Water intake is critical to our life, and the subfornical organ in the brain involved in the control of this behavior. Here, the authors reveal that two distinct groups of CCK-producing neurons in the SFO suppress water intake according to the ...

Fukutin-related protein (FKRP) catalyses the addition of ribitol-phosphate (RboP) to the O-mannosyl glycan of α-dystroglycan and mutations in FKRP cause dystroglycanopathy. Here the authors provide insights into its oligomerization and recognition of the

Physics of liquid crystals in cell biology [PDF]
The last decade has witnessed a rapid growth in understanding of the pivotal roles of mechanical stresses and physical forces in cell biology. As a result an integrated view of cell biology is evolving, where genetic and molecular features are scrutinized hand in hand with physical and mechanical characteristics of cells. Physics of liquid crystals has

Is synthetic biology mechanical biology?
A widespread and influential characterization of synthetic biology emphasizes that synthetic biology is the application of engineering principles to living systems. Furthermore, there is a strong tendency to express the engineering approach to organisms in terms of what seems to be an ontological claim: organisms are machines.

Systems biology beyond degree, hubs and scale-free networks: the case for multiple metrics in complex networks [PDF]
Modeling and topological analysis of networks in biological and other complex systems, must venture beyond the limited consideration of very few network metrics like degree, betweenness or assortativity. A proper identification of informative and redundant entities from many different metrics, using recently demonstrated techniques, is essential.

Singular value decomposition quantum algorithm for quantum biology [PDF]
There has been a recent interest in quantum algorithms for the modelling and prediction of non-unitary quantum dynamics using current quantum computers. The field of quantum biology is one area where these algorithms could prove to be useful, as biological systems are generally intractable to treat in their complete form, but amenable to an open ...
