TL;DR: Human MDA5 deficiency is a novel inborn error of innate and/or intrinsic immunity that causes impaired (ds)RNA sensing, reduced IFN induction, and susceptibility to the common cold virus.

TL;DR: X-linked immunodeficiency with magnesium defect, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection, and neoplasia (XMEN) disease is caused by deficiency of the magnesium transporter 1 gene (MAGT1), and deep immunophenotyping and glycoproteomics analysis on T lymphocytes show that XMEN disease is a congenital disorder of glycosylation that affects a restricted subset ofglycoproteins.

TL;DR: Although training was performed only on short-axis cardiac MRI examinations, the proposed strategy appeared to improve quality in other imaging planes and recovered high-frequency spatial information.

TL;DR: Macroalgae commonly found in the ocean around Hawaii were collected from near shore locations and their potential as biomass feedstock for fermentative ethanol was investigated, finding that 49% of the total mass was observed as sugars in the hydrolysate; however, fermentation was problematic.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that humans lacking functional MAGT1 have a selective deficiency in both immune and nonimmune glycoproteins, and several critical glycosylation defects in important immune-response proteins and in the expression of genes involved in immunity are identified.
