Naturally occurring mutations in envelope mediate virulence of Usutu virus
Usutu virus (USUV) is a mosquito-transmitted flavivirus that is closely related to West Nile virus. Recently, USUV emerged in Europe, where it has caused multiple bird die-off events and neuroinvasive disease in humans.

Structural basis for the inhibition of RecBCD by Gam and its synergistic antibacterial effect with quinolones [PDF]
Our previous paper (Wilkinson et al, 2016) used high-resolution cryo-electron microscopy to solve the structure of the Escherichia coli RecBCD complex, which acts in both the repair of double-stranded DNA breaks and the degradation of bacteriophage DNA ...

Applying an Ethical Lens to the Treatment of People With Multiple Sclerosis
ABSTRACT The practice of neurology requires an understanding of clinical ethics for decision‐making. In multiple sclerosis (MS) care, there are a wide range of ethical considerations that may arise. These involve shared decision‐making around selection of a disease‐modifying therapy (DMT), risks and benefits of well‐studied medications in comparison to

Epilepsy‐Associated Variants of a Single SCN1A Codon Exhibit Divergent Functional Properties
ABSTRACT Objective Pathogenic variants in SCN1A, which encodes the voltage‐gated sodium channel NaV1.1, are associated with multiple epilepsy syndromes exhibiting a range of clinical severity. SCN1A variants are reported in different syndromes, including Dravet syndrome, which is associated with loss‐of‐function, whereas neonatal/infantile‐onset ...

Chimera state in a two-dimensional network of coupled genetic oscillators
Due to the interaction of the cells, cellular communications are carried out with emergent collective behaviors, such as synchronization. In this paper, a network of coupled genetic oscillators is studied by considering a two-dimensional framework and diffusive coupling.

Genetic chimeras reveal the autonomy requirements for Vsx2 in embryonic retinal progenitor cells [PDF]
Vertebrate retinal development is a complex process, requiring the specification and maintenance of retinal identity, proliferative expansion of retinal progenitor cells (RPCs), and their differentiation into retinal neurons and glia. The homeobox gene Vsx2 is expressed in RPCs and required for the proper execution of this retinal program. However, our

Rheumatologic Manifestations of Patients With Type B Insulin Resistance
Objective The objectives of this study were to identify laboratory and clinical features associated with type B insulin resistance (TBIR), a rare condition caused by autoantibodies that inhibit the insulin receptor, most frequently occurring in the setting of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and to increase awareness of this rare, life‐threatening ...

Regulation of Synaptic Pumilio Function by an Aggregation-Prone Domain [PDF]
We identified Pumilio (Pum), a Drosophila translational repressor, in a computational search for metazoan proteins whose activities might be regulated by assembly into ordered aggregates.
