A Preoptic Neurocircuit that Regulates Blood Glucose Homeostasis
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2025-02)The preoptic area (POA) is the core thermoregulatory center of all known endothermic species and balances heat generation and cooling in response to environmental stimuli. This delicate balance is executed via a brain-body ... -
Characterizing population-level variation in mRNA splicing and implications for human genetic interpretation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2025-05)Alternative splicing is when a single gene sequence gives rise to multiple RNA sequences. DNA mutations in this gene sequence can alter this process, shifting the relative usage of RNA sequences. This relative usage is ... -
Biochemical Characterization of the DUF3328 Protein in the Biosynthesis of Cyclic Peptide Cyclochlorotine
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2025-05)Cyclic peptide natural products are valuable sources for medicine. They exhibit significant biological and chemical diversity. Cyclochlorotine, a fungal cyclic pentapeptide produced by Talaromyces islandicus, possesses ...
