Abstract:
In this issue of JEM, Forster et al. (https://doi.org/10.1084/jem.20250781) report that Blimp-1 is a pivotal alarmin-activated transcription factor that is critical in controlling optimal effector cytokine secretion in ILC2 cells during type 2 immunity.

01:19Inductively Coupled Plasma–Mass Spectrometry (ICP–MS): Overview
2.8K
In inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (ICP–MS), an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) torch is used as an atomizer and ionizer. Solid samples are dissolved and volatilized before being introduced into the high-temperature argon plasma, while solution samples are nebulized and passed through the high-temperature argon plasma. Plasma dissociates the analytes and ionizes their component atoms to form a mixture of positive ions and molecular species. The positive ions are then...

9.9K
In order to produce glucose, plants need to capture sufficient light energy. Many modern plants have evolved leaves specialized for light acquisition. Leaves can be only millimeters in width or tens of meters wide, depending on the environment. Due to competition for sunlight, evolution has driven the evolution of increasingly larger leaves and taller plants, to avoid shading by their neighbors with contaminant elaboration of root architecture and mechanisms to transport water and nutrients.
