Pediatric Autoimmune Pancreatitis: Clinical Findings and Outcomes in Sweden
ABSTRACT Introduction Pediatric autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is a rare form of pancreatitis in children with poorly understood pathophysiology. It is a recognized risk factor for chronic pancreatitis in approximately 4% of pediatric cases. This study aims to describe the demographics, clinical characteristics, and outcomes of a large Swedish cohort of

Dissecting Microscopic Colitis Immunopathophysiology: Insights From Basic Research
ABSTRACT Microscopic colitis is an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) comprising two clinically undiscernible entities: collagenous colitis and lymphocytic colitis. Collagenous colitis associates with HLA genes and displays a Th1/Tc1–Th17/Tc17 profile with pericryptal myofibroblast activity, water malabsorption and secondary fluid loss due to altered ...

A Drosophila Model for Clostridium difficile Toxin CDT Reveals Interactions with Multiple Effector Pathways. [PDF]
Clostridium difficile infections (CDIs) cause severe and occasionally life-threatening diarrhea. Hyper-virulent strains produce CDT, a toxin that ADP-ribosylates actin monomers and inhibits actin polymerization.

Short Read Lengths Recover Ecological Patterns in 16S rRNA Gene Amplicon Data
ABSTRACT 16S rRNA gene metabarcoding, the study of amplicon sequences of the 16S rRNA gene from mixed environmental samples, is an increasingly popular and accessible method for assessing bacterial communities across a wide range of environments. As metabarcoding sequence data archives continue to grow, data reuse will likely become an important source
