ELAVL3 regulates splicing of RNAs encoding synaptic signaling proteins in D1 and D2 striatal medium spiny neurons.

Kavli Affiliate: Robert B. Darnell | Authors: Krithi Irmady, Claudia Scheckel, Ruth A Singer, Thomas Carroll and Robert B Darnell | Summary: The neuronal RNA-binding protein (RBP) family nELAVL regulates key neuronal processes by binding directly to target RNA transcripts. In this study, we demonstrate that ELAVL3 is the predominant nELAVL paralog expressed in D1 […]

Quantitative guiding of developmental cell fate transitions using gene-free modelling

Kavli Affiliate: Eric D. Siggia | Authors: Ismail Hajji, Eric D Siggia, Francis Corson and Wolfgang Keil | Summary: During development, cells gradually assume specialized fates via changes of transcriptional dynamics in thousands of genes. Terminal cell identities are then stabilized through the convergence of gene regulatory network dynamics and the accumulation of epigenetic DNA […]

Sex chromosome gene expression associated with vocal learning following hormonal manipulation in female zebra finches

Kavli Affiliate: Erich Jarvis | Authors: Matthew Davenport, Ha Na Choe, Hiroaki Matsunami and Erich D Jarvis | Summary: Zebra finches are sexually dimorphic vocal learners. Males learn to sing by imitating mature conspecifics, but females do not. Absence of song in females is associated with atrophy and apparent repression of several vocal learning brain […]

ybx1 acts upstream of atoh1a to promote the rapid regeneration of hair cells in zebrafish lateral-line neuromasts

Kavli Affiliate: A. James Hudspeth | Authors: Caleb C. Reagor and A. J. Hudspeth | Summary: Like the sensory organs of the human inner ear, the lateral-line neuromasts (NMs) of fish such as the zebrafish (Danio rerio) contain mechanosensory hair cells (HCs) that are surrounded by progenitors called supporting cells. Damaged NMs can quickly regenerate […]

Gut bacteria-derived succinate induces enteric nervous system regeneration

Kavli Affiliate: Daniel Mucida | Authors: Begüm Aydin, Izabela Mamede, Joana Cardoso, Julia Deere, Yelina Alvarez, Shanshan Qiao, Ved P. Sharma, Marissa A. Scavuzzo, Gregory P. Donaldson, Chun-Jun Guo and Daniel Mucida | Summary: Enteric neurons control gut physiology by regulating peristalsis, nutrient absorption, and secretion. Disruptions in microbial communities caused by antibiotics or enteric […]

Quantifying transcriptome turnover on phylogenies by modeling gene expression as a binary trait

Kavli Affiliate: Li Zhao | Authors: Ammon Thompson, Michael R. May, Ben Hopkins, Nerisa Riedl, Olga Barmina, Benjamin J. Liebeskind, Li Zhao, David Begun and Artyom Kopp | Summary: Changes in gene expression are a key driver of phenotypic evolution, leading to a persistent interest in the evolution of transcriptomes. Traditionally, gene expression is modeled […]

Long-Term Effects of Early Adolescent Second-Generation Antipsychotic Exposure on Body Weight, Caloric Intake, and Metabolism-Associated Gene Expression

Kavli Affiliate: Michael W. Young | Authors: Paul Soto, Michael E Young, Serena Nguyen, Megan Federoff, Mia M Goodson, Christopher D Morrison, Heidi Batdorf, Susan Burke and Jason Collier | Summary: The use of second-generation antipsychotic (SGA) medications in pediatric patients raises concerns about potential long-term adverse outcomes. The current study evaluated the long-term effects […]
