    Abstract Objective: Asthma is a chronic lung disease comprising multiple endotypes and characterized by periodic exacerbations. A diverse array of T cells has been found to contribute to all endotypes of asthma in pathogenic and regulatory roles. Here, we review the contributions of CD4+, CD8+, and unconventional T cells in allergic and nonallergic asthma.
    Data sources: Review of published literature pertaining to conventional and unconventional T-cell types in asthma.
    Study selections: Recent peer-reviewed articles pertaining to T cells in asthma, with additional peer-reviewed studies for context.
    Results: Much research in asthma has focused on the roles of CD4+ T
    Conclusion: Given the diversity and heterogeneity of asthma and T-cell responses, there remain many rich avenues for research to better understand the pathogenesis of asthma. Despite the breadth of T cells in asthma, approved therapeutics remain limited to T

    Series title Arthurian Studies
    Abstract The Grail legends have been appropriated by novelists as diverse as Umberto Eco and Dan Brown yet very few have read for themselves the original stories from which they came. All the mystery and drama of the Arthurian world are embodied in the extraordinary tales of Perceval, Gawain, Lancelot and Galahad in pursuit of the Holy Grail. The original romances, full of bewildering contradictions and composed by a number of different writers, dazzle with the sheer wealth of their conflicting imagination. In Nigel Bryant's hands, this enthralling material becomes truly accessible. He has constr

    Abstract Flooding rice fields in the US mid-south during the fallow season (November-March) for migratory waterfowl habitats provides revenue from hunting-related activities and helps with soil retention and water quality. However, flooding has the potential to increase greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Research on GHG emissions in US mid-south during the fallow season has been limited. Eddy covariance (EC) systems measuring CO2 and CH4 fluxes were installed during the 2015-2016, 2016-2017, and 2017-2018 fallow seasons at paired production-sized fields in NE Arkansas. Rice residue was burned after harvest at both field locations. The paired fields were separated by an access road and consisted of one field flooded (F) with precipitation by installing barriers to prevent drainage and the other field allowed to drain or non-flooded field (NF). Flooding did not influence CO2 emissions during the fallow season significantly. However, F fields emitted 45±2% more CH4 than NF fields. The three-year fallow season average was 1408±185 kg CO2-C ha-1 season-1 and 12.5±2.0 kg CH4-C ha-1 season-1 in F fields and 1355±132 kg CO2-C ha-1 season-1 and 8.6±1.4 kg CH4-C ha-1 season-1 in NF fields. Methane contributed 5 to 10% global warming potential (GWP), reported as CO2 equivalents from CO2 and CH4 measurements. The three-year fallow season average GWP was not different by treatment. Increases in fallow season GWP were noted to increase after rice cultivation. These findings will improve our overall understanding and modeling of GHG emissions from agricultural fields during an understudied but important period of the year.

    Abstract Flooding rice fields in the U.S. mid-south during the fallow season (November-March) for migratory bird habitats provides revenue from hunting-related activities and helps with soil retention and water quality. However, flooding has the potential to increase greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Research on GHG emissions during this time has been limited. Eddy covariance (EC) systems measuring CO(2)nd CH4 fluxes were installed during the 2015-2016, 2016-2017, and 2017-2018 fallow seasons and during the previous growing seasons at paired fields in NE Arkansas. The paired fields consisted of one field flooded (F) with precipitation by installing barriers to prevent drainage and the other field allowed to drain or non-flooded (NF). Emissions from the fallow season accounted for 32-34% of the growing season CO( 2missions and 20-22% of growing season CH4 emissions, with fallow flooding contributing roughly 2% more than NF fields. Flooding did not influence CO(2)missions significantly. However, considering only the fallow season, F fields emitted 45±2% more CH4 than NF fields. The three-year fallow season average was 1355±132 kg CO(2) ha(-1)eason(-1)nd 8.6±1.4 kg CH4-C ha(-1)eason(-1)n NF fields, and 1408±185 kg CO(-) ha(-1)eason(-1)nd 12.5±2.0 kg CH4-C ha(-1)eason(-1)n F fields. Methane contributed on average 7±1% to total fallow season global warming potential (GWP), reported as CO( 2)uivalents from CO(2) and H4 measurements. The three-year fallow season average GWP was not different by treatment. Increases in fallow season GWP were noted to increase after rice cultivation. These findings will improve our overall understanding and modeling of GHG emissions from agricultural fields during an understudied but important period of the year.

    Abstract Despite the availability of vaccines, equine influenza virus (EIV) continues to pose a threat to the racing industry. The virus spreads rapidly in unprotected populations and large scale outbreaks, such as those in South Africa in 2003 and Australia in 2007, can cost billions of pounds. Like other influenza viruses, EIV undergoes antigenic variation, enabling it to evade antibodies generated against previous infection or vaccination. The UK has an active surveillance programme to monitor antigenic drift and participates in an international collaboration with other countries in Europe, Japan and the USA to select suitable vaccine strains. Selection is primarily based upon characterisation of the viral haemagglutinin (HA), the surface protein that induces a protective antibody response; this protein is an important component of commercial vaccines. In recent years vaccine technology has improved and diagnostic methods have become increasingly sensitive, both play a crucial part in facilitating the international movement of horses. Mathematical modelling techniques have been applied to study the risk factors involved in outbreaks and provide valuable information about the impact of vaccination. Other factors, such as pathogenicity, are poorly understood for EIV yet may play an important role in the spread of a particular virus. They may also affect the ability of the virus to cross the species barrier, as seen with the transfer to dogs in the USA. Severity of infection is likely to be influenced by more than one gene, but differences in the NS1 protein are believed to influence the cytokine response in the horse and have been manipulated to produce potential vaccine strains.

    Abstract Pathogenic missense variants in the leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) gene have been identified through linkage analysis in familial Parkinson disease (PD). Subsequently, other missense variants with lower effect sizes on PD risk have emerged, as well as non-coding polymorphisms (e.g. rs76904798) enriched in PD cases in genome-wide association studies. Here we leverage recent whole-genome sequences from the Accelerating Medicines Partnership-Parkinson's Disease (AMP-PD) and the Genome Aggregation (gnomAD) databases to characterize novel missense variants in LRRK2 and explore their relationships with known pathogenic and PD-linked missense variants. Using a computational prediction tool that successfully classifies known pathogenic LRRK2 missense variants, we describe an online web-based resource that catalogs characteristics of over 1200 LRRK2 missense variants of unknown significance. Novel high-pathogenicity scoring variants, some identified exclusively in PD cases, tightly cluster within the ROC-COR-Kinase domains. Structure-function predictions support that some of these variants exert gain-of-function effects with respect to LRRK2 kinase activity. In AMP-PD participants, all p.R1441G carriers (N = 89) are also carriers of the more common PD-linked variant p.M1646T. In addition, nearly all carriers of the PD-linked p.N2081D missense variant are also carriers of the LRRK2 PD-risk variant rs76904798. These results provide a compendium of LRRK2 missense variants and how they associate with one another. While the pathogenic p.G2019S variant is by far the most frequent high-pathogenicity scoring variant, our results suggest that ultra-rare missense variants may have an important cumulative impact in increasing the number of individuals with LRRK2-linked PD.
