Kavli Affiliate: Li Zhao | Authors: Samuel Khodursky, Eric B Zheng, Nicolas Svetec, Sylvia M Durkin, Sigi Benjamin, Alice Gadau, Xia Wu and Li Zhao | Summary: The evolution of regulatory regions in the genome plays a critical role in shaping the diversity of life. While this process is primarily sequence-dependent, the enormous complexity of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Menno Witter | Authors: Katrine Sjaastad Hanssen, Nicolai Winter-Hjelm, Salome Nora Niethammer, Asgeir Kobro-Flatmoen, Menno P. Witter, Axel Sandvig and Ioanna Sandvig | Summary: Engineered biological neural networks are indispensable tools for investigating neural function in both healthy and diseased states from the subcellular to the network level. Neurons in vitro self-organize over […]
Kavli Affiliate: Zheng Zhu | First 5 Authors: Xue-Feng Zhu, Tianyang Xu, Jian Zhao, Jia-Wei Liu, Kai Wang | Summary: Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have been widely used in many areas, including transportation, surveillance, and military. However, their potential for safety and privacy violations is an increasing issue and highly limits their broader applications, underscoring […]
Kavli Affiliate: Li Zhao | Authors: Junhui Peng and Li Zhao | Summary: Although previously thought to be unlikely, recent studies have shown that de novo gene origination from previously non-genic sequences is a common mechanism for gene innovation in many species and taxa. These young genes provide a unique set of candidates to study […]
Kavli Affiliate: Lijing Shao | First 5 Authors: Xiaolin Liu, Zhoujian Cao, Lijing Shao, , | Summary: Effective one body numerical relativity waveform models for spin aligned binary black holes (SEOBNR) are based on the effective one body theoretical framework and numerical relativity simulation results. SEOBNR models have evolved through version 1 to version 4. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Timothy Brown | Authors: Kristian Davidsen, Jonathan S Marvin, Abhi Aggarwal, Timothy A Brown and Lucas B Sullivan | Summary: Intracellular levels of the amino acid aspartate are responsive to changes in metabolism in mammalian cells and can correspondingly alter cell function, highlighting the need for robust tools to measure aspartate abundance. However, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael Stryker | Authors: Luciano Dyballa, Andra M Rudzite, Mahmood S Hoseini, Mishek Thapa, Michael P Stryker, Greg D Field and Steven W Zucker | Summary: The retina and primary visual cortex (V1) both exhibit diverse neural populations sensitive to diverse visual features. Yet it remains unclear how neural populations in each area […]
Kavli Affiliate: Salvatore Vitale | First 5 Authors: Sylvia Biscoveanu, Eric Burns, Philippe Landry, Salvatore Vitale, | Summary: Compact-object binary mergers consisting of one neutron star and one black hole (NSBHs) have long been considered promising progenitors for gamma-ray bursts, whose central engine remains poorly understood. Using gravitational-wave constraints on the population-level NSBH mass and […]

Kavli Affiliate: Subo Dong | First 5 Authors: Zhuokai Liu, Subo Dong, , , | Summary: M71E is a spider pulsar (i.e., a millisecond pulsar with a tight binary companion) with the shortest known orbital period of P=53.3 min discovered by Pan et al. (2023). Their favored evolutionary model suggests that it bridges between two […]
