Distinct plasmablast developmental intermediates produce graded expression of IgM secretory transcripts by Evelyn P. Sievert, Marissa C. Franke, Kayla B. Thomas, Yoseop Yoon, Yongsheng Shi, Roger Sciammas

“…Summary: Differentiation into plasma cells (PCs) enables secretion of ∼10,000 immunoglobulin molecules per second. This extraordinary capacity requires the upregulation of PC transcriptional determinants that specify PC fate, increase immunoglobulin mRNA synthesis, coordinate alternative 3′ end processing of the heavy chain transcript from the distal to proximal polyadenylation site (PAS), and remodel the secretory pathway. …”

Electricity- and hydrogen-driven energy system sector-coupling in net-zero CO2 emission pathways by Bob van der Zwaan, Amir Fattahi, Francesco Dalla Longa, Mark Dekker, Detlef van Vuuren, Robert Pietzcker, Renato Rodrigues, Felix Schreyer, Daniel Huppmann, Johannes Emmerling, Stefan Pfenninger, Francesco Lombardi, Panagiotis Fragkos, Maria Kannavou, Theofano Fotiou, Giannis Tolios, Will Usher

“…Energy system and integrated assessment models show that, to follow pathways compatible with the European policy target of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, large amounts of renewable electricity and H2 need to be generated, mostly by scaling-up wind and solar energy production capacity. With a set of such models, under jointly adopted deep decarbonisation scenario assumptions, we here show that the ensuing direct penetration of electricity and H2 in final energy consumption may rise to average shares of around 60% and 6%, respectively, by 2050. …”
