Identification of Gene Targets for the Sprouting Inhibitor CIPC by Thomas M. Grand, James K. Pitman, Alexander L. Williams, Lisa M. Smith, Andrew J. Fleming

“…This involved RNAseq analysis of dissected, staged tuber buds during in vitro sprouting with and without CIPC to identify lead genes, followed by the development and application of an Arabidopsis root assay to assess cell division response to CIPC in selected mutants. The ease of use of this model plant, coupled with its immense genetic resources, allowed us to test the functionality of lead genes encoding cell‐division–associated proteins in the modulation of plant growth response to CIPC. …”

Tumor-specific CD8+ T cells from the bone marrow resist exhaustion and exhibit increased persistence in tumor-bearing hosts as compared with tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes by Ivan Borrello, Amy Thomas, Luca Biavati, Robert Leone, Elizabeth M Zawidzka, Claudio Zanettini, Luigi Marchionni

“…Importantly, in a competitive transfer experiment, BM T cells infiltrated the tumor more efficiently than TILs, displayed a higher polyfunctionality with interleukin-2, interferon-γ, tumor necrosis factor-α production and showed greater persistence compared with TILs.Conclusions T cells from the BM appear superior to TILs as a source of cells for cellular therapy. They possess a memory-enriched phenotype and exhibit improved effector function, greater persistence within a tumor-bearing host, and the capacity for increased tumor infiltration. …”

Territorial Self-Government: From Local Communities to Self-Governing Community by O. M. Roy

“…Recognizing these characteristics will help establish stable boundaries for the activities of self-governing communities using the so-called Functional Self-Governance Limit (FSG). This concept is necessary for evaluating (within socially accepted and rational limits) the costs of using a centralized governance model versus resolving community issues primarily through internal resources. …”
