Dynamic persistence of UPEC intracellular bacterial communities in a human bladder-chip model of urinary tract infection

John McKinney, Neeraj Dhar, Vivek Vijay Thacker, François Signorino-Gelo, Kunal Sharma, Thomas Marie Simonet

Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) proliferate within superficial bladder umbrella cells to form intracellular bacterial communities (IBCs) during early stages of urinary tract infections. However, the dynamic responses of IBCs to host stresses and anti ...

Immune serum-activated human macrophages coordinate with eosinophils to immobilize Ascaris suum larvae

Beatrice Volpe, Julia Esser-von Bieren, Tiffany Babette Angélique Bouchery, Kathleen Shah

Helminth infection represents a major health problem causing approximately 5 million disability-adjusted life years worldwide. Concerns that repeated anti-helminthic treatment may lead to drug resistance render it important that vaccines are developed but ...

Infection with a small intestinal helminth, Heligmosomoides polygyrus bakeri, consistently alters microbial communities throughout the murine small and large intestine

Nicola Harris, Benjamin John Marsland, Mario Michael Zaiss, Alexis Rapin, Luc Xavier Marie Lebon, Audrey Geneviève Chuat

Increasing evidence suggests that intestinal helminth infection can alter intestinal microbial communities with important impacts on the mammalian host. However, all of the studies to date utilize different techniques to study the microbiome and access dif ...

Gene drives for schistosomiasis transmission control

Francisco Javier Perez Saez

Schistosomiasis is one of the most important and widespread neglected tropical diseases (NTD), with over 200 million people infected in more than 70 countries; the disease has nearly 800 million people at risk in endemic areas. Although mass drug administr ...

Automated Platform for Long-Term Culture and High-Content Phenotyping of Single C. elegans Worms

Johan Auwerx, Martinus Gijs, Matteo Cornaglia, Laurent Mouchiroud, Elena Katsyuba, Hüseyin Baris Atakan, Rongrong Xiang

The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is a suitable model organism in drug screening. Traditionally worms are grown on agar plates, posing many challenges for long-term culture and phenotyping of animals under identical conditions. Microfluidics allows for ' ...

House dust mite drives proinflammatory eicosanoid reprogramming and macrophage effector functions

Nicola Harris, Julia Esser-von Bieren, Tiffany Babette Angélique Bouchery

Background Eicosanoid lipid mediators play key roles in type 2 immune responses, for example in allergy and asthma. Macrophages represent major producers of eicosanoids and they are key effector cells of type 2 immunity. We aimed to comprehensively track e ...

IL-4R alpha-Expressing B Cells Are Required for CXCL13 Production by Fibroblastic Reticular Cells

Nicola Harris, Lalit Kumar Dubey

Adaptive type 2 immune responses against the intestinal helminth Heligmosomoides polygyrus (Hp) require the interaction of follicle-associated CXCR5(+) dendritic cells with naive T cells in the draining mesenteric lymph nodes (mLNs). However, the source of ...

Empirical Characterization of Particle Size Distribution Spatial Dynamics for Helminth Eggs Detection in Waste Stabilization Ponds (WSP)

Paolo Perona

This study assesses seasonal particle size distribution (PSD) dynamics inside a waste stabilization ponds (WSP) (Buguruni, Tanzania) to understand settling dynamics of wastewater particles with an interest in helminth eggs. Results indicate that particles ...

Intestinal helminths modulate the gut microbiome

Alexis Rapin

Intestinal parasitic worms (commonly named intestinal helminths) affect close to one quarter of the world population and cause major losses for the livestock industry. These parasites establish chronic infections by modulation the immunity of their host. T ...

Risk Perception and Epidemics in Complex Computer Networks

Emanuele Massaro

We present a self-organised method for quickly obtaining the epidemic threshold of infective processes on networks. Starting from simple percolation models, we introduce the possibility that the effective infection probability is affected by the perception ...
