The paper uses fibroblasts from 86 mammalian species to study virus-host susceptibility and innate immune responses across diverse mammals.

This study shows that dirty mice, with broad microbial exposure, better model human immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines, showing reduced antibody titers and faster waning compared to SPF mice.

This study shows that microbial degradation of mucins provides more nutrients and triggers gene expression changes in Pseudomonas aeruginosa than host-mediated mucin breakdown.
