Impulsivity in rodents with a genetic predisposition for excessive alcohol consumption is associated with a lack of a prospective strategy [PDF]
Increasing evidence supports the hypothesis that impulsive decision-making is a heritable risk factor for an alcohol use disorder (AUD). Clearly identifying a link between impulsivity and AUD risk, however, is complicated by the fact that both AUDs and ...

Structural and functional analysis of the human POT1-TPP1 telomeric complex
POT1 and TTP1 are part of the shelterin complex that caps and stabilizes the ends of telomeres. Here the authors present a structural analysis of the human POT1-TTP1 complex, shedding light on how it assembles and how cancer-associated mutations impact ...

CTCF driven TERRA transcription facilitates completion of telomere DNA replication
TERRA RNA is involved in maintaining stability during telomere repeat replication. Here the authors, by using CRISPR/Cas9, mutate CTCF-binding sites at start site of TERRA transcripts and find that subtelomeric CTCF facilitates telomeric DNA replication ...

Epigenetic specifications of host chromosome docking sites for latent Epstein-Barr virus
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) episomes tether to the host chromosome via EBNA1. Here, using circular chromosome conformation capture (4C), Kim et al. identify attachment sites and show that EBV episomes preferentially associate with transcriptionally silenced

The carotid body as a putative therapeutic target for the treatment of neurogenic hypertension [PDF]
In the spontaneously hypertensive (SH) rat, hyperoxic inactivation of the carotid body (CB) produces a rapid and pronounced fall in both arterial pressure and renal sympathetic nerve activity (RSA).
