Longitudinal dynamics of the human vaginal ecosystem across the reproductive cycle

E. K. Costello, D. B. DiGiulio, A. Robaczewska, L. Symul, R. J. Wong, G. M. Shaw, D. K. Stevenson, S. P. Holmes, D. S. Kwon, D. A. Relman

This study tracks changes in the vaginal microbiome and inflammation across the reproductive cycle, finding that childbirth disrupts microbial communities and reduces Lactobacillus dominance, with limited recovery over one year.

Reprogrammed Schwann cells organize into dynamic tracks that promote pancreatic cancer invasion

S. Deborde, L. Gusain, A. Powers, A. Marcadis, Y. Yu, C.-H. Chen, A. Frants, E. Kao, T. Omelchenko, L. Tang, E. Vakiani, A. Calo, B. Reva, K. R. Jessen, R. J. Wong

This study shows that Schwann cells activated by cancer cells form tracks that promote pancreatic cancer invasion through c-Jun-dependent mechanisms.

Sediment Selection: Range Expanding Fiddler Crabs are Better Burrowers Than Their Historical Counterparts

R. J. Wong, M. S. Roy, J. E. K. Byrnes

This study shows range-expanding fiddler crabs burrow better in compact soils than historical populations, suggesting physical habitat traits influence climate-driven range expansions.

Inter-institutional variation in predictive value of the ThyroSeq v2 genomic classifier for cytologically indeterminate thyroid nodules

A. R. Marcadis, P. Valderrabano, A. S. Ho, J. Tepe, C. E. Swartzwelder, S. Byrd, W. L. Sacks, B. R. Untch, A. R. Shaha, B. Xu, O. Lin, R. A. Ghossein, R. J. Wong, J. L. Marti, L. G. T. Morris

This study evaluates the predictive value of ThyroSeq v2 across four institutions for indeterminate thyroid nodules, finding variable positive predictive values and differences in malignancy risk assessment.
