Trained Memory of Uterine Macrophages Improves Subsequent Pregnancy Outcomes

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies that pregnancy imprints a durable, pregnancy‐specific form of trained immune memory in uterine macrophages, marked by the emergence of LILRB3+/PIR‐B+ cells that expand across gestations, acquire a tolerogenic and metabolically rewired phenotype, and actively protect against inflammatory pregnancy loss in mice.

Investigation of extramammary sources of Group B Streptococcus reveals its unusual ecology and epidemiology in camels.

PLoS ONE, 2021
Camels are vital to food production in the drylands of the Horn of Africa, with milk as their main contribution to food security. A major constraint to camel milk production is mastitis, inflammation of the mammary gland. The condition negatively impacts

Case Report With Biallelic Variants in GCNT2 Implicates Exon 1B in Congenital Cataracts

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT GCNT2‐related cataracts is a disorder characterized by bilateral congenital cataracts (CC) of various types (with or without the adult i blood phenotype) and is caused by biallelic variants in GCNT2, which has 3 major isoforms, differentiated by alternative splicing of the first exon (known as exon 1A, B, and C).

P2.082 Post-Treatment Detection of Azithromycin in High-Vaginal Swabs Using Liquid Chromatography and Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) [PDF]

Sexually Transmitted Infections, 2013
Introduction Recent data have raised questions over the efficacy of azithromycin 1g for the treatment of chlamydia infection. In order to measure effective absorption, we developed a protocol to quantify the concentration of azithromycin using liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) in self-collected high-vaginal swabs. Methods

Tetraspanin‐ESCRT sorting drives miR‐29b packaging into extracellular vesicles to reverse fibrosis in intrauterine adhesions

BMEMat, EarlyView.
MiR‐29b is enriched in extracellular vesicles (EVs) via a tetraspanin transporter‐dependent endocytosis and sorting complex required for the endosomal transport (ESCRT)‐dependent pathway. These EVs target the 3′ untranslated region (3′UTR) of TGFB2, thereby inhibiting the TGF‐β/Smad3 signaling pathway and repairing endometrial damage in intrauterine ...
