We have a new memory-based framework for thinking about replay, showing that a surprisingly large range of the characteristics of wake and sleep replay can be explained by simple memory mechanisms. We are very eager to get your thoughts and feedback on this new model!

We had previously discovered TRIM34 as a novel inhibitor of HIV replication through an HIV-CRISPR Screen

https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.ppat.1008507

Similar to our previous findings for human TRIM34, we show that the antiviral of TRIM34 is dependent on its close paralog TRIM5

Our model is that TRIM34 and TRIM5 are able to interact and form a higher-order lattice that is able to inhibit the replication of some HIV viruses and primate lentiviruses more broadly

2/2

Wow!

The hummingbird as the Thermus aquaticus of RNA editing tools?

"We exogenously expressed different heterologous ADARs to reveal their distinct editing potential and identified two exceptionally active A-to-I editors: the hummingbird ADAR2, and primarily the mallard-duck ADAR1, whose core body temperature is 40–42°C."

"O Banco Central Europeu defende interesses e podemos ter a certeza que não são os das pessoas ou, como agora se diz tanto, os das famílias. Para quem tem dúvidas: reparem que ainda na semana passada, e enquanto anunciava o aumento das taxas de juro, Lagarde apelava ao fim dos apoios governamentais às famílias e às empresas."
