Relapsing–Remitting Multiple Sclerosis Is Associated With a Dysbiotic Oral Microbiome

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disorder characterized by inflammation, demyelination, and neurological impairment. While the gut microbiota's role in MS is extensively studied, the association between the oral microbiota and MS remains underexplored, particularly in North American cohorts.

Evolution of Subgenomic RNA Shapes Dengue Virus Adaptation and Epidemiological Fitness

iScience, 2019
Summary: Changes in dengue virus (DENV) genome affect viral fitness both clinically and epidemiologically. Even in the 3′ untranslated region (3′ UTR), mutations could affect subgenomic flaviviral RNA (sfRNA) production and its affinity for host proteins,

PANGEA-HIV 2: Phylogenetics And Networks for Generalised Epidemics in Africa

Current Opinion in HIV and AIDS, 2019
Purpose of review The HIV epidemic in sub-Saharan Africa is far from being under control and the ambitious UNAIDS targets are unlikely to be met by 2020 as declines in per-capita incidence being largely offset by demographic trends.

Gelechiidae Moths Are Capable of Chemically Dissolving the Pollen of Their Host Plants [PDF]

, 2011
Background: Many insects feed on pollen surface lipids and contents accessible through the germination pores. Pollen walls, however, are not broken down because they consist of sporopollenin and are highly resistant to physical and enzymatic damage. Here

Spatial phylogenetics of the native California flora

BMC Biology, 2017
California is a world floristic biodiversity hotspot where the terms neo- and paleo-endemism were first applied. Using spatial phylogenetics, it is now possible to evaluate biodiversity from an evolutionary standpoint, including discovering significant ...

Recombinant Proteins: A Molecular Tool to Understand Marine Adhesion and to Advance Biomaterials

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
The production of recombinant proteins represents a fundamental step in the characterisation of marine invertebrate adhesives and in the development of bio‐inspired glues. The association of these proteins with other components such as ions, proteins, polysaccharides, or polymers enables the fabrication of biomaterials for various healthcare ...

Smart Sampling Capsule for Capture and Detection of Enteric Pathogens in the Small Intestine

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
An ingestible smart sampling capsule for capturing asymptomatic enteric pathogens at their primary sites of interaction within the small intestine. This capability enables non‐invasive detection of early pathogen colonization within the gut environment prior to fecal shedding, providing a robust approach for pathogen surveillance and microbiome studies.
