PBP-lipo is an essential cell-wall synthesis enzyme in Mycobacterium abscessus that localizes to the septum and whose expression is required for normal cell growth and division, as well as mediating sensitivity to several antibiotics including the β-lactams, ampicillin, and amoxicillin.

Interaction strength in Notch signaling determines lateral inhibition patterning and drives fate in the unidimensional cell arrangement of the zebrafish notochord.

Method NEAdriver employs knowledge from global networks to predict novel cancer driver genes in an individualized manner, which is done by accounting for mutations’ co-occurrence in each tumor genome and rigorous statistical evaluation.

Archived histological material from tracing studies, immunohistochemistry, and Golgi impregnations allowed to discover a so far unrecognized structural difference, potentially of functional importance, between neocortical pyramidal neurons of rodent, carnivore, and ungulate as compared to monkey and man.

MorphoGraphX is a user-friendly image processing software primarily aimed at segmenting 3D biological images into cells, quantifying cellular gene expression and growth, and understanding these data in the spatial context of developing organs.

Social-affective features predict the perceived similarity of real-world actions better than, and independently of, visual and action-related features, and are extracted at the final stage of a temporal gradient in the brain.

Neural recordings from macaque area MT reveal a novel mechanism for detecting moving objects during self-motion, involving neurons with incongruent tuning for depth from motion parallax and binocular disparity cues.

Polyunsaturated fatty acids facilitate or impede Kv7 channel activation, depending on channel subtype and their dominant functional site(s).

Monounsaturated fatty acids protect against DKD by enhancing membrane fluidity and decreasing ER lipid bilayer stress in renal proximal tubules.

A mathematical model of glycosylation in the Golgi apparatus to investigate how the fidelity of synthesising a complex glycan distribution at the plasma membrane depends on parameters such as the number of Golgi cisternae or enzyme specificity.
