Article Synopsis
  • * Researchers focused on five subdivisions of the primate amygdala in macaques, baboons, and humans, identifying distinct types of excitatory and inhibitory neurons, including specific interneurons.
  • * Findings reveal the molecular diversity of amygdalar neuron types, which may enhance current understanding of how these brain circuits affect cognition and mental health, particularly in relation to nonhuman primate models.

The NF-κB protein p65/RelA plays a pivotal role in coordinating gene expression in response to diverse stimuli, including viral infections. At the chromatin level, p65/RelA regulates gene transcription and alternative splicing through promoter enrichment and genomic exon occupancy, respectively. The intricate ways in which p65/RelA simultaneously governs these functions across various genes remain to be fully elucidated.

Article Synopsis
  • DDX5 and DDX17 are RNA helicases that play important roles in gene expression, particularly in regulating transcription and splicing, though their exact mechanisms are not fully known.
  • Analysis of human cells lacking DDX5 and DDX17 showed significant disruptions in splicing and 3' end processing of RNA.
  • The study suggests that DDX5 and DDX17 help form chromatin loops that connect specific gene regions to their promoters, influencing how RNA is spliced and processed.

Queueing systems are modeled by equations which depend on a large number of input parameters. In practice, significant uncertainty is associated with estimates of these parameters, and this uncertainty must be considered in the analysis of the model. The objective of this paper is to propose a sensitivity analysis approach for a queueing model, presenting parameters that follow a Gaussian distribution.

Viral infections are known to hijack the transcription and translation of the host cell. However, the extent to which viral proteins coordinate these perturbations remains unclear. Here we used a model system, the human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1), and systematically analyzed the transcriptome and interactome of key effectors oncoviral proteins Tax and HBZ.
