Recent calls to do climate policy research with, rather than for, stakeholders have been answered in non-modelling science. Notwithstanding progress in modelling literature, however, very little of the scenario space traces back to what stakeholders are ultimately concerned about. With a suite of eleven integrated assessment, energy system and sectoral models, we carry out a model inter-comparison for the EU, the scenario logic and research questions of which have been formulated based on stakeholders' concerns.

Article Synopsis
  • Researchers investigated how the type 1 (IFN1) and type 2 (IFN2) interferon pathways are activated in various types of myositis, including dermatomyositis (DM), antisynthetase syndrome (AS), immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM), and inclusion body myositis (IBM) using RNA sequencing from muscle biopsies.
  • Results showed that IFN1 genes were highly expressed in DM, moderately in AS, and low in IMNM and IBM, while IFN2 genes were high in DM, AS, and IBM but low in IMNM.
  • The differences in activation of these pathways could inform treatment strategies, as certain immunosuppressive drugs might be
