A novel application tunnel in combination with medical training reduces stress induced by frequent intraperitoneal injections and blood sampling in mice

This study introduces a medical training program with an application tunnel to reduce stress in mice during frequent intraperitoneal injections and blood sampling.

Expression of human CEACAMs promotes inflammation and organ damage during systemic Candida albicans infection in mice

This study shows that human CEACAM receptors in mice worsen inflammation and organ damage during Candida albicans infection, leading to shorter survival.

Functional Dichotomy of Developmental Foxp3+ Treg Cell Subsets in the Visceral Adipose Tissue of Lean and Obese Mice

This study investigates the functional differences between thymic and peripheral Treg cells in visceral adipose tissue, showing that tTreg instability contributes to inflammation and obesity while pTreg cells protect against metabolic disorders.

Generation of OP7 chimera defective interfering particle preparations free of infectious influenza A virus that shows antiviral efficacy in mice

Insights into standards of care: dexamethasone and antibodies against COVID-19 in hamster models

The paper evaluates dexamethasone and anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in hamster models, showing reduced viral burden with antibodies and anti-inflammatory effects with dexamethasone, with synergistic benefits when combined.
