Highly specialized carbohydrate metabolism capability in Bifidobacterium strain associated with intestinal barrier maturation in early preterm infants

Repertoire of naturally acquired maternal antibodies transferred to infants for protection against shigellosis

This study measures maternal antibodies against Shigella in mother-infant pairs in Malawi, finding high placental transfer of protein-specific IgG and LPS-specific IgG, but lower SBA and OPKA activity in cord blood.

Functional and structural modifications of influenza antibodies during pregnancy

This study examines how influenza antibodies change structurally and functionally during pregnancy, showing reduced inflammation and increased antibody retention.

Human breast milk enhances intestinal mucosal barrier function and innate immunity in a pediatric human enteroid model

This study shows human breast milk improves intestinal barrier function and innate immunity in a pediatric enteroid model compared to commercial formula.

Epithelial and neutrophil interactions and coordinated response to Shigella in a human intestinal enteroid-neutrophil co-culture model

This paper develops an ex vivo human intestinal enteroid-PMN co-culture model to study PMN-epithelial interactions and Shigella infection responses, showing PMN phenotypic adaptation and coordinated innate immune responses.
