Antagonism of BST2/Tetherin, a new restriction factor of respiratory syncytial virus, requires the viral NS1 protein. by Katherine Marougka, Delphine Judith, Tristan Jaouen, Sabine Blouquit-Laye, Gina Cosentino, Clarisse Berlioz-Torrent, Marie-Anne Rameix-Welti, Delphine Sitterlin

“…Moreover, NS1 and BST2 interact in a co- immunoprecipitation experiment. Overall, our data support a model in which BST2 is a restriction factor against RSV infection and that the virus counteracts this effect by limiting the cellular factor's expression through a mechanism involving the viral protein NS1.…”

CADM1 is a key receptor mediating human mast cell adhesion to human lung fibroblasts and airway smooth muscle cells. by Elena P Moiseeva, Katy M Roach, Mark L Leyland, Peter Bradding

“…<h4>Background</h4>Mast cells (MCs) play a central role in the development of many diseases including asthma and pulmonary fibrosis. Interactions of human lung mast cells (HLMCs) with human airway smooth muscle cells (HASMCs) are partially dependent on adhesion mediated by cell adhesion molecule-1 (CADM1), but the adhesion mechanism through which HLMCs interact with human lung fibroblasts (HLFs) is not known. …”

Species-specific influences of competition and tree size on drought sensitivity and resistance for three planted conifers in northern China by Rui Deng, Jinglei Liao, Tim Rademacher, Zhongqi Xu, Mingchao Du, Jianwei Zheng, Lihua Fu, Xianliang Zhang

“…Droughts have caused tree growth decline and high tree mortality across temperate forests, however, how to manage planted forests to alleviate drought stress is still challenging. We used tree-ring and forest inventory data from different density stands to investigate how competition, tree diameter at breast height (DBH), tree age, and their interactions influence drought sensitivity and resistance for three widely-distributed and planted conifer species (Larix principis-rupprechtii, Picea meyeri, and Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica). …”
