Kavli Affiliate: Charles M. Rice | Authors: Shira Weingarten-Gabbay, Matthew R Bauer, Alexandra C Stanton, Susan Klaeger, Eva K Verzani, Daniel Lopez, Karl R Clauser, Steven A Carr, Jennifer G Abelin, Charles M Rice and Pardis C Sabeti | Summary: Unveiling the complete proteome of viruses is crucial to our understanding of the viral life […]

Kavli Affiliate: Charles M. Rice | Authors: Zakary S. Singer, Jonathan Pabon, Hsinyen Huang, Charles M. Rice and Tal Danino | Summary: The ability of bacteria and viruses to selectively replicate in tumors has led to synthetic engineering of new microbial therapies. Here we design a cooperative strategy whereby S. typhimurium bacteria transcribe and deliver […]

Kavli Affiliate: Charles M. Rice | Authors: Kunihiro Uryu, Nadine Soplop, Timothy P Sheahan, Maria-Teresa Catanese, Chuong Huynh, John Pena, Nancy Boudreau, Irina Matei, Candia Kenific, Ayako Hashimoto, Ayuko Hoshino, Charles M Rice and David Lyden | Summary: Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) offers an unparalleled view of the membrane topography of mammalian cells by using […]

Kavli Affiliate: Winrich Freiwald | Authors: Farid Aboharb, Stephen Serene, Julia Sliwa and Winrich A Freiwald | Summary: In the primate brain the frontal lobes support complex functions, including social cognition. Understanding the functional organization of these regions requires an approach for rich functional characterization. Here we used a novel paradigm, the visual exploration of […]

Kavli Affiliate: Vanessa Ruta | Authors: Rory T Coleman, Ianessa Morantte, Gabriel T Koreman, Megan L Cheng, Yun Ding and Vanessa Ruta | Summary: Identifying a mate is a central imperative for males of most species but poses the challenge of distinguishing a suitable partner from an array of potential male competitors or females of […]

Kavli Affiliate: Alipasha Vaziri, Jeffrey M. Friedman | Authors: Bowen Tan, Caleb J Browne, Tobias Nobauer, Alipasha Vaziri, Jeffrey M. Friedman and Eric J. Nestler | Summary: Addiction prioritizes drug use over innate needs by hijacking brain circuits that direct motivation, but how this develops remains unclear. Using whole-brain FOS mapping and in vivo single-neuron […]

Kavli Affiliate: Cori Bargmann | Authors: Elias Scheer and Cori Bargmann | Summary: Foraging animals optimize feeding decisions by adjusting both common and rare behavioral patterns. Here, we characterize the relationship between an animal’s arousal state and a rare decision to leave a patch of bacterial food. Using long-term tracking and behavioral state classification, we […]

Kavli Affiliate: Roderick MacKinnon | Authors: Maria Elizabeth Falzone and Roderick MacKinnon | Summary: PLCβ enzymes cleave PIP2 producing IP3 and DAG. PIP2 modulates the function of many ion channels, while IP3 and DAG regulate intracellular Ca2+ levels and protein phosphorylation by protein kinase C, respectively. PLCb enzymes are under the control of GPCR signaling […]

Kavli Affiliate: Timothy A. Ryan, Timothy Brown | Authors: Jonathan S Marvin, Alexandros C Kokotos, Mukesh Kumar, Camila Pulido, Ariana N Tkachuk, Jocelyn Shuxin Yao, Timothy A Brown and Timothy A Ryan | Summary: We developed a significantly improved genetically encoded quantitative adenosine triphosphate (ATP) sensor to provide real-time dynamics of ATP levels in subcellular […]
