Action potentials of neurons expel a charge when they reach the axon terminal, and classical electrodynamics predict the resulting electric fields and its influence to other neurons by ephaptic coupling.
CXXC1 is a pivotal epigenetic regulator that ensures Treg homeostasis and suppressive function by interacting with FOXP3 to modulate H3K4me3 deposition at key signature genes.
The rhizobial effector NopT and two Nod factor receptors of Lotus japonicus, NFR1 and NFR5, mutually interact to precisely regulate rhizobial symbiosis.
Visual adaptation in humans revealed that the perception of causality was tuned to the direction of motion while the adaptation transferred across different motion speeds and colors.
