Detecting Presymptomatic Infection Is Necessary to Forecast Major Epidemics in the Earliest Stages of Infectious Disease Outbreaks.

We assess how presymptomatic infection affects predictability of infectious disease epidemics.We focus on whether or not a major outbreak (i.e.an epidemic that will go on to infect a large number of individuals) can be predicted reliably soon after initial cases of disease have appeared within a population.For emerging epidemics, significant time a

Multimodal cartography of human lymphopoiesis reveals B and T/NK/ILC lineages are subjected to differential regulation

Summary: The developmental cartography of human lymphopoiesis remains incompletely understood.Here, we establish a multimodal map demonstrating that lymphoid specification follows independent direct or stepwise hierarchic routes converging toward the emergence of newly characterized CD117lo multi-lymphoid progenitors (MLPs) that undergo a prolifera
