Distinct disease-modifying therapies are associated with different blood immune cell profiles in people with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis

This study compares the effects of different disease-modifying therapies on immune cell profiles in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis patients, finding varied impacts on T, B, and NK cells.

Yeast extract improves growth in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) fed a fishmeal-free diet and modulates the hepatic and distal intestine transcriptomic profile

This study evaluates the effects of adding yeast extract to a fishmeal-free diet on rainbow trout growth and transcriptomic profiles, finding improved growth and modulated gene expression.

Complex regulation of gamma-hemolysin expression impacts S. aureus virulence

This study shows that variations in gamma-hemolysin CB expression in S. aureus isolates correlate with mortality in a rabbit pneumonia model, driven by promoter activity, mRNA stability, and a single SNP affecting translation.
