Kavli Affiliate: Michael Keiser | Authors: Leo Gendelev, Jack Taylor, Douglas Myers-Turnbull, Steven Chen, Matthew N. McCarroll, Michelle R. Arkin, David Kokel and Michael J. Keiser | Summary: Behavioral larval zebrafish screens leverage a high-throughput small molecule discovery format to find neuroactive molecules relevant to mammalian physiology. We screened a library of 650 central nervous […]
Kavli Affiliate: Alexandra Nelson | Authors: Xiaowen Zhuang, Julia Lemak, Sadhana Sridhar and Alexandra B Nelson | Summary: Healthy action selection relies on the coordinated activity of striatal direct and indirect pathway neurons. In Parkinson’s disease (PD), in which loss of midbrain dopamine neurons is associated with progressive motor and cognitive deficits, this coordination is […]
Kavli Affiliate: Hana El-Samad | Authors: Matthew S Kim, Hersh K Bhargava, Gavin E Shavey, Wendell A Lim, Hana El-Samad and Andrew H Ng | Summary: Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells have made a tremendous impact in the clinic, but potent signaling through the CAR can be detrimental to treatment safety and efficacy. The […]

Kavli Affiliate: Anatol Kreitzer | Authors: Robyn St. Laurent, Kelly M Kusche, Anatol C Kreitzer and Robert C Malenka | Summary: Background The avoidance of aversive stimuli due to negative reinforcement learning is critical for survival in real-world environments, which demand dynamic responding to both positive and negative stimuli that often conflict with each other. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Loren Frank | Authors: Anna K Gillespie, Daniela A Astudillo Maya, Eric L. Denovellis, Sachi Desse and Loren M Frank | Summary: Hippocampal replay – the time-compressed, sequential reactivation of ensembles of neurons related to past experience – is a key neural mechanism of memory consolidation. Replay typically coincides with a characteristic pattern […]

Kavli Affiliate: Yifan Cheng | Authors: He Chen, Yifan Cheng, Jianqiang Dong, Jie Mao, Xin Wang, Yuan Gao, Yuchao Li, Chengzhi Wang and Qiong Wu | Summary: Predicting the properties of proteins is an important procedure in protein engineering. It determines the subspace of mutations for protein modifications, which is critical to the success of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Seth Shipman | Authors: Asim G. Khan, Matías Rojas-Montero, Alejandro González-Delgado, Santiago C. Lopez, Rebecca F. Fang and Seth L. Shipman | Summary: Abstract Retrons are bacterial immune systems that use reverse transcribed DNA as a detector of phage infection. They are also increasingly deployed as a component of biotechnology. For genome editing, […]
