Learning chemical sensitivity reveals mechanisms of cellular response

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Keiser | Authors: William J. Connell, Kristle Garcia, Hani Goodarzi and Michael J. Keiser | Summary: Chemical probes interrogate disease mechanisms at the molecular level by linking genetic changes to observable traits. However, comprehensive chemical screens in diverse biological models are impractical. To address this challenge, we developed ChemProbe, a model that […]

Beyond Lux: Methods for Species and Photoreceptor-Specific Quantification of Ambient Light for Mammals

Kavli Affiliate: Timothy Brown | Authors: Richard J McDowell, Altug Didikoglu, Tom Woelders, Mazie J Gatt, Roelof A. Hut, Timothy M Brown and Robert J Lucas | Summary: Background Light is a key environmental regulator of physiology and behaviour. Mistimed or insufficient light disrupts circadian rhythms and is associated with impaired health and well-being across […]

African elephants address one another with individually specific calls

Kavli Affiliate: Cynthia F. Moss | Authors: Michael A Pardo, Kurt Fristrup, David S Lolchuragi, Joyce Poole, Petter Granli, Cynthia Moss, Iain Douglas-Hamilton and George Wittemyer | Summary: Personal names are a universal feature of human language, yet few analogs exist in other species. While dolphins and parrots address conspecifics by imitating the calls of […]

Limitations of fluorescent timer protein maturation kinetics to isolate transcriptionally synchronized cortically differentiating human pluripotent stem cells

Kavli Affiliate: Seth Shipman | Authors: Manuel Peter, Seth Shipman and 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 […]

CaMKII autophosphorylation but not downstream kinase activity is required for synaptic memory

Kavli Affiliate: Roger Nicoll | Authors: XIUMIN CHEN, Qixu Cai, jing zhou, Samuel J Pleasure, Howard Schulman, Mingjie Zhang and Roger A Nicoll | Summary: CaMKII plays a critical role in long-term potentiation (LTP), a well-established model for learning and memory through the enhancement of synaptic transmission. Biochemical studies indicate that CaMKII catalyzes a phosphotransferase […]

VLBI Observations of a sample of Palomar-Green quasars II: characterising the parsec-scale radio emission

Kavli Affiliate: Luis C. Ho | First 5 Authors: Ailing Wang, Tao An, Yingkang Zhang, Xiaopeng Cheng, Luis C. Ho | Summary: This study uses multi-frequency Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) to study the radio emission from 10 radio-quiet quasars (RQQs) and four radio-loud quasars (RLQs). The diverse morphologies, radio spectra, and brightness temperatures observed […]
