    Abstract Inter-subject variability in human milk microbiome is well known; however, its origins and possible relationship to the mother's diet are still debated. We investigated associations between maternal nutrition, milk fatty acids composition and microbiomes in mother-infant dyads. Breast milk and infant fecal samples were collected across three time points (one week, one month and three months postpartum) from 22 mother-infant pairs. Food frequency questionnaires for the months of pregnancy and three months postpartum were collected. Milk fatty acids were analyzed by GC-MS and the microbiome in breast milk and infant feces was determined by 16S rRNA sequencing. Statistical interactions were computed using Spearman's method and corrected for multiple comparisons. We found significant negative correlation between

    Abstract Neuroblastoma is a lethal childhood solid tumor of developing peripheral nerves. Two percent of children with neuroblastoma develop opsoclonus myoclonus ataxia syndrome (OMAS), a paraneoplastic disease characterized by cerebellar and brainstem-directed autoimmunity but typically with outstanding cancer-related outcomes. We compared tumor transcriptomes and tumor-infiltrating T and B cell repertoires from 38 OMAS subjects with neuroblastoma to 26 non-OMAS-associated neuroblastomas. We found greater B and T cell infiltration in OMAS-associated tumors compared to controls and showed that both were polyclonal expansions. Tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs) were enriched in OMAS-associated tumors. We identified significant enrichment of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II allele HLA-DOB

    Abstract Inter-subject variability in human milk microbiome is well known; however, its origins and possible relationship to the mother’s diet are still debated. We investigated associations between maternal nutrition, milk fatty acids composition and microbiomes in mother–infant dyads. Breast milk and infant fecal samples were collected across three time points (one week, one month and three months postpartum) from 22 mother–infant pairs. Food frequency questionnaires for the months of pregnancy and three months postpartum were collected. Milk fatty acids were analyzed by GC–MS and the microbiome in breast milk and infant feces was determined by 16S rRNA sequencing. Statistical interactions were computed using Spearman’s method and corrected for multiple comparisons. We found significant negative correlation between Streptococcus relative abundance in maternal milk and intake of unsaturated fatty acids and folic acid at one month postpartum. At three months postpartum, vitamin B-12 consumption was significantly associated with a single operational taxonomic unit belonging to Streptococcus. Comparison between milk microbiome and lipid composition showed, one-month postpartum, significant negative correlation between Streptococcus relative abundance and the abundance of oleic acid. Additional correlations were detected between Staphylococcus hominis and two medium-chain saturated fatty acids. Our results reinforce the hypothesis that maternal nutrition may affect milk microbiome.

    Abstract Summary: Neuroblastoma is a lethal childhood solid tumor of developing peripheral nerves. Two percent of children with neuroblastoma develop opsoclonus myoclonus ataxia syndrome (OMAS), a paraneoplastic disease characterized by cerebellar and brainstem-directed autoimmunity but typically with outstanding cancer-related outcomes. We compared tumor transcriptomes and tumor-infiltrating T and B cell repertoires from 38 OMAS subjects with neuroblastoma to 26 non-OMAS-associated neuroblastomas. We found greater B and T cell infiltration in OMAS-associated tumors compared to controls and showed that both were polyclonal expansions. Tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs) were enriched in OMAS-associated tumors. We identified significant enrichment of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II allele HLA-DOB∗01:01 in OMAS patients. OMAS severity scores were associated with the expression of several candidate autoimmune genes. We propose a model in which polyclonal auto-reactive B lymphocytes act as antigen-presenting cells and drive TLS formation, thereby supporting both sustained polyclonal T cell-mediated anti-tumor immunity and paraneoplastic OMAS neuropathology.

