TL;DR: Findings are that members of the Roseobacter lineage cannot be easily collapsed into just a few ecologically differentiated clusters (that is, there are almost as many clusters as isolates); the strongest framework for predicting genome content is trophic strategy, but no single framework gives robust predictions; and previously unknown homologs to genes for H2 oxidation, proteorhodopsin- based phototrophy, xanthorhodpsin-based phototROphy, and CO2

TL;DR: In this article, two types of impacts on human and ecological systems are examined: (i) impacts of extreme weather and climate events; and (ii) extreme impacts triggered by less-than-extreme weather or climate events (in combination with nonclimatic factors, such as high exposure and/or vulnerability).
Journal ArticleDOI
IL-12 is required for differentiation of pathogenic CD8 + T cell effectors that cause myocarditis
Nir Grabie,Michael W. Delfs,Jason R. Westrich,Victoria A. Love,George Stavrakis,Ferhaan Ahmad,Christine E. Seidman,Jonathan G. Seidman,Andrew H. Lichtman +8 more
TL;DR: Analysis of OT-I effectors collected from a mediastinal draining lymph node indicated that only effectors primed in vitro in the presence of IL-12 proliferated in vivo, demonstrating the importance ofIL-12 in the differentiation of pathogenic CD8(+) T cells that can cause myocarditis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Saharan dust nutrients promote Vibrio bloom formation in marine surface waters
Jason R. Westrich,Alina M. Ebling,William M. Landing,Jessica Joyner,Keri M. Kemp,Dale W. Griffin,Erin K. Lipp +6 more
TL;DR: This study is the first to describe Vibrio response to Saharan dust nutrients, having implications at the intersection of marine ecology, Fe biogeochemistry, and both human and environmental health.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neutrophils Sustain Pathogenic CD8+ T Cell Responses in the Heart
Nir Grabie,Dennis T. Hsieh,Chiara Buono,Jason R. Westrich,Jessica A. Allen,Hong Pang,George Stavrakis,Andrew H. Lichtman +7 more
TL;DR: Data show that granulocytic inflammation sustains CD8(+) T-cell-mediated heart disease, which has important implications for the pathogenesis and treatment of acute myocarditis and allograft rejection.
