Kavli Affiliate: Seth Shipman | Authors: Manuel Peter, Seth Shipman, Jeffrey D. Macklis | Summary: Differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells (hPSC) into distinct neuronal populations holds substantial potential for disease modeling in vitro, toward both elucidation of pathobiological mechanisms and screening of potential therapeutic agents. For successful differentiation of hPSCs into subtype-specific neurons using […]

Kavli Affiliate: Robert Edwards | Authors: Max Pearson, Carl Haslam, Andrew Fosberry, Emma J Jones, Mark Reglinski, Robert J Edwards, Richard Ashley Lawrenson, Jonathan C Brown, Danuta Mossakowska, James Edward Pease and Shiranee Sriskandan | Summary: The Streptococcus pyogenes cell envelope protease (SpyCEP) is vital to streptococcal pathogenesis and disease progression. Despite its strong association […]

Kavli Affiliate: Su Guo | Authors: Chee San Tong, Maohan Su, He Sun, Xiang Le Chua, Su Guo, Ravinraj S/O Ramaraj, Ann Gie Lee, Nicole Wen Pei Ong, Yansong Miao and Min Wu | Summary: The coordination between actin and microtubule network is crucial, yet our understanding of the underlying mechanisms remains limited. In this […]

Kavli Affiliate: Seth Shipman | Authors: Alejandro Gonzalez-Delgado, Santiago C Lopez, Matias Rojas-Montero, Chloe B Fishman and Seth L Shipman | Summary: Our understanding of genomics is limited by the scale of our genomic technologies. While libraries of genomic manipulations scaffolded on CRISPR gRNAs have been transformative, these existing approaches are typically multiplexed across genomes. […]

Kavli Affiliate: Andrea Hasenstaub | Authors: David A. McCormick, Yousheng Shu and Andrea R Hasenstaub | Summary: A fundamental feature of the cerebral cortex is the ability to rapidly turn on and off maintained activity within ensembles of neurons through recurrent excitation balanced by inhibition. Here we demonstrate that reduction of the h-current, which is […]

Kavli Affiliate: Kristofer Bouchard, Loren Frank, Christoph Kirst | Authors: Pratik Sachdeva, Ji Hyun Bak, Jesse A Livezey, Loren Frank, Christoph Kirst, Sharmodeep Bhattacharyya and Kristofer Bouchard | Summary: In the brain, all neurons are driven by the activity of other neurons, some of which maybe simultaneously recorded, but most are not. As such, models […]

Kavli Affiliate: Jeanne Paz | Authors: Virginie Loison, Yuliya Voskobiynyk, Britta Lindquist, Deanna Necula, Dan Longrois, Jeanne T. Paz and David Holcman | Summary: Cortical electro-encephalography (EEG) has become the clinical reference for monitoring unconsciousness during general anesthesia. The current EEG-based monitors classify general anesthesia states simply as underdosed, adequate, or overdosed, with no transition […]
