Abstract
Multifilamentary Bi2Sr2CaCu2Ox (Bi-2212) wire made by the powder-in-tube technique is the only high temperature superconductor made in the round shape preferred by magnet builders. The critical current density (J C ) of Bi-2212 round wire was improved significantly by the development of overpressure heat treatment in the past few years. Bi-2212 wire is commercially available in multiple architectures and kilometer-long pieces and a very promising conductor for very high field NMR and accelerator magnets. We studied the effects of precursor powder and heat treatment conditions on the superconducting properties and microstructure of recent Bi-2212 wires. Short samples of recent wire with optimized overpressure processing showed J C (4.2 K, 15 T) = 6640 A/mm2 and J C (4.2 K, 30 T) = 4670 A/mm2, which correspond to engineering critical current densities J E (4.2 K, 15 T) = 1320 A/mm2 and J E (4.2 K, 30 T) = 930 A/mm2.

Abstract
Abstract
Gabriella Miller Kids First Pediatric Research Program (GMKF) is a nation-wide, multi-year initiative focused on the integration of large-scale clinically annotated genomic data for childhood cancers and structural birth defects supported by the NIH Common Fund. Awarded by GMKF, the Kids First Data Resource Center (DRC) is tasked to build infrastructure and workflows for data intaking, harmonization, integration and access authorization to empower collaborative discoveries across the GMKF and other integrated datasets. A key challenge for uniform analyses and empowered discovery of large-scale genomic data relates to the diverse genomic processing workflows and methods employed across the sequencing and bioinformatics community. The DRC genomic harmonization team aims to provide “analysis ready” datasets that are “functionally equivalent” across the Kids First datasets and other large-scale genomic data initiatives in order to accelerate the discovery process. Paired with the cloud-based workspace environments of the DRC, such harmonized dataset provide unprecedented opportunities for shared, reproducible discovery by a diverse, collaborative network of researchers. As such, DRC initial pipelines are developed with BWA-MEM alignment on genome build GRCh38 followed by the GATK best practices for germline variant calling and joint genotyping. Common Workflow Language (CWL) is used as the main workflow specification, while Docker technology has been applied to containerize all the tools used by the workflow. Our current workflows are tasked with data harmonization across a number of different experimental platforms including whole genome sequencing, exome sequencing, and RNA-seq. The data processing is done via CAVATICA, an Amazon Web Services (AWS) based cloud computing platform associated with the Kids First DRC Portal co-developed by Seven Bridges Genomics, where workflows feature scatter-gather parallelization and AWS resource optimization. By utilizing such a framework, the DRC team has harmonized over 10,000 WGS and 1,000 RNA-Seq samples across 12 study cohorts within 8 months. This dataset in its current release includes samples from 40 pediatric brain cancers as well as 8 childhood birth defects with the outcome of delivering 150TB harmonized CRAM and 60TB gVCF. With a highly optimized bioinformatics pipeline powered by an efficient cloud-based execution workflow, The DRC platform processes one genome in about 11 hours with an average compute cost of $15 for whole genome alignment and germline variant calling. Here we present our observed challenges and identified opportunities in the analysis and integration of multi-disease pediatric genomic data on a large scale.

Abstract
Extracellular mRNAs (ex-mRNAs) potentially supersede extracellular miRNAs (ex-miRNAs) and other RNA classes as biomarkers. We performed conventional small-RNA-sequencing (sRNA-seq) and sRNA-seq with T4 polynucleotide kinase (PNK) end-treatment of total exRNA isolated from serum and platelet-poor EDTA, ACD, and heparin plasma to study the effect on ex-mRNA capture. Compared to conventional sRNA-seq PNK-treatment increased the detection of informative ex-mRNAs reads up to 50-fold. The exRNA pool was dominated by hematopoietic cells and platelets, with additional contribution from the liver. About 60% of the 15- to 42-nt reads originated from the coding sequences, in a pattern reminiscent of ribosome-profiling. Blood sample type had a considerable influence on the exRNA profile. On average approximately 350 to 1,100 distinct ex-mRNA transcripts were detected depending on plasma type. In serum, additional transcripts from neutrophils and hematopoietic cells increased this number to near 2,300. EDTA and ACD plasma showed a destabilizing effect on ex mRNA and non-coding RNA ribonucleoprotein complexes compared to other plasma types. In a proof-of-concept study, we investigated differences between the exRNA profiles of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and healthy controls. The improved tissue resolution of ex mRNAs after PNK-treatment enabled us to detect a neutrophil-signature in ACS that escaped detection by ex miRNA analysis.

Abstract
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is an idiopathic systemic autoimmune disease. It is characterized by a triad of hallmarks: immune dysfunction, fibrosis and vasculopathy. Immune dysfunction in SSc is characterized by the activation and recruitment of immune cells and the production of autoantibodies and cytokines. How immune abnormalities link the fibrosis and vasculopathy in SSc is poorly understood. A plethora of immune cell types are implicated in the immunopathogenesis of SSc, including T cells, B cells, dendritic cells, mast cells and macrophages. How these different cell types interact to contribute to SSc is complicated, and can involve cell-to-cell interactions and communication via cytokines, including transforming growth factor (TGF)-β, interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-4. We will attempt to review significant and recent research demonstrating the importance of immune cell regulation in the immunopathogenesis of SSc with a particular focus on fibrosis.
