mTORC1-selective inhibitors rescue cellular phenotypes in TSC iPSC-derived neurons Open
The mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway plays an important role in regulating multiple cellular processes, including cell growth, autophagy, proliferation, protein synthesis, and lipid synthesis, among others. Given the central …

Analysis of DNA from brain tissue on stereo-EEG electrodes reveals mosaic epilepsy-related variants Open
Somatic mosaic variants contribute to focal epilepsy, with variants often present only in brain tissue and not in blood or other samples typically assayed for genetic testing. Thus, genetic analysis for mosaic variants in focal epilepsy ha…

Analysis of DNA from brain tissue on stereo-EEG electrodes reveals mosaic epilepsy-related variants Open
Somatic mosaic variants contribute to focal epilepsy, but genetic analysis has been limited to patients with drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) who undergo surgical resection, as the variants are mainly brain-limited. Stereoelectroencephalograp…

Response of ectomycorrhizal fungi to full and selective removal of an invasive tree in riparian woodland Open
The Brazilian pepper tree ( Schinus terebinthifolius ) is an invasive species that requires significant disturbance to eradicate. Previous studies have identified associations between the Brazilian pepper tree and ectomycorrhizal fungi (EM…

Somatic Mosaicism in <i>PIK3CA</i> Variant Correlates With Stereoelectroencephalography-Derived Electrophysiology Open
We demonstrate regional mosaicism across epileptogenic tissue, suggesting a correlation between variant burden and SOZ. We also validate a pathogenic variant from individual amplified sEEG electrode-derived brain specimens, although furthe…

ENSO‐Influenced Drought Drives Methane Flux Dynamics in a Tropical Wet Forest Soil Open
Global atmospheric methane growth rates have wildly fluctuated over the past three decades, which may be driven by the proportion of tropical land surface saturated by water. The El Niño/Southern Oscillation Event (ENSO) cycle drives large…

Welcome to the <i>Atta</i> world: A framework for understanding the effects of leaf‐cutter ants on ecosystem functions Open
Leaf‐cutter ants are a prominent feature in Neotropical ecosystems, but a comprehensive assessment of their effects on ecosystem functions is lacking. We reviewed the literature and used our own recent findings to identify knowledge gaps a…

The Role of the Ecosystem Engineer, the Leaf‐Cutter Ant <span><i>Atta cephalotes</i></span>, on Soil CO<sub>2</sub> Dynamics in a Wet Tropical Rainforest Open
Leaf‐cutter ants are dominant herbivores that disturb the soil and create biogeochemical hot spots. We studied how leaf‐cutter ant Atta cephalotes impacts soil CO 2 dynamics in a wet Neotropical forest. We measured soil CO 2 concentration …

Disturbance, Restoration, and Soil Carbon Dynamics in Desert and Tropical Ecosystems Open
Disturbances, natural or anthropogenic, alter ecosystem functioning by changing the biotic composition, biogeochemical cycling, or the physical structure of an environment. As carbon dioxide is a major contributor to global climate change,…
