Open AccessMicroglial cannabinoid receptor type 1 mediates social memory deficits in mice produced by adolescent THC exposure and 16p11.2 duplication
Adolescent cannabis use increases the risk for cognitive impairments and psychiatric disorders. Cannabinoid receptor type 1 (Cnr1) is expressed not only in neurons and astrocytes, but also in microglia, which ...

Open AccessA single-cell atlas of in vitro multiculture systems uncovers the in vivo lineage trajectory and cell state in the human lung
We present an in-depth single-cell atlas of in vitro multiculture systems on human primary airway epithelium derived from normal and diseased lungs of 27 individual donors. Our large-scale single-cell profilin...

Complete genome and molecular characterization of a putative novel citrivirus from Rudbeckia sp.
We identified a tentative novel positive-strand RNA virus from Rudbeckia sp., namely, Rudbeckia citrivirus A (RuCVA). The complete genome sequence of the novel virus was 8821 nucleotides in length, excluding the ...

A Local Assessment Approach for Diagnosis of Thermal Imaging-Based Palmar Hyperhidrosis
Hyperhidrosis is classified as a skin disease that causes excessive sweating due to emotional stress and lowers the quality of life according to the degree of discomfort. The most common palmar hyperhidrosis i...

Complete genome sequence of a putative novel cytorhabdovirus isolated from Rudbeckia sp.
Through high-throughput RNA sequencing, we discovered a putative new cytorhabdovirus in the seeds of Rudbeckia sp., which we have tentatively named “rudbeckia virus 1” (RudV1). Its complete 12,502-nt genomic sequ...

Picking the right metaphors for addressing microbial systems: economic theory helps understanding biological complexity
Any descriptive language is necessarily metaphoric and interpretative. Two somewhat overlap**—but not identical—languages have been thoroughly employed in the last decade to address the issue of regulatory c...

HIGH CROSSOVER RATE1 encodes PROTEIN PHOSPHATASE X1 and restricts meiotic crossovers in Arabidopsis
Meiotic crossovers are tightly restricted in most eukaryotes, despite an excess of initiating DNA double-strand breaks. The majority of plant crossovers are dependent on class I interfering repair, with a mino...

Open AccessDynamic allocation of orthogonal ribosomes facilitates uncoupling of co-expressed genes
Introduction of synthetic circuits into microbes creates competition between circuit and host genes for shared cellular resources, such as ribosomes. This can lead to the emergence of unwanted coupling between...

Lhx6-positive GABA-releasing neurons of the zona incerta promote sleep
GABAergic Lhx6+ neurons in the ventral zona incerta promote both rapid eye movement and non-rapid eye movement sleep and inhibit the activity of wake-promoting GABAergic and Hcrt+ neurons of the lateral hypothala...

Open AccessCell-type specific differences in promoter activity of the ALS-linked C9orf72 mouse ortholog
A hexanucleotide repeat expansion in the C9orf72 gene is the most common cause of inherited forms of the neurodegenerative disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Both loss-of-function and gain-of-function m...

Deep Sequencing to Study Microbial Transcriptomic Responses to Hydrocarbon Degradation/Production/Stress
Until relatively recently, genome-wide bacterial transcription analysis has typically relied on oligonucleotide-based DNA microarrays. This approach, however, has drawbacks because of limitations of probe desi...

Open AccessMemory programming in CD8+ T-cell differentiation is intrinsic and is not determined by CD4 help
CD8+ T cells activated without CD4+ T-cell help are impaired in memory expansion. To understand the underlying cellular mechanism, here we track the dynamics of helper-deficient CD8+ T-cell response to a minor hi...

Open AccessTargeted Regression of Hepatocellular Carcinoma by Cancer-Specific RNA Replacement through MicroRNA Regulation
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has a high fatality rate and limited therapeutic options with side effects and low efficacy. Here, we proposed a new anti-HCC approach based on cancer-specific post-transcription...
