The paper develops fluorescent probes to detect Paenibacillus thiaminolyticus in mixed populations by removing an S-layer that blocks probe access.

This review summarizes the genetic basis of hydrocephalus, including genes, pathways, and mechanisms, to highlight the complexity and global impact of its genetic contributions.

The paper introduces a method to infer differential richness in 16S rRNA surveys by accounting for spurious taxa generated during sequencing, using an R package called Prokounter.

This study uses microbial topic modeling to identify associations between vaginal microbiome composition and intrapartum fever in Ugandan laboring women, improving prediction beyond clinical variables.

The paper identifies 70 gene-level associations with 26 infectious disease traits using transcriptome-wide association studies and explores their molecular basis and implications for host-pathogen interactions.

The paper investigates the relationship between spreading depression and spontaneous seizures in two animal models of chronic epilepsy, finding that SD is associated with a third of seizures and contributes to seizure clustering.

This study shows that applied electric fields can modulate and prevent spreading depression in brain slices by altering its propagation path and speed.
