Immunological composition of human milk before and during subclinical and clinical mastitis by Irma Castro-Navarro, Ryan M. Pace, Ryan M. Pace, Ryan M. Pace, Janet E. Williams, Christina D. W. Pace, Harpreet Kaur, Julia Piaskowski, Alberto Aragón, Alberto Aragón, Juan M. Rodríguez, Juan M. Rodríguez, Mark A. McGuire, Leonides Fernandez, Leonides Fernandez, Michelle K. McGuire

“…Mastitis, an inflammatory condition affecting more than 25% of breastfeeding women, is usually associated with reduced milk secretion, pain, and discomfort, which often leads to early cessation of breastfeeding. Although the etiology of mastitis is multifactorial, a pro-inflammatory state of the mammary gland might be a risk factor. …”

Understanding phage BX-1 resistance in Vibrio alginolyticus AP-1 and the role of quorum-sensing regulation by Xiaoyu Li, Xin Liu, Tianyi Ma, Haochen Su, Bingrui Sui, Lili Wang, Bilal Murtaza, Yongping Xu, Na Li, Demeng Tan

“…Furthermore, investigating the signaling molecules that regulate phage-host interactions, we find that in a high cell density state (ΔluxO), bacterial cells upregulate their susceptibility to phage BX-1, which leads to a rapid development of resistance. Conversely, cells in a low-density state (ΔhapR) exhibit reduced susceptibility to phage BX-1 while still producing comparable phage progenies. …”
