Why is it so difficult to understand why we don’t understand human systemic lupus erythematosus? Contemplating facts, conflicts, and impact of “the causality cascade paradigm”... by Ole Petter Rekvig, Ole Petter Rekvig

“…A precise and critically important question is if SLE itself is a response to a dominant unified cause that initiates a cascade of downstream effects (criteria) or if SLE represents combined responses to a random interplay of multiple cause-effect events. These principally different explanations are formally not excluded or accepted today. …”

Optimized scaffold-free human 3D adipose tissue organoid culture for obesity and disease modeling by Rafael Dariolli, Raphael Nir, Tova Mushlam, Glauco R. Souza, Stephen R. Farmer, Miguel L Batista, Jr.

“…As adipocytes maturate and accumulate fat, they develop organotypic characteristics, increasing the buoyancy effect, which causes the organoids to oscillate, complicating culture manipulation and rendering multiple handling steps difficult.Due to these challenges, most adipose spheroid and organoid models are scaffold-based, despite many cell types' ability to secrete extracellular matrix (ECM) components and self-assemble into aggregates. …”

Different MHC class I cell surface expression levels in diverse chicken lines, associations with B blood group, and proposed relationship to antigen-binding repertoire by Michael Kaiser, Jim Kaufman, Susan J. Lamont

“…The two sublines (B5.1 and B15.2) of the Fayoumi breed, which significantly differed in their MHC class I expression, also differ in response to multiple pathogens. These defined genetic lines of chickens, with distinct MHC class I expression levels, provide an excellent platform to further interrogate the hypothesis of high or low MHC class I expression (antigenic specialists or generalists, respectively) determining diverse responses to pathogens.…”

Nitrogen and water additions with or without mowing altered soil microbial community characteristics in a semi-arid steppe by Hao Liu, Feirong Ren, Shiqiang Wan, Shijie Han, Junqiang Zheng

“…Despite their essential ecological and economic role, how their microbial communities react to multiple varying factors remain obscure. In this study, we simulated three global change drivers, i.e., nitrogen deposition (ambient N vs. elevated N, aN vs. eN), precipitation increase (ambient precipitation vs. elevated precipitation, aP vs. eP), and mowing, represented experimentally by clipping (unclipped vs. clipped, uC vs. …”
