• Neural circuit plasticity underlying learning and memory in Drosophila melanogaster: from synaptic connections to behavior 

  Rachad, El Yazid (2023-05-12)

  Understanding the principles behind olfactory higher-order associative chains formation in Drosophila is one step further into unraveling the essence of learning and memory. However, the rationale behind such mechanisms ...

• Crosstalk between the lung microenvironment and CNS autoimmunity 

  Cugota Canals, Roger (2023-05-08)

  The contribution of the lung in shaping CNS autoimmunity is gaining relevance in the last years. Central nervous system (CNS) reactive T cells can acquire in the lung the potential to invade the CNS in experimental ...

• Structural interrogation of enzyme mechanism and dynamics 

  Mehr, Alexander (2023-05-05)

  The pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDHc) is one of the largest macromolecular enzyme complexes, and serves an universally important metabolic function by converting pyruvate into acetyl-CoA. Therefore, the PDHc connects ...

• Complex Dynamics in the Spread of COVID-19 

  Contreras Gonzalez, Sebastian Antonio (2023-05-05)

  The COVID-19 pandemic is the most recent example that infectious diseases can disrupt and permanently alter how societies work and interact. This manuscript builds around a series of papers studying disease spread from the ...

• Biochemical reconstitution of human autophagy initiation 

  Nguyen, Ngo Minh Anh (2023-05-04)

  Autophagy is a tightly regulated process that eukaryotic cells use as a major survival mechanism to reallocate nutrients to essential processes in adverse conditions such as nutrient or energy deprivation. Autophagy is ...

• Molecular Dynamics Studies of Permeation and Gating Mechanisms in Potassium Channels 

  Lam, Chun Kei (2023-04-19)

  Potassium (K+) channels contribute to diverse physiological activities, representing an indispensable part of living organisms. A thorough understanding of different aspects of permeation mechanisms and gating in K+ channels ...

• Machine learning classification of patients with major depressive disorder and healthy controls using magnetic resonance imaging data 

  Belov, Vladimir (2023-04-19)

  Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a prevalent and complex psychiatric disorder affecting more than 300 million people worldwide. It is characterized by a highly heterogeneous spectrum of symptoms, including low mood and ...

• Gene Expression Analysis in Models of Cognitive Diseases 

  Cortes Silva, Jonathan Alexis (2023-04-18)

  Neuropsychiatric disorders and neurodegenerative diseases have been a subject of significant interest in the scientific community for several reasons. A considerable portion of the population experiences discomfort due to ...

• Characterizing intracellular lipid signaling in dilated cardiomyopathy using human iPSC-derived cardiac cells 

  Ignatyeva, Nadezda (2023-04-18)

  Sarcomere protein misalignment is a primary consequence of inherited mutations causing dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and results in severe molecular patho-phenotypes in cardiomyocytes from patients. In this study, human ...

• Landscape effects on predator activity and nest predation in grey partridges Perdix perdix 

  Laux, Amelie Marilyn (2023-04-14)

  Europe's agricultural landscapes used to be home to a wide variety of plants and wildlife that have adapted to these open, cultivated landscapes. Following the onset of large-scale agricultural intensification in the ...

• Modulation of sensory processing under different modes of reward cueing 

  Antono, Jessica Emily (2023-04-13)

  Rewards not only shape our value-based choices but also affect our simple perceptual decisions. Accordingly, behavioral and neural correlates of reward-driven effects on perception have already been identified at the ...

• Microsatellites and Genetic Variation in Two Members of the African Papionini 

  Trede, Franziska (2023-03-31)

  The importance of genetic variation for the fitness and viability of populations and species has been shown in many studies over the last decades. However, the way to determine such genetic variation has changed and evolved ...

• The Verticillium dahliae Vta3 genetic network and hydrophobins are required in tomato xylem sap for plant disease 

  Maurus, Isabel (2023-03-27)

  The ascomycete Verticillium dahliae is a pathogenic fungus for a variety of important crops and spends long phases of its life cycle in the vascular xylem system of particular host plants. Growth in this unique and ...

• Context, circuit and modulation of courtship signal selection in Drosophila 

  Steinfath, Elsa (2023-03-23)

  Communication is multi-modal -- when we interact, we speak, gesticulate, and touch. However, the neural computations and circuits that select and coordinate these communication signals are unclear. We address this issue ...
