Generating viral metagenomes from the coral holobiont
Reef-building corals comprise multipartite symbioses where the cnidarian animal is host to an array of eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms, and the viruses that infect them. These viruses are critical elements of the coral holobiont, serving not only as

Objective We previously showed that Semaphorin4A (Sema4A) is elevated in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) and promotes inflammation and fibrosis in vitro. Here, we examined the effect of Sema4A neutralization in vivo and in 3D fibrosis models. Methods Sema4A plasma levels were measured by ELISA in healthy controls (n=31) and patients with SSc (n=
