High CO2 decreases the long-term resilience of the free-living coralline algae Phymatolithon lusitanicum [PDF]
Maerl/rhodolith beds are protected habitats that may be affected by ocean acidification (OA), but it is still unclear how the availability of CO2 will affect the metabolism of these organisms.

Expression analysis of HLA-E and NKG2A and NKG2C receptors points at a role for natural killer function in ankylosing spondylitis [PDF]
Background. Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) is a complex chronic inflammatory disease strongly associated with the majority of HLA-B27 alleles. HLA-E are non-classical MHC class I molecules that specifically interact with the natural killer receptors NKG2A ...

High-throughput identification of genotype-specific cancer vulnerabilities in mixtures of barcoded tumor cell lines. [PDF]
Hundreds of genetically characterized cell lines are available for the discovery of genotype-specific cancer vulnerabilities. However, screening large numbers of compounds against large numbers of cell lines is currently impractical, and such experiments

Approaches to overcome flow cytometry limitations in the analysis of cells from veterinary relevant species [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Flow cytometry is a powerful tool for the multiparameter analysis of leukocyte subsets on the single cell level. Recent advances have greatly increased the number of fluorochrome-labeled antibodies in flow cytometry.

A comparative study is presented of the two phycoerythrins of the unicellular red alga Porphyridium cruentum. Native B-phycoerythrin has a molecular weight of 236,000 +/- 18,000 in 0.05 M potassium phosphate at pH 7.0, and an absorption spectrum with maxima at 545 nm (epsilonM = 2.41 X 10(6) M-1 cm-1) and 563 nm, and a shoulder at 498 nm.

Costs and Limitations of Marine Synechococcus Blue-Green Chromatic Acclimation
Benefits and trade-offs of blue/green chromatic acclimation (CA4) have received limited study. We investigated the energetic costs associated with executing chromatic acclimation using a fluorescence-based calculation of light use efficiency.

The potential role of T-cells and their interaction with antigen-presenting cells in mediating immunosuppression following trauma-hemorrhage [PDF]
Objective: Trauma-hemorrhage results in depressed immune responses of antigen-presenting cells (APCs) and T-cells. Recent studies suggest a key role of depressed T-cell derived interferon (IFN)-g in this complex immune cell interaction.
