Different factors control long-term versus short-term outcomes for bacterial colonisation of a urinary catheter

This study develops a mathematical model to show that long-term and short-term urinary catheter colonization are controlled by different factors, suggesting tailored management strategies for infection prevention.

A new paradigm for personal protection against ticks: efficacy of spatial repellents to reduce host seeking activities in three major tick species of medical importance

This study evaluates the efficacy of spatial repellents against three major tick species using a novel vertical climb assay, finding significant behavioral changes in ticks exposed to certain active ingredients.

Glyphosate and its formulations Roundup Bioflow and RangerPro alter bacterial and fungal community composition in the rat caecum microbiome

This study shows that glyphosate and its formulations Roundup Bioflow and RangerPro alter bacterial and fungal communities in rat caecum microbiomes, with formulations causing more pronounced changes than glyphosate alone.

Membrane-Tethered Mucin 1 is Stimulated by Interferon in Multiple Cell Types and Antagonizes Influenza A Virus Infection in Human Airway Epithelium

This study investigates how MUC1 interacts with influenza A virus in human airway epithelium and shows that MUC1 expression increases during infection, potentially limiting viral spread.

Transient Kinetic Proofreading

This paper introduces a stochastic model of kinetic proofreading in T-cells, showing receptor number affects ligand discrimination and presents metrics to evaluate activation trade-offs.
