Extensive horizontal gene transfer during Staphylococcus aureus co-colonization in vivo. [PDF]

, 2014
Staphylococcus aureus is a commensal and major pathogen of humans and animals. Comparative genomics of S. aureus populations suggests that colonization of different host species is associated with carriage of mobile genetic elements (MGE), particularly ...

Visual Recovery Reflects Cortical MeCP2 Sensitivity in Rett Syndrome

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Rett syndrome (RTT) is a devastating neurodevelopmental disorder with developmental regression affecting motor, sensory, and cognitive functions. Sensory disruptions contribute to the complex behavioral and cognitive difficulties and represent an important target for therapeutic interventions.

3D Multicellular Scaffold Based Model for Advancing Bone Disorder Research

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A scalable 3D multicellular in vitro bone model engineered by integrating osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and endothelial cells on biodegradable scaffolds. The system recapitulates key features of human bone remodeling and disease pathology. As a proof of concept, the model mimics osteogenesis imperfecta, demonstrating its potential as a physiologically ...

Characterization of porcine endogenous retrovirus expression in neonatal and adult pig pancreatic islets [PDF]

, 2017
BACKGROUND: Pig islets represent an alternative to the current modes of treatment for patients with diabetes. However, the concerns over pathogen transmission including that of PERV limit their immediate, widespread usage in humans.

Multifunctional Protein Eutectogels Based on Polyphenolic: Zwitterionic Low‐Transition‐Temperature Mixtures

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work presents the first example of multifunctional protein eutectogels based on a tannic acid: betaine low‐transition‐temperature mixture, exhibiting elastomeric behavior, strong adhesion to various substrates, including biological tissues, and notable anti‐inflammatory properties derived from the natural polyphenol and zwitterion.
