3.46 Ga Apex chert 'microfossils' reinterpreted as mineral artefacts produced during phyllosilicate exfoliation

We acknowledge the facilities, scientific and technical assistance of the Australian Microscopy & Microanalysis Research Facility at: Centre for Microscopy Characterisation and Analysis, The University of Western Australia; Electron Microscopy Unit, The University of New South Wales. These facilities are funded by the Universities, State and Commonwealth Governments. DW was funded by the European Commission and the Australian Research Council (FT140100321). This is ARC CCFS paper number XXX. We acknowledge Martin van Kranendonk, Owen Green, Cris Stoakes, Nicola McLoughlin, the late John Lindsay and the Geological Survey of Western Australia for fieldwork assistance, Thomas Becker for assistance with Raman microspectroscopy, Anthony Burgess from FEI for the preparation of one of the TEM wafers, and Russell Garwood, Tom Davies, Imran Rahman & Stephan Lautenschlager for training and advice on the SPIERS and AVIZO software suites. We thank Chris Fedo and an anonymous reviewer for comments that improved the manuscript.

A key role for PTP1B in dendritic cell maturation, migration and T cell activation

Acknowledgements We thank the Iain Fraser Flow Cytometry Centre and the Medical Research Facility of the University of Aberdeen. We are grateful to Drs West, Zaru, and Davidson (University of Dundee) for the scientific discussion and technical assistance. Wethank Derek Mitchell (University of Dundee) for aiding with the quantification of focal contacts. Funding This work was supported by Saving Sight in Grampian and the Development Trust of the UoA (both to J.V.F.). Work on this project was partly funded by project grants from British Heart Foundation and European Foundation for the Study of Diabetes/Lilly diabetes programme grant (to M.D.).
