TL;DR: Substantial geographic coincidence between high diversity in cattle milk genes, locations of the European Neolithic cattle farming sites and present-day lactose tolerance in Europeans suggests a gene-culture coevolution between cattle and humans.
Abstract: Milk from domestic cows has been a valuable food source for over 8,000 years, especially in lactose-tolerant human societies that exploit dairy breeds. We studied geographic patterns of variation in genes encoding the six most important milk proteins in 70 native European cattle breeds. We found substantial geographic coincidence between high diversity in cattle milk genes, locations of the European Neolithic cattle farming sites (>5,000 years ago) and present-day lactose tolerance in Europeans. This suggests a gene-culture coevolution between cattle and humans.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the performance and photostability of metal halide perovskites across a compositional space of formamidinium (FA) and cesium (Cs) at the A-site at various halide compositions.
Abstract: Metal halide perovskites are attractive candidates for the wide band gap absorber in tandem solar cells. While their band gap can be tuned by partial halide substitution, mixed halide perovskites often have lower open-circuit voltage than would be expected and experience photoinduced trap formation caused by halide segregation. We investigate solar cell performance and photostability across a compositional space of formamidinium (FA) and cesium (Cs) at the A-site at various halide compositions and show that using more Cs at the A-site rather than more Br at the X-site to raise band gap is more ideal as it improves both VOC and photostability. We develop band gap maps and design criteria for the selection of perovskite compositions within the CsxFA1–xPb(BryI1–y)3, space. With this, we identify perovskites with tandem-relevant band gaps of 1.68 and 1.75 eV that demonstrate high device efficiencies of 17.4 and 16.3%, respectively, and significantly improved photostability compared to that of the higher Br-co...

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that human NK cells express TLR3, TLR7, and TLR8 and that these receptors are functional and that while resting NK cells do not transduce signals directly in response to R848, they can be primed to do so by prior exposure to either IL-2 or IFN-α.
Abstract: NK cells express receptors that allow them to recognize pathogens and activate effector functions such as cytotoxicity and cytokine production. Among these receptors are the recently identified TLRs that recognize conserved pathogen structures and initiate innate immune responses. We demonstrate that human NK cells express TLR3, TLR7, and TLR8 and that these receptors are functional. TLR3 is expressed at the cell surface where it functions as a receptor for polyinosinic acid:cytidylic acid (poly(I:C)) in a lysosomal-independent manner. TLR7/8 signaling is sensitive to chloroquine inhibition, indicating a requirement for lysosomal signaling as for other cell types. Both R848, an agonist of human TLR7 and TLR8, and poly(I:C) activate NK cell cytotoxicity against Daudi target cells. However, IFN-gamma production is differentially regulated by these TLR agonists. In contrast to poly(I:C), R848 stimulates significant IFN-gamma production by NK cells. This is accessory cell dependent and is inhibited by addition of a neutralizing anti-IL-12 Ab. Moreover, stimulation of purified monocyte populations with R848 results in IL-12 production, and reconstitution of purified NK cells with monocytes results in increased IFN-gamma production in response to R848. In addition, we demonstrate that while resting NK cells do not transduce signals directly in response to R848, they can be primed to do so by prior exposure to either IL-2 or IFN-alpha. Therefore, although NK cells can be directly activated by TLRs, accessory cells play an important and sometimes essential role in the activation of effector functions such as IFN-gamma production and cytotoxicity.

TL;DR: In this paper, a temperature ordered diagram for the Schrieffer-Wolff limit of the Anderson model is presented, where the propagators, self energies and the static susceptibilities are calculated.
Abstract: A new method is described which permits the use of temperature ordered diagrams for the Schrieffer-Wolff limit of the Anderson model. The propagators, self energies and the static susceptibilities are calculated. The structure of a magnetic impurity is discussed.

TL;DR: A key role for mononuclear phagocytes in the pathogenesis of major psychiatric disorders is described and it is shown that microglia activation impacts neuronal development and function in brain areas congruent with the altered depressive and schizophrenia‐like behaviors.
Abstract: This review describes a key role for mononuclear phagocytes in the pathogenesis of major psychiatric disorders. There is accumulating evidence for activation of microglia (histopathology and PET scans) and circulating monocytes (enhanced gene expression of immune genes, an overproduction of monocyte/macro-phage-related cytokines) in patients with bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, and schizophrenia. These data are strengthened by observations in animal models, such as the MIA models, the chronic stress models, and the NOD mouse model. In these animal models of depressive-, anxiety-, and schizophrenia-like behavior, similar activations of microglia and circulating monocytes can be found. These animal models also make in-depth pathogenic studies possible and show that microglia activation impacts neuronal development and function in brain areas congruent with the altered depressive and schizophrenia-like behaviors.
