A Mutation in IL4RA Is Associated with the Degree of Pathology in Human TB Patients by Christoph Hölscher, Lisa Heitmann, Ellis Owusu-Dabo, Rolf D. Horstmann, Christian G. Meyer, Stefan Ehlers, Thorsten Thye

“…To validate our results in human TB patients, we here determined the association of distinct variants of the IL4, IL13, IL4RA, IL13RA1, and IL13RA2 genes with cavity formation in a large Ghanaian cohort of HIV-negative individuals with newly diagnosed pulmonary TB. In fact, the structural variant of the IL4RA I50V, previously shown to result in enhanced signal transduction, was significantly associated with greater cavity size, and a variant of IL13RA2 was associated with disease in females. …”

Optimizing Reversible Phase‐Transformation of FeS2 Anode via Atomic‐Interface Engineering Toward Fast‐Charging Sodium Storage: Theoretical Predication and Experimental Validation... by Wenxi Zhao, Yanbing Zhou, Hao Zhou, Xinqin Wang, Shengjun Sun, Xun He, Yongsong Luo, Binwu Ying, Yongchao Yao, Xiaoqing Ma, Xuping Sun

“…Abstract Sodium‐storage performance of pyrite FeS2 is greatly improved by constructing various FeS2‐based nanostructures to optimize its ion‐transport kinetics and structural stability. However, less attention has been paid to rapid capacity degradation and electrode failure caused by the irreversible phase‐transition of intermediate NaxFeS2 to FeS2 and polysulfides dissolution upon cycling. …”