    Abstract Abstract Microfluidic sorting offers a unique ability to isolate large numbers of cells for bulk proteomic or metabolomics studies but is currently limited by low throughput and persistent clogging at low flow rates. Recently we uncovered the physical principles governing the inertial focusing of particles in high-Reynolds numbers. Here, we superimpose high Reynolds inertial focusing on Dean vortices, to rapidly isolate large quantities of young and adult yeast from mixed populations at a rate of 107 cells/min/channel. Using a new algorithm to rapidly quantify budding scars in isolated yeast populations and system-wide proteomic analysis, we demonstrate that protein quality control and expression of established yeast aging markers such as CalM, RPL5, and SAM1 may change after the very first replication events, rather than later in the aging process as previously thought. Our technique enables the large-scale isolation of microorganisms based on minute differences in size (±1.5 μm), a feat unmatched by other technologies.

    Abstract Apoptosis is a fundamental biologic process. Molecular imaging of apoptosis in vivo may have important implications for clinical practice, assisting in early detection of disease, monitoring of disease course, assessment of treatment efficacy, or development of new therapies. Although a PET probe for clinical imaging of apoptosis would be highly desirable, this is yet an unachieved goal, mainly because of the required challenging integration of various features, including sensitive and selective detection of the apoptotic cells, clinical aspects such as favorable biodistribution and safety profiles, and compatibility with the radiochemistry and imaging routines of clinical PET centers. Several approaches are being developed to address this challenge, all based on novel small-molecule structures targeting various steps of the apoptotic cascade. This novel concept of small-molecule PET probes for apoptosis is the focus of this review.

    Abstract Current pre-mortem diagnosis of neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is based on clinical assessment of neurological deficits. However, symptoms and signs emerge only late in the disease course, thus indicating an urgent need for novel tools for detection of the underlying neuropathology. NST-729 (MW=310) is a novel molecular imaging probe, which is a member of the ApoSense family of small molecule detectors of apoptosis. We now report on the ability of NST-729, upon its systemic administration in vivo, to detect characteristic neuropathology in pre-clinical models of AD (Tg2576 transgenic mice) and ALS (transgenic SOD-1 G93A mutation mice). In the AD model, NST-729 clearly and selectively bound and imaged amyloid plaques, in excellent correlation with a typical amyloid ex vivo staining (Congo red). In the ALS model, NST-729 distinctly and selectively imaged multiple degenerating neurons in the motor nuclei in the pons, medulla and spinal cord, manifesting numerous multifocal irregularities and disruptions of neuritic projections, typical of axonal apoptosis. Study results therefore support the potential utility of NST-729 as a cross-disease biomarker for neurodegeneration, and also its potential role as the first molecular probe for ALS. Future radio-labeled NST-729 analogues may assist in the early diagnosis of disease, and in the development of neuroprotective therapies for these severe neurological disorders.

    Abstract Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of a structured gradual exposure protocol (SGEP) with extensively heated and baked milk in promoting allergy resolution in children with cow milk allergy (CMA).
    Study design: In a case control study, children with CMA aged 1-4 years who were treated with SGEP including extensively heated and baked milk, were compared with children treated with strict avoidance. Data were collected from medical records and from validated telephone questionnaires. Data analysis was performed using a nonparametric Kaplan-Meier and proportional hazard Cox regression model, after evaluation of the adequacy of the case control matching.
    Results: There were 43 children with milk allergy-26 (62%) males with a mean age at intervention of 21 months (range, 12-47 months)-who were treated with SGEP and followed to a mean age of 40 months (range, 20-82 months). The median age at resolution of CMA was compared with a matched group of 67 children treated with strict avoidance at least until 4 years of age or followed until earlier resolution, with a mean age at follow-up of 71 months (range, 11-176 months). The median estimated age at CMA resolution in the SGEP group was 36 months (95% CI, 34.5-49.7) compared with 98 months (95% CI, 82.4-114.1) in controls (P < .001). At last follow-up, 86% of treated children were tolerant to unheated milk proteins vs 52% of controls (P = .003).
    Conclusion: A structured protocol with extensively heated and baked milk seems to promote faster resolution of CMA.
