Phylogenomic analysis reveals exceptions to the co-evolution of ZAR1 and ZRK immune gene families in plants by Li Yang, Shengyi Liu, M. Eric Schranz, Klaas Bouwmeester

“…Here we now report other exceptions on the concerted ZAR1-A–ZRKs presence-absence pattern within several early diverging monocot lineages, including the genome of Acorus tatarinowii—a species representing the first branching monocot lineage. We also revealed strong variation in ZAR1-A–ZRKs co-occurrence within the asterid order Ericales, suggesting patterns of de-coevolution in angiosperms. …”

R&D Expenditure and Innovation in the EU and Selected Member States by Radka MacGregor Pelikánová

“…This highly original study answers all three questions – (i) the 3% threshold is not met in the larger part of the EU, (ii) the number of patent applications and granted patents keep growing along with digitalization, and (iii) the possibility of a relationship between these factors and trends exists, but is not conclusive or dramatically strong. This generates a set of original suggestions, such as that the differences between EU member states regarding innovations do not vanish and that although the Europe 2020 3% threshold is not met, the number of patented inventions and the practical digitalization can still grow across the EU. …”

Exhaustion of CD8pos central memory regulatory T cell differentiation is involved in renal allograft rejection by Florian Kälble, Jonas Leonhard, Jonas Leonhard, Martin Zeier, Oliver Zivanovic, Matthias Schaier, Andrea Steinborn

“…We were investigating whether changed differentiation of CCR7posCD45RAposCD31pos recent thymic emigrant (RTE) cells via CD45RAnegCD31pos memory (CD31pos memory) cells (pathway 1), via direct proliferation (pathway 2), or via CCR7posCD45RA+CD31neg resting mature naïve (MN) cells (pathway 3) into CD45RAnegCD31neg memory (CD31neg memory) cells affects the CD8pos Treg/Tresp ratio or identifies a CD8pos Treg/Tresp subset that predicts or confirms renal allograft rejection.ResultsWe found that RTE Treg differentiation via pathway 1 was age-independently increased in KTR, who developed graft rejection during the follow-up period, leading to abundant MN Treg and central memory Treg (CM Treg) production and favoring a strongly increased CD8pos Treg/Tresp ratio. In KTR with biopsy-confirmed rejection at the time of enrolment, an increased differentiation of RTE Tregs into CCR7negCD45RAposCD31neg terminally differentiated effector memory (CD31neg TEMRA Tregs) and CD31pos memory Tregs was observed. …”
