Nicotine Reduces l-DOPA-Induced Dyskinesias by Acting at β2* Nicotinic Receptors
These data demonstrate an essential role for β2* nAChRs in the antidyskinetic effect of nicotine and suggest that drugs targeting these subtypes may be useful for the management of l-DOPA-induced dyskinesias…

Acute Optogenetic Silencing of Orexin/Hypocretin Neurons Induces Slow-Wave Sleep in Mice
Our results demonstrate that acute inhibition of orexin neurons results in time-of-day-dependent induction of SWS and in reduced firing rate of neurons in an efferent projection site thought to be…

Erratum To: Identification of a Soybean Chloroplast DNA Replication Origin-Binding Protein(Plant Mol Biol,10.1007/S11103-011-9736-6)
Replication of chloroplast DNA (ctDNA) in several plants and in Chlamydomonas reinhardii has been shown to occur by a double displacement loop (D-loop) mechanism and potentially also by a rolling circle mechanism.

CCR4-Associated Factor 1 Coordinates the Expression of Plasmodium Falciparum Egress and Invasion Proteins
We report that carbon catabolite repressor protein 4 (CCR4)-associated factor 1 (CAF1) is critical in regulating more than 1,000 genes during malaria parasites' intraerythrocytic stages.
