TL;DR: An evolutionary definition of a cell type is proposed that allows cell types to be delineated and compared within and between species, and the distinction between developmental and evolutionary lineages is discussed.
Abstract: Cell types are the basic building blocks of multicellular organisms and are extensively diversified in animals. Despite recent advances in characterizing cell types, classification schemes remain ambiguous. We propose an evolutionary definition of a cell type that allows cell types to be delineated and compared within and between species. Key to cell type identity are evolutionary changes in the 'core regulatory complex' (CoRC) of transcription factors, that make emergent sister cell types distinct, enable their independent evolution and regulate cell type-specific traits termed apomeres. We discuss the distinction between developmental and evolutionary lineages, and present a roadmap for future research.

TL;DR: The WHO Nomenclature Committee for Factors of the HLA System has decided to publish an interim report listing updated tables of alleles including those assigned since the publication of the last full report in 2002.

Marsh Anthony Nolan Research Institute Royal Free Hospital Pond Street Hampstead London NW3 2QG UK Tel.: þ442072848321 Fax: þ442072848331 e-mail: marsh@ebi.ac.uk Following the decision to hold their next full meeting after the 14th International Histocompatibility Workshop in 2005, the WHO Nomenclature Committee for Factors of the HLA System has decided to publish an interim report listing updated tables of alleles including those assigned since the publication of the last full report in 2002 (1). The alleles named during the period follow the principles established in previous reports (1–17).

TL;DR: The quality of the quantum teleportation procedure without feed-forward is confirmed, well beyond the classical limit of two-thirds, and the maturity and applicability of such technologies in real-world scenarios are verified, in particular for future satellite-based quantum teleportation.
Abstract: The benchmark for a global quantum internet — quantum teleportation of independent qubits using active feed-forward over a free-space link whose attenuation corresponds to the path between a satellite and a ground station — has now been successfully achieved over a distance of 143 km, between the Canary Islands of La Palma and Tenerife. Since the first experimental demonstration of quantum teleportation — a central component of quantum communication and quantum computation — physicists have gradually extended the distance over which the quantum information is distributed. This paper reports long-distance quantum teleportation involving active feed-forward in real time, a feature that will be essential for future applications such as communication between quantum computers. Using two optical links, quantum and classical, quantum teleportation of an independent state was achieved across a 'record' 143 km of free space between the Canary Islands of La Palma and Tenerife. Significantly, this route bears comparison with the path between a satellite and a ground station. The quantum internet1 is predicted to be the next-generation information processing platform, promising secure communication2,3 and an exponential speed-up in distributed computation2,4. The distribution of single qubits over large distances via quantum teleportation5 is a key ingredient for realizing such a global platform. By using quantum teleportation, unknown quantum states can be transferred over arbitrary distances to a party whose location is unknown. Since the first experimental demonstrations of quantum teleportation of independent external qubits6, an internal qubit7 and squeezed states8, researchers have progressively extended the communication distance. Usually this occurs without active feed-forward of the classical Bell-state measurement result, which is an essential ingredient in future applications such as communication between quantum computers. The benchmark for a global quantum internet is quantum teleportation of independent qubits over a free-space link whose attenuation corresponds to the path between a satellite and a ground station. Here we report such an experiment, using active feed-forward in real time. The experiment uses two free-space optical links, quantum and classical, over 143 kilometres between the two Canary Islands of La Palma and Tenerife. To achieve this, we combine advanced techniques involving a frequency-uncorrelated polarization-entangled photon pair source, ultra-low-noise single-photon detectors and entanglement-assisted clock synchronization. The average teleported state fidelity is well beyond the classical limit9 of two-thirds. Furthermore, we confirm the quality of the quantum teleportation procedure without feed-forward by complete quantum process tomography. Our experiment verifies the maturity and applicability of such technologies in real-world scenarios, in particular for future satellite-based quantum teleportation.

TL;DR: The results indicate that patients with pre‐existing coronary artery disease and an increased MPV are at higher risk of myocardial infarction, which can be easily identified during routine haematological analysis and could possibly benefit from preventive treatment.
Abstract: After rupture of an arteriosclerotic plaque in a coronary artery, platelets play a crucial role in the subsequent thrombus formation, leading to myocardial infarction. An increased mean platelet volume (MPV), as an indicator of larger, more reactive platelets, may represent a risk factor for myocardial infarction. However, this hypothesis is still controversial and most studies addressing the role of MPV were performed comparing patients suffering from myocardial infarction with healthy controls. We intended to identify patients at high risk of suffering myocardial infarction in a group of patients with known coronary artery disease. One hundred and eighty-five consecutive patients with stable coronary artery disease were compared with 188 individuals who had suffered myocardial infarction. Patients within the highest quintile of MPV (> or = 11.6 fl) had a significantly higher risk of experiencing a myocardial infarction compared with patients within the lowest quintile (OR = 2.6, 95% CI 1.3-5.1) in a multivariate analysis that included sex, age, body mass index, hyperlipidaemia, hypertension, smoking and diabetes mellitus. Our results indicate that patients with pre-existing coronary artery disease and an increased MPV (> or = 11.6 fl) are at higher risk of myocardial infarction. These patients can be easily identified during routine haematological analysis and could possibly benefit from preventive treatment.
