Here we show that Li2O2 forms to the widest extent as particles via solution mediated LiO2 disproportionation. We describe a unified Li2O2 growth model that conclusively explains capacity limitations across the whole range of electrolytes. Deciding for particle morphology, achievable rate and capacities are species mobilities, electrode specific surface area (determining true areal rate) and the concentration distribution of associated LiO2 in solution. Provided that species mobilities and surface are high, high, capacities are possible even with low-donor-number electrolytes, previously considered prototypical for low capacity via surface growth.

This is possible because GxE induces fluctuations in the conditional trait variance, the extent of which depends on the strength of GxE. The approach can be applied to continuous outcomes and for single SNPs or genetic risk scores (GRS). Extensive simulations demonstrated that our method yields unbiased interaction estimates and excellent confidence interval coverage. We also offer a strategy to distinguish specific GxE from general heteroscedasticity (scale effects). Applying our method to 32 complex traits in the UK Biobank reveals that for body mass index (BMI) the GRSxE explains an additional 1.9% variance on top of the 5.2% GRS contribution. However, this interaction is not specific to the GRS and holds for any variable similarly correlated with BMI. On the contrary, the GRSxE interaction effect for leg impedance Embedded Image is significantly (P < 10−56) larger than it would be expected for a similarly correlated variable Embedded Image.

Drosophila hemocytes patrol the body cavity and act as macrophages outside the nervous system whereas glia originate from the neuroepithelium and provide the scavenger population of the nervous system. Drosophila glia are hence the functional orthologs of vertebrate microglia, even though the latter are cells of immune origin that subsequently move into the brain during development. Interestingly, the Drosophila immune cells within (glia) and outside the nervous system (hemocytes) require the same transcription factor Glide/Gcm for their development. This raises the issue of how do glia specifically differentiate in the nervous system and hemocytes in the procephalic mesoderm. The Repo homeodomain transcription factor and pan-glial direct target of Glide/Gcm is known to ensure glial terminal differentiation. Here we show that Repo also takes center stage in the process that discriminates between glia and hemocytes. First, Repo expression is repressed in the hemocyte anlagen by mesoderm-specific factors. Second, Repo ectopic activation in the procephalic mesoderm is sufficient to repress the expression of hemocyte-specific genes. Third, the lack of Repo triggers the expression of hemocyte markers in glia. Thus, a complex network of tissue-specific cues biases the potential of Glide/Gcm. These data allow us to revise the concept of fate determinants and help us understand the bases of cell specification.

In Drosophila, glia and hemocytes provide a scavenger activity within and outside the nervous system, respectively. While they both require the Glide/Gcm transcription factor, glia originate from the ectoderm, hemocytes from the mesoderm. Here we show that tissue-specific factors inhibit the gliogenic potential of Glide/Gcm in the mesoderm by repressing the expression of the homeodomain protein Repo, a major glial-specific target of Glide/Gcm. Repo expression in turn inhibits the expression of hemocyte-specific genes in the nervous system. These cell-specific networks secure the establishment of the glial fate only in the nervous system and allow cell diversification.}, author = {Trébuchet, Guillaume and Cattenoz, Pierre B and Zsámboki, János and Mazaud, David and Siekhaus, Daria E and Fanto, Manolis and Giangrande, Angela}, journal = {Journal of Neuroscience}, number = {2}, pages = {238--255}, publisher = {Society for Neuroscience}, title = {{The Repo homeodomain transcription factor suppresses hematopoiesis in Drosophila and preserves the glial fate}}, doi = {10.1523/JNEUROSCI.1059-18.2018}, volume = {39}, year = {2019}, } @article{80, abstract = {We consider an interacting, dilute Bose gas trapped in a harmonic potential at a positive temperature.
