The alarm pheromone and alarm response of the clonal raider ant

Kavli Affiliate: Daniel Kronauer | Authors: Lindsey E. Lopes, Erik T. Frank, Zsolt Kárpáti, Thomas Schmitt and Daniel J.C. Kronauer | Summary: Abstract Ants communicate via an arsenal of different pheromones produced in a variety of exocrine glands. For example, ants release alarm pheromones in response to danger to alert their nestmates and to trigger […]

Microbial symbionts are shared between ants and their associated beetles

Kavli Affiliate: Daniel Kronauer | Authors: Catalina Valdivia, Justin A. Newton, Sean O’Donnell, Christoph von Beeren, Daniel J. C Kronauer, Jacob A Russell and Piotr Lukasik | Summary: Abstract The transmission of microbial symbionts across individuals and generations can be critical for animal development and survival. Likewise, the transmission of microbes across closely interacting species […]

Multiplexed and scalable cellular phenotyping toward the standardized three-dimensional human neuroanatomy

Kavli Affiliate: Nathaniel Heintz | Authors: Tatsuya C. Murakami and Nathaniel Heintz | Summary: Abstract The advent of three-dimensional histological methods has advanced studies of cellular-resolution anatomy of the brain. The use of whole-mount staining and tissue clearing has advanced systems-level identification of cells underlying brain functions in mouse models. However, application of these methods […]

Multiplexed selectivity screening of anti-GPCR antibodies

Kavli Affiliate: Thomas P. Sakmar | Authors: Leo Dahl, Ilana Kotliar, Annika Bendes, Tea Dodig-Crnkovic, Samuel Fromm, Arne Elofsson, Mathias Uhlen, Thomas P Sakmar and Jochen Schwenk | Summary: Abstract G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) control critical cellular signaling pathways. Therapeutic agents, such as antibodies (Abs), are being developed to modulate GPCR signaling pathways. However, validating […]

Converting an allocentric goal into an egocentric steering signal

Kavli Affiliate: Gaby Maimon | Authors: Peter Mussells Pires, L F Abbott and Gaby Maimon | Summary: Abstract Neuronal signals relevant for spatial navigation have been described in many species[1-12], however, a circuit-level understanding of how such signals interact to guide behaviour is lacking. Here we characterize a neuronal circuit in the Drosophila central complex […]

Human FcγRIIIa activation on splenic macrophages drives the in vivo pathogenesis of dengue disease

Kavli Affiliate: Charles Rice | Authors: Rachel Yamin, Kevin S Kao, Margaret R MacDonald, Tineke Cantaert, Charles M Rice, Jeffrey V Ravetch and Stylianos Bournazos | Summary: Abstract Although dengue virus (DENV) infection typically causes asymptomatic disease, DENV-infected patients can experience severe complications. A risk factor for symptomatic disease is pre-existing anti-DENV IgG antibodies. Cellular […]

Identification of dendritic cell-T cell interactions driving immune responses to food

Kavli Affiliate: Daniel S. Mucida | Authors: Maria Cecilia C. Canesso, Tiago Bruno Castro, Sandra Nakandakari-Higa, Ainsley Lockhart, Daria Esterhazy, Bernardo Sgarbi Reis, Gabriel D Victora and Daniel Mucida | Summary: Abstract The intestinal immune system must concomitantly tolerate food and commensals and protect against pathogens. Dendritic cells (DCs) orchestrate these immune responses by presenting […]
