Significance Lysosomes are found in all neuronal domains, including the soma, axon, and dendrites. How neurons transported these however, remains poorly understood. In present study, we show that a protein ensemble comprising BORC, Arl8, SKIP, kinesin-1 specifically drives lysosome transport into axon not We also this mechanism of axonal is essential for maintenance growth-cone dynamics turnover autophagosomes distal axon. These findings imply lysosomes dendrites occurs by different...

The prognosis of elderly patients with glioblastoma (GBM) is universally poor. Currently, few studies have examined postoperative outcomes and the effects various modern therapies such as bevacizumab on survival in this patient population. In study, authors evaluated factors overall a cohort newly diagnosed GBM.A retrospective review was performed (≥ 65 years old) GBM treated between 2004 2010. Various characteristics were univariate multivariate stepwise models to examine their complication...

Highlights•We define a neuronal region named the pre-axonal exclusion zone (PAEZ)•Somatodendritic vesicles are excluded from axon at PAEZ•Coupling to an axonal kinesin overcomes vesicle PAEZ•Polarized sorting PAEZ depends on differential binding microtubule motorsSummaryPolarized of newly synthesized proteins somatodendritic and domains neurons occurs by selective incorporation into distinct populations vesicular transport carriers. An unresolved issue is how themselves sorted their...

BORC is a multisubunit complex previously shown to promote coupling of mammalian lysosomes and C. elegans synaptic vesicle (SV) precursors (SVPs) kinesins for anterograde transport these organelles along microtubule tracks. We attempted meld observations into unified model axonal in neurons by testing two alternative hypotheses: (1) that SV lysosomal proteins are co-transported within single type "lysosome-related vesicle" (2) SVPs distinct organelles, but both depend on transport. Analyses...

We study the connection of matter density and its tracers from PDF perspective. One aspect this is conditional expectation value $\langle \delta_{\mathrm{tracer}}|\delta_m\rangle$ when averaging both tracer over some scale. present a new way to incorporate Lagrangian bias expansion into standard frameworks for modelling fluctuations counts-in-cells statistics. Using N-body simulations mock galaxy catalogs we confirm accuracy compare it more commonly used Eulerian parametrization. For halos...

A promising channel for producing binary black hole mergers is the Lidov-Kozai orbital resonance in hierarchical triple systems. While this mechanism has been studied isolation, distribution of such time and across star-forming environments not well characterized. In work, we explore Lidov-Kozai-induced open clusters, combining semi-analytic Monte Carlo methods to calculate merger rates delay times eight different population models. We predict a rate density...

While Bayesian inference techniques are standard in cosmological analyses, it is common to interpret resulting parameter constraints with a frequentist intuition. This intuition can fail, e.g. when marginalizing high-dimensional spaces onto subsets of parameters, because what has come be known as projection effects or prior volume effects. We present the method Informed Total-Error-Minimizing (ITEM) priors address this. An ITEM distribution on set nuisance ones describing astrophysical...
