This study shows that postpartum lactation enhances maternal antiviral immunity, improving survival and disease outcomes after influenza infection.

This study investigates gestational stage-dependent differences in maternal and fetal outcomes following Oropouche virus infection in mice, revealing fetal-intrinsic antiviral mechanisms.

This study shows that acute paternal immune activation alters sperm small RNAs, which reprogram embryonic gene expression and enhance offspring survival from viral infection.

This study characterizes the microbiome assembly in neonatal mice from birth to adulthood, showing that microbial diversity increases after day 14 and is largely complete by day 21.

This study compares bacterial and viral transfer methods in mouse microbiota transplantation, finding co-housing more effective than fecal or cecal transplantation for rapid reconstitution.

The paper identifies human erythroid progenitors as immune mediators expressing MHC class II machinery and interacting with T cells in the fetal liver.

This study shows that microbial colonization affects liver sphingolipids but not plasma fatty acids in mice fed a high-soybean-oil diet.
