Genome size is positively correlated with extinction risk in herbaceous angiosperms

M. S. Gomez, M. J. Brown, S. Pironon, P. Vesely, P. Bures, T. L. Elliott, F. Zedek, J. Pellicer, F. Forest, E. N. Lughadha, I. J. Leitch

The paper finds that larger genome sizes in herbaceous angiosperms are associated with higher extinction risk, independent of climate and endemism, and may serve as a proxy for resilience and vulnerability.

CD4+ T cell lymphopenia and dysfunction in severe COVID-19 disease is autocrine TNF-α/TNFRI-dependent

I. Popescu, M. E. Snyder, C. J. Iasella, S. J. Hannan, R. Koshy, R. Burke, A. Das, M. J. Brown, E. J. Lyons, S. C. Lieber, X. Chen, J. C. Sembrat, X. An, K. Linstrum, G. Kitsios, , J. F. McDyer

The paper shows that autocrine TNF-α/TNFRI signaling drives CD4+ T cell lymphopenia and dysfunction in severe COVID-19, and TNF-α blockade improves outcomes.
