A microphysiologic human cervical model recapitulates microbial, immune, and pathogenic properties of sexually transmitted infections
Abstract Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) of the cervicovaginal mucosa are among the most common global infections. Current monolayer cell culture and animal models fail to reproduce the multilevel complexity required to investigate host-microbiota-pathogen relationships simultaneously and/or with sufficient physiological relevance.
Acinetobacter phages use distinct strategies to breach the capsule barrier
Abstract Acinetobacter baumannii is an opportunistic pathogen that is a growing threat in hospital settings due to its alarmingly high rates of antibiotic resistance. Alternative therapies are urgently needed to manage the growing burden of untreatable A. baumannii infections. Phage therapy is a promising avenue that has already seen some success in isolated compassionate-use cases, including the famous Patterson case. A.

Interferons and tuft cell numbers are bottlenecks for persistent murine norovirus infection
Abstract Noroviruses (NoVs) are a leading cause of viral gastroenteritis. Despite global clinical relevance, our understanding of how host factors, such as antiviral cytokines interferons (IFNs), modulate NoV population dynamics is limited. Murine NoV (MNoV) is a tractable in vivo model for the study of host regulation of NoV. A persistent strain of MNoV, CR6, establishes a reservoir in intestinal tuft cells for chronic viral shedding in stool.
