eLife, 2021 Choices rely on a transformation of sensory inputs into motor responses. Using invasive single neuron recordings, the evolution of a choice process has been tracked by projecting population neural responses into state spaces. Here, we develop an approach

Genetic drift suppresses bacterial conjugation in spatially structured populations [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2014 ABSTRACT Conjugation is the primary mechanism of horizontal gene transfer that spreads antibiotic resistance among bacteria. Although conjugation normally occurs in surface-associated growth (e.g., biofilms), it has been traditionally studied in well-mixed liquid cultures lacking spatial structure, which is known to ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

Environmental Brownian noise suppresses explosions in population dynamics
Stochastic Processes and their Applications, 2002 It is well known that by adding a noise term to the right hand side of an ordinary differential equation it is often possible to change completely stability properties of solutions. In particular, solutions to a stochastic differential equation may exist globally while solutions to the corresponding deterministic problem blow up in finite time.

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

BMC Biology, 2020 Background Gene drives based on CRISPR-Cas9 technology are increasingly being considered as tools for reducing the capacity of mosquito populations to transmit malaria, and one of the most promising options is driving endonuclease genes that reduce the ...

An investigation of weight suppression in a population‐based sample of female twins [PDF]
International Journal of Eating Disorders, 2010 AbstractObjective:Weight suppression (WS), maintaining a body weight below one's maximum adult weight, is associated with bingeing, purging, and weight gain in clinical samples.Method:We investigated associations between eating disorder‐related variables and WS and additive genetic (A), common (C), and unique (E) environmental contributions to WS in a ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Biomolecular condensates formed by fused in sarcoma (FUS) are dissolved by high ATP concentrations yet persist in cells. Using a reconstituted system, we demonstrate that valosin‐containing protein (VCP), an AAA+ ATPase, counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its D2 ATPase activity.
