Journal ArticleDOI

The Physarum polycephalum Genome Reveals Extensive Use of Prokaryotic Two-Component and Metazoan-Type Tyrosine Kinase Signaling.

TL;DR: The analysis characterizes P. polycephalum as a prototypical eukaryote with features attributed to the last common ancestor of Amorphea, that is, the Amoebozoa and Opisthokonts, and argues against the later emergence of tyrosine kinase signaling in the opistHokont lineage.
Journal ArticleDOI

Single-cell analyses of aging, inflammation and senescence.

TL;DR: It is suggested that single-cell experiments may hold the key to provide detailed insights whenever interventions (countering aging, inflammation, senescence, disease, etc.) are affecting cells depending on cell type.
Journal ArticleDOI

MAIT Cells Are Major Contributors to the Cytokine Response in Group A Streptococcal Toxic Shock Syndrome.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that MAIT cells are strongly activated and represent the major T cell source of IFNγ and TNF in the early stages of response to GAS, and are therefore likely to contribute to the pathological cytokine storm underlying STSS.
Journal ArticleDOI

Distinct cavemoviruses interact synergistically with sweet potato chlorotic stunt virus (genus Crinivirus) in cultivated sweet potato

TL;DR: Two serologically unrelated sweet potato viruses causing symptoms of vein clearing in the indicator plant Ipomoea setosa were isolated and their genomes have been sequenced, giving further support to the previously suggested separation of TVCV, and related viral sequences, into a new caulimovirid genus.
Journal ArticleDOI

The preventive strategy for pandemics in the elderly is to collect in advance samples & data to counteract chronic inflammation (inflammaging).

TL;DR: It is suggested that more samples should be taken and saved systematically, following minimum standards, and data be made available, to maximize healthspan & minimize frailty, leading to savings in health care, gains in quality of life, and preparing us better for the next pandemic, all at the same time.
