Negative selection--clearing out the bad apples from the T-cell repertoire.

Dead cells are a prominent feature of the thymic landscape as only 5% of developing thymocytes are exported as mature T cells. The remaining thymocytes die by one of two mechanisms; most thymocytes die because they are not positively selected and do not receive a survival signal, whereas a minority of thymocytes undergo T-cell receptor (TCR)-mediated apoptosis, a process known as negative selection. Negative selection is extremely important for establishing a functional immune system, as it provides an efficient mechanism for ridding the T-cell repertoire of self-reactive and potentially autoimmune lymphocytes. This review discusses several cellular and molecular aspects of negative selection.

Apples, oranges and unknown fruit.

For many microbiologists their ultimate goal is to understand microbial life at the whole-cell level. Here, Fred Neidhardt gives his view that attention must be paid to the growth conditions for this goal to be realized.

A high-quality chromosome-level genome assembly of apple of Peru (Nicandra physalodes).

Nicandra physalodes, a member of the Solanaceae family, is known for its medicinal potential and strong natural insect-repellent properties, which are mainly attributed to its bioactive withanolides and alkaloids. Despite its ecological and pharmacological significance, genomic information for this species has remained limited. Here, we generated a chromosome-level reference genome for N. physalodes based on PacBio high-fidelity (HiFi) long-read sequencing and Hi-C scaffolding. The assembled genome is 933.97 Mb in size, with a contig N50 of 87.37 Mb, and 99.95% (933.54 Mb) of the sequences anchored to 10 pseudochromosomes. Repetitive elements account for 73.06% of the genome, and 27,925 protein-coding genes were predicted, 97.81% of which were functionally annotated. This genomic resource provides a valuable foundation for investigating the genetic basis of specialized metabolite biosynthesis, insect resistance, and environmental adaptation in N. physalodes, as well as for comparative studies within the Solanaceae family.
