Kavli Affiliate: Robert Edwards | Authors: Joel E Brame, Craig Liddicoat, Catherine A Abbott, Robert A Edwards, Jake M Robinson, Nicolas E Gauthier and Martin F Breed | Summary: Butyrate-producing bacteria are found in many ecosystems and organisms, including humans, and are vital to ecosystem functionality and human health. These bacteria ferment organic matter, producing […]

Kavli Affiliate: Yifan Cheng | Authors: William Randall Arnold, David Julius and Yifan Cheng | Summary: Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) is a tetrameric cation channel expressed in primary afferent neurons, where it contributes to thermosensation and nociception. TRPV1 is a polymodal signal integrator that responds not only to heat, but also to inflammatory […]

Kavli Affiliate: Edward Chang | Authors: Alejandro Omar Blenkmann, Sabine Liliana Leske, Anais Llorens, Jack J Lin, Edward Chang, Peter Brunner, Gerwin Schalk, Jugoslav Ivanovic, Pal Gunnar Larsson, Robert Thomas Knight, Tor Endestad and Anne-Kristin Solbakk | Summary: Precise electrode localization is important for maximizing the utility of intracranial EEG data. Electrodes are typically localized […]

Kavli Affiliate: Philip Starr | Authors: James J. Sermon, Maria Olaru, Juan Anso, Stephanie Cernera, Simon Little, Maria Shcherbakova, Rafal Bogacz, Philip A. Starr, Timothy Denison and Benoit Duchet | Summary: Objectives The exact mechanisms of deep brain stimulation (DBS) are still an active area of investigation, in spite of its clinical successes. This is […]

Kavli Affiliate: Robert Edwards | Authors: Laura K Inglis, Michael J. Roach and Robert A Edwards | Summary: Phages integrated into a bacterial genome–called prophages–continuously monitor the health of the host bacteria to determine when to escape the genome, protect their host from other phage infections, and may provide genes that promote bacterial growth. Prophages […]

While virulent phages sculpt the microbiome by killing their bacterial hosts, temperate phages provide unique […]

Kavli Affiliate: Kevin Bender | Authors: Anna M Lipkin and Kevin J Bender | Summary: Neurons are remarkably polarized structures: dendrites spread and branch to receive synaptic inputs while a single axon extends and transmits action potentials to downstream targets. Neuronal polarity is maintained by the axon initial segment (AIS), a region between the soma […]
