Eosinophil-epithelial interactions mediate protective intestinal remodeling during food allergy

Kavli Affiliate: Daniel Mucida | Authors: Patrick W Darcy, Vitoria M Olyntho, Albana Kodra, Zachary Kerner, Maria C.C. Canesso, Sandra Nakandakari-Higa, Gabriel Victora and Daniel Mucida | Summary: Food allergies are associated with progressive gastrointestinal symptoms driven by exacerbated mucosal type-2 immunity. Here, we investigated whether cellular interactions between the gut epithelium and innate immune […]

A flow cytometry-based assay to quantify the binding of transmembrane ligands to their cognate receptors using fluorescent virus-like particles

Kavli Affiliate: Jean-Laurent Casanova | Authors: Colin Kim, Maira Gaballa, Danyel Lee, Emmanuelle Jouanguy, Shen-Ying Zhang, Jean-Laurent Casanova and Ahmad Yatim | Summary: The binding of transmembrane (TM) ligands to their cognate TM receptors on neighboring cells governs intercellular adhesion and direct cell–cell communication. However, these interactions are difficult to study in vitro because they […]

Notch-driven fate asymmetry dictates hair cell behavior via a fate-specific kinase

Kavli Affiliate: A. James Hudspeth | Authors: Emily Atlas, Caleb C. Reagor, Brian Frost, Sapna Krishnakumar, A. J. Hudspeth and Adrian Jacobo | Summary: Cell-cell signaling and cell-fate decisions are essential for organ assembly, but how these molecular events translate into the physical properties and cell behaviors that drive development remains poorly understood. In the […]

Fixed human pangenome sequences reveal origins of common human traits

Kavli Affiliate: Erich Jarvis | Authors: Chern-sing Goh, Matthew Davenport, Chul Lee and Erich Jarvis | Summary: Humans possess human-specific traits1,2 such as spoken language and lineage-specific traits such as ape-specific taillessness3,4. Previous efforts to identify the DNA sequences responsible for such human traits were limited by necessary accommodations for poor genome assembly quality and […]

A human specific CCG repeat in the RBFOX1 promoter is implicated in speech and autism

Kavli Affiliate: Erich Jarvis | Authors: Chul Lee, Matthew H Davenport and Erich D Jarvis | Summary: Human speech likely arose from regulatory changes for speech-related brain regions, yet causal variants and mechanisms remain unclear. RBFOX1 is a prime candidate, showing specialized expression in vocal learning circuits of human and zebra finch brains and carrying […]
