Autonoetic Consciousness in Autobiographical Memories after Medial Temporal Lobe Resection by M. Noulhiane, P. Piolino, D. Hasboun, S. Clemenceau, M. Baulac, S. Samson

“…This poor autonoetic consciousness was highlighted when patients were asked to justify their Remember responses by recalling sensory-perceptive, affective or spatiotemporal specific details across all life periods. These results support the bilateral MTL contribution to episodic autobiographical memory covering the entire lifespan, which is consistent with the multiple trace theory of MTL function [7,9]. …”

Engineering novel CRISPRi repressors for highly efficient mammalian gene regulation by Andrew Kristof, Krithika Karunakaran, Christopher Allen, Paula Mizote, Sophie Briggs, Zixin Jian, Patrick Nash, John Blazeck

“…We show that these novel repressor fusions have reduced dependence on guide RNA sequences, better slow cell growth when used to knock down expression of essential genes, and function in either fusion or scaffold modalities. Furthermore, we isolate and characterize a particularly effective CRISPRi platform, dCas9-ZIM3(KRAB)-MeCP2(t), which shows improved gene repression of endogenous targets both at the transcript and protein level across several cell lines and when deployed in genome-wide screens. …”
