This study establishes a neonatal S. aureus colonization model in mice using a mouse-adapted strain, showing persistent colonization and a Th17-dominated immune response.

This study quantifies capsaicin levels in commercial salsas to assess their safety for GERD patients, finding inconsistent labeling and wide variation within labeled categories.

This study shows that S. aureus colonization in male mice leads to spontaneous preputial gland infections driven by a Th17 immune response that fails to clear the bacteria.

This study conducts a large GWAS on heart failure, identifying 12 genetic loci with associations to CAD, atrial fibrillation, and reduced left ventricular function, and provides causal evidence for several risk factors.
