The propensity of fructose to induce metabolic dysfunction is dependent on the baseline diet, length of the dietary exposure, and sex of the mice.

This study shows that fructose's impact on metabolism depends on baseline diet, exposure duration, and sex in mice.

Combining in vivo and in vitro approaches to better understand host-pathogen interactions

This study combines in vivo and in vitro approaches to show that host nutrition primarily affects bacterial growth in a host-parasite system, rather than host immune responses.

Nutribloods: novel synthetic lepidopteran haemolymphs for understanding insect-microbe interactions in vitro

The paper introduces synthetic haemolymphs (nutribloods) to study how nutrient profiles affect microbial growth in insect-pathogen interactions.
