Resilient Biophysical Phenotype of Memory CD4 ⁺ T Cells in Long-Lived Mice. [PDF]

Immunology
Aging is associated with increased stiffness and reduced migratory capacity of memory CD4+ T cells; however, these biophysical declines do not persist in exceptionally long‐lived mice. Instead, long‐lived individuals preserve T cell mechanics, migration and intracellular architecture, supporting mechanical resilience as a hallmark of successful immune ...

Grazing Modulates the Multiscale Spatial Structure of Dryland Vegetation. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
We studied how grazing pressure affects plant spatial patterns in drylands by using satellite images, field plant size and abundance data, and a mathematical model. We found that increasing grazing pressure has opposite effects on vegetation spatial structure to those of aridity, which might be explained by the fact that grazing decreases plant size ...
