Metagenomic survey of pathogen prevalence in the infant gut

Scientific Reports
The human microbiota impacts our health and well-being from infancy throughout our lives. Besides mutualistic and commensal strains, it also contains opportunistic pathogens. Infants may be especially vulnerable to opportunistic pathogen colonisation due

A Novel Virulence Phenotype Rapidly Assesses Candida Fungal Pathogenesis in Healthy and Immunocompromised Caenorhabditis elegans Hosts

mSphere, 2019
The yeast Candida albicans is an opportunistic pathogen of humans, meaning that despite commensal interactions with its host, it can transition to a harmful pathogen. While C.

Beyond Biomimetics: Pathology‐Informed Engineering Rescues Reconstituted HDL From Inflammatory Dysfunction for Sepsis Immunotherapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A pathology‐informed engineering strategy rescues reconstituted HDL from inflammatory dysfunction in sepsis. By integrating a ceria nanozyme‐celastrol coordination complex, the platform preserves HDL structure and endotoxin handling, sustains hierarchical intracellular delivery, and enhances immunoregulation across pathological models, translating ...

Adhesion‐Enhanced Engineered Probiotic for Prolonged Intestinal Retention and Calprotectin‐Responsive IBD Therapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An intelligent engineered probiotic platform is developed for the precision management of inflammatory bowel disease. By integrating surface‐displayed adhesins with an inflammation‐responsive CAT‐SOD‐GPx tripartite fusion system and mucosal repair factors, this programmable system achieves prolonged intestinal retention and multi‐pronged therapy.

Testing the Opportunistic Approach to Monetary Policy [PDF]

The Opportunistic Approach to Monetary Policy is an influential but untested model of optimal monetary policy. We provide the first tests of the model, using US data from 1983Q1-2004Q1. Our results support the Opportunistic Approach.

Reducing feedback requirements of the multiple weight opportunistic beamforming scheme via selective multiuser diversity [PDF]

, 2008
Opportunistic beamforming (OB) relies on the transmission of Channel State Information (CSI) in the form of instantaneous Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) from Mobile Stations (MSs) back to the Base Station (BS) for scheduling purposes that increase ...

Sublethal systemic LPS in mice enables gut-luminal pathogens to bloom through oxygen species-mediated microbiota inhibition

Nature Communications
Endotoxin-driven systemic immune activation is a common hallmark across various clinical conditions. During acute critical illness, elevated plasma lipopolysaccharide triggers non-specific systemic immune activation. In addition, a compositional shift in
