Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey Friedman | Authors: Mihwa Choi, Marc Schneeberger, Wei Fan, Abhijit Bugde, Laurent Gautron, Kevin Vale, Yuan Zhang, Jeffrey M. Friedman, David J. Mangelsdorf and Steven A. Kliewer | Summary: SUMMARY Animals that consume fermenting fruit or nectar are exposed to ethanol, thus increasing their risk of injury or predation. This risk is […]
Kavli Affiliate: Roderick MacKinnon | Authors: George Vaisey, Priyam Banerjee, Alison J North, Christoph A Haselwandter and Roderick MacKinnon | Summary: Summary Piezo1 is the stretch activated Ca2+ channel in red blood cells that mediates homeostatic volume control. Here we study the organization of Piezo1 in red blood cells using a combination of super resolution […]
Kavli Affiliate: Li Zhao | Authors: Samuel Khodursky, Caroline S Jiang, Eric B Zheng, Roger Vaughan, Daniel R Schrider and Li Zhao | Summary: Abstract Understanding phenotypic sex differences has long been a goal of biology from both a medical and evolutionary perspective. Although much attention has been paid to mean differences in phenotype between […]
Kavli Affiliate: Winrich Freiwald | Authors: Zetian Yang and Winrich A. Freiwald | Summary: Abstract Faces in motion reveal a plethora of information through visual dynamics. Faces can move in complex patterns while transforming facial shape, e.g. during the generation of different emotional expressions. While motion and shape processing have been studied extensively in separate […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael Young | Authors: Michael N Young, Michael J Sindoni, Amanda H Lewis, Stefan Zauscher and Jorg Grandl | Summary: Cells throughout the human body detect mechanical forces. While it is known that the rapid (millisecond) detection of mechanical forces is mediated by force-gated ion channels, a detailed quantitative understanding of cells as […]

Kavli Affiliate: Jean Laurent Casanova | Authors: Gaspard Kerner, Anna-Lena Neehus, Laurent Abel, Jean-Laurent Casanova, Etienne Patin, Guillaume Laval and Lluis Quintana-Murci | Summary: Ancient genomics can directly detect human genetic adaptation to environmental cues. However, it remains unclear how pathogens have exerted selective pressures on human genome diversity across different epochs and affected present-day […]
Kavli Affiliate: Erich Jarvis | Authors: Gregory L Gedman, Matthew T Biegler, Bettina Haase, Morgan Wirthlin, Olivier Fedrigo, Andreas R Pfenning and Erich D Jarvis | Summary: Vocal learning is a skilled motor behavior observed in several mammalian and avian species and is critical for human speech. While convergent gene expression patterns have highlighted similar […]
