β-hydroxybutyrate modulates enteric pathogen susceptibility through regulation of commensal bacteria and intestinal Th17 responses

Wenxuan Dong, Chi Yan, Bethany R. Korwin-Mihavics, Kate Stack, Gillian Hughes, Aidan Schmidt, Kevin J. Schwartz, Gustavo G. Caballero-Flores, Margaret Alexander

This study shows that β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) reduces Th17 cells and SFB abundance, increasing susceptibility to enteric infection by altering gut microbiota.

A network-based model of Aspergillus fumigatus elucidates regulators of development and defensive natural products of an opportunistic pathogen

Cristobal Carrera Carriel, Spencer Halberg, Marina Kotvanova, Saptarshi Pyne, Sung Chul Park, Hyewon Seo, Aidan Schmidt, Dante G. Calise, Jean‐Michel Ané, Nancy P. Keller, Sushmita Roy

This paper constructs a gene regulatory network for Aspergillus fumigatus using RNA-seq data, validates it with experimental cases, and provides an online resource called GRAsp.
