Cardiopulmonary bypass activates classical monocytes via shear-mediated activation of Store-Operated Calcium Entry

W. Li, L. N. Tu, L. Hsieh, J. R. Smith, Y.-T. Yeh, A. Sinyagin, M. Ghassemian, A. Timms, K. Charette, D. Mauchley, M. McMullan, L. Bohuta, C. Greene, M. Regier, J. C. del Alamo, , V. Nigam

The paper identifies SPTAN1 and RAF1 as genes activated by shear stress during cardiopulmonary bypass, leading to inflammation and cell death through store-operated calcium entry.

Analysis of wild plant pathogen populations reveals a signal of adaptation in genes evolving for survival in agriculture in the beet rust pathogen (Uromyces beticola)

M. McMullan, L. Percival-Alwyn, K. Sawford, G. Kaithakottil, M. Grey, H. Yvanne, R. Low, S. Warring, D. Heavens, N. Peel, J. Kroboth, M. Stevens, D. Swarbreck, M. Clark, N. Hall

The paper compares genetic diversity in wild and agricultural populations of the beet rust pathogen to identify genes adapting to agriculture, finding greater divergence in fungal effector genes.

Distinct life histories impact dikaryotic genome evolution in the rust fungus Puccinia striiformis causing stripe rust in wheat

B. Schwessinger, Y.-J. Chen, R. Tien, J. K. Vogt, J. Sperschneider, R. Nagar, M. McMullan, T. Sicheritz-Ponten, C. Sorensen, M. S. Hovmoller, J. Rathjen, A. Fejer Justesen

This study compares two isolates of the wheat rust fungus Puccinia striiformis with different life histories, finding that long-term asexual evolution leads to genome expansion, transposable element accumulation, and increased heterozygosity.
