Septoria tritici blotch (STB) is an important foliar disease of wheat that is caused by the fungal pathogen . The grass has been used previously as a model system for cereal-pathogen interactions. In this study, we examined the nonhost resistance (NHR) response of to two different isolates in comparison with wheat. These isolates vary in aggressiveness on wheat cultivar Remus, displaying significant differences in disease and pycnidia coverage. Using microscopy, we found that similar isolate-specific responses were observed for hydrogen peroxide accumulation and cell death in both wheat and . Despite this, induction of isolate-specific patterns of defense gene expression by did differ between and wheat. Our results suggest that expression of the phenylalanine ammonia lyase gene may be important for NHR in , while pathogenesis-related genes and expression of genes regulating reactive oxygen species may be important to limit disease in wheat. Future studies of the - interaction may allow identification of conserved plant immunity targets that are responsible for the isolate-specific responses observed in both plant species.

Shifts in host-associated microbiomes can impact both host and microbes. It is of interest to understand how perturbations, like the introduction of exogenous chemicals, impact microbiomes. In poison frogs (family Dendrobatidae), the skin microbiome is exposed to alkaloids that the frogs sequester for defense.

  • Research indicates that tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) are linked to cancer prognosis and responses to immunotherapy, but details about their predictive value and specific immune cells involved are not well understood.* -
  • A new bioinformatics scoring system, called TLSscore, was developed using TLS-related genes to analyze head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, revealing that it can effectively predict survival, immune cell behavior, and how patients respond to treatments.* -
  • The study identifies a specific subtype of T cells within TLS, called PD1CXCL13CD8T cells, which may play a crucial role in fighting tumors and could serve as a potential marker for prognosis and a target for future therapies.*

As organizations face constant pressures to respond to changing situations and emergent demands, team members are frequently called upon to change their processes and routines and adapt to new ways of working together. In examining adaptation, most researchers have taken a behavior-driven approach where they collapse across the many types of adaptive demands teams face and rely on traditional input-process-outcome frameworks (e.g.

The study by Sasahara et al. (2008) offers a comprehensive exploration of the molecular mechanisms underlying cerebral vasospasm following subarachnoid hemorrhage, utilizing genome-wide microarray technology and network-based analysis in a canine model. Their work identifies significant gene expression changes, particularly in IL-6, IL-8, and CCL2, which are implicated in cell signaling, host-pathogen interactions, and immune responses.

  • The 2017/18 influenza season saw a surge in severe infections mostly caused by influenza B viruses of the Yamagata lineage, linked to a poor match with the vaccine.
  • Researchers analyzed three 2018 IBV isolates from severely symptomatic patients and found that these isolates had unique mutations and improved replication capabilities compared to a 2016 isolate.
  • Findings show that the severe flu season was not just due to vaccine mismatches but also because the circulating IBV strains had adapted better to the human respiratory system, including evading immune responses.
