Seth Blackshaw | Authors: Nguyet Le, Trieu-Duc Vu, Isabella Palazzo, Ritvik Pulya, Yehna Kim, Seth Blackshaw and Thanh Hoang | Summary: Neurogenic competence is actively repressed in mature mammalian Muller glial cells, and previous studies have predicted that this is in part mediated by active Notch signaling. To determine whether global loss of […]

Simultaneous multi-transient linear-combination modeling of MRS data improves uncertainty estimation

Kavli Affiliate: Jeremias Sulam | Authors: Helge J Zollner, Christopher B. Davies-Jenkins, Dunja B. Simicic, Assaf Tal, Jeremias Sulam and Georg Oeltzschner | Summary: Purpose: The interest in application and modeling of dynamic MRS has recently grown. Therefore, it is imperative to systematically investigate accuracy, precision, and uncertainty estimation of 2D modeling algorithms. 2D modeling […]

Association cortical areas in the mouse contain a large population of fast-spiking GABAergic neurons that do not express parvalbumin

Kavli Affiliate: Menno Witter and Maximiliano Jose Nigro | Authors: Erik J Courcelles, Kasper Kjelsberg, Laura Convertino, Rajeevkumar Raveendran Nair, Menno P Witter and Maximiliano J Nigro | Summary: GABAergic neurons represent 10-15% of the neuronal population of the cortex but exert a powerful control over information flow in cortical circuits. The largest GABAergic class […]
