Decision making is considered an important aspect of cognitive function. Impaired decision making is a consequence of cognitive decline caused by various physiological conditions, such as aging and neurodegenerative diseases. Here we exploited the value-based feeding decision (VBFD) assay, which is a simple sensory-motor task, to determine the cognitive status of Drosophila. Our results indicated…
Knowledge gaps regarding human immunity to Streptococcus pyogenes have impeded vaccine development. To address these gaps and evaluate vaccine candidates, we established a human challenge…
This study investigates the impact of acute ischemic stroke on brain functional organization and evaluates the influence of temporal lag correction on connectivity gradients. Ischemic…
Amyloid-beta (Abeta)-directed antibodies tested clinically for therapeutic activity against Alzheimer disease (AD) have shown varying degrees of efficacy. Although all of these antibodies target the…
Cell-free systems are powerful synthetic biology technologies because of their ability to recapitulate sensing and gene expression without the complications of living cells. Cell-free systems…
The adaptor protein human GRB2 plays crucial roles in mediating signal transduction from cell membrane receptors to RAS and its downstream proteins by recruiting SOS1.…
Hidden Markov Model (HMM) inference for time-series data from ion channels or other biomolecules is challenging. We argue that inference on partially observed chemical reaction…
Formation of chondromimetic human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) condensations typically required in vitro culture in defined environments. In addition, extended in vitro culture in differentiation…
Bitter taste receptors (T2Rs), are a subset of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) that play a key role in responding to microbial presence at epithelial surfaces.…
The heterotrimeric GTPase eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 (eIF2) delivers the initiator Met-tRNAi to the ribosomal translation preinitiation complex. eIF2β has three lysine-rich repeats (K-boxes)…
Abstract GCN2 is a conserved receptor kinase activating the Integrated Stress Response (ISR) in eukaryotic cells. The ISR kinases detect accumulation of stress molecules and…
