ADAPTIVE DIVERGENCE, NEUTRAL PANMIXIA, AND ALGAL SYMBIONT POPULATION STRUCTURE IN THE TEMPERATE CORAL ASTRANGIA POCULATA ALONG THE MID-ATLANTIC UNITED STATES

Adaptive divergence, neutral panmixia, and algal symbiont population structure in the temperate coral Astrangia poculata along the Mid-Atlantic United States

Astrangia poculata is a temperate scleractinian coral that exists in facultative symbiosis with the dinoflagellate alga Breviolum psygmophilum across a range spanning the Gulf of Mexico to Cape Cod, Massachusetts.Our previous work on metabolic thermal performance of Virginia (VA) and Rhode Island (RI) populations of A.poculata revealed physiologica

Neutrophils Expressing Programmed Death-Ligand 1 Play an Indispensable Role in Effective Bacterial Elimination and Resolving Inflammation in Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Infection

Programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) is a co-inhibitory molecule expressed on the surface of various cell types and known for its suppressive effect on T cells through its interaction with PD-1.Neutrophils also express PD-L1, and its expression is elevated in specific situations; however, the immunobiological role of PD-L1+ neutrophils has Mains Plugs
