    Abstract Background: Chronic airway inflammation is the main driver of pathogenesis in respiratory diseases such as severe asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cystic fibrosis (CF) and bronchiectasis. While the role of common pathogens in airway inflammation is widely recognised, the influence of other microbiota members is still poorly understood.
    Methods: We hypothesised that the lung microbiota contains bacteria with immunomodulatory activity which modulate net levels of immune activation by key respiratory pathogens. Therefore, we assessed the immunomodulatory effect of several members of the lung microbiota frequently reported as present in CF lower respiratory tract samples.
    Results: We show that
    Conclusions: These findings indicate that the presence of

    Abstract Altered motor and social-communicative abilities in infancy have been linked to later ASD diagnosis. Most diagnostic instruments for ASD cannot be utilized until 12 months, and the average child is diagnosed substantially later. Imitation combines motor and social-communicative skills and is commonly atypical in infants at risk for ASD. However, few measures have been developed to assess infant imitation clinically. One barrier to the diagnostic age gap of ASD is accessibility of screening and diagnostic services. Utilization of caregiver report to reliably screen for ASD mitigates such barriers and could aid in earlier detection. The present study developed and validated a caregiver-report measure of infant imitation at 4, 6, and 9 months and explored the relationship between caregiver-reported imitation and motor abilities with later ASD risk.

    Abstract We compared the gastrointestinal (GI) tolerability and assessed for bioequivalent absorption of R-lipoic acid (LA) in people with progressive multiple sclerosis (MS) in a single-center, double-blind, randomized crossover trial. Participants randomly assigned to formulation sequence took 600 mg of R-LA or 1200 mg of a 1:1 racemic R,S-LA mixture in single daily doses for 7 to 10 days, underwent a washout of at least 7 days, and then took the other form of LA for 7 to 10 days. At the end of each period on LA, GI symptoms were assessed with GI questions from the Monitoring of Side Effects Scale. Serum LA concentrations were measured before and 60, 90, 120, 180, and 240 minutes after the first and last day's dose of each form of LA to derive an area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) and maximum serum concentration (C

    Abstract Physiological signals (e.g., heart rate, skin conductance) that were traditionally studied in neuroscientific laboratory research are currently being used in numerous real-life studies using wearable technology. Physiological signals obtained with wearables seem to offer great potential for continuous monitoring and providing biofeedback in clinical practice and healthcare research. The physiological data obtained from these signals has utility for both clinicians and researchers. Clinicians are typically interested in the day-to-day and moment-to-moment physiological reactivity of patients to real-life stressors, events, and situations or interested in the physiological reactivity to stimuli in therapy. Researchers typically apply signal analysis methods to the data by pre-processing the physiological signals, detecting artifacts, and extracting features, which can be a challenge considering the amount of data that needs to be processed. This paper describes the creation of a "Wearables" R package and a Shiny "E4 dashboard" application for an often-studied wearable, the Empatica E4. The package and Shiny application can be used to visualize the relationship between physiological signals and real-life stressors or stimuli, but can also be used to pre-process physiological data, detect artifacts, and extract relevant features for further analysis. In addition, the application has a batch process option to analyze large amounts of physiological data into ready-to-use data files. The software accommodates users with a downloadable report that provides opportunities for a careful investigation of physiological reactions in daily life. The application is freely available, thought to be easy to use, and thought to be easily extendible to other wearable devices. Future research should focus on the usability of the application and the validation of the algorithms.

    Abstract Detoxification of ergot-contaminated feed by ammonia would be a practical application, given that ammonia is routinely used in the agriculture industry. To assess the effects of ammonia on ergot alkaloids, natural ergot-contaminated wheat was ammoniated. The total concentration of ergot alkaloids (R- and S-epimers) decreased after exposure to ammonia (8–29%). Separately, the total R-epimers decreased in concentration (40–66%), whereas the total S-epimers increased (21–81%). Specific ergot alkaloids demonstrated degradation and/or epimerization after exposure to ammonia, potentially associated with structural differences, and influenced the total concentrations observed. Ammonization of ergot standards resulted in potential degradation products and epimerization, supporting the above results. The use of ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry provides an updated assessment of the detoxification potential of ammonia for ergot alkaloids and the quantification of the S-epimers. Ammonia alters the R- and S-epimers of ergot alkaloids, which may lead to a potential practical detoxification process of ergot-contaminated feed.

    Abstract Type I CRISPR-Cas systems employ multi-subunit Cascade effector complexes to target foreign nucleic acids for destruction. Here, we present structures of D. vulgaris type I-C Cascade at various stages of double-stranded (ds)DNA target capture, revealing mechanisms that underpin PAM recognition and Cascade allosteric activation. We uncover an interesting mechanism of non-target strand (NTS) DNA stabilization via stacking interactions with the "belly" subunits, securing the NTS in place. This "molecular seatbelt" mechanism facilitates efficient R-loop formation and prevents dsDNA reannealing. Additionally, we provide structural insights into how two anti-CRISPR (Acr) proteins utilize distinct strategies to achieve a shared mechanism of type I-C Cascade inhibition by blocking PAM scanning. These observations form a structural basis for directional R-loop formation and reveal how different Acr proteins have converged upon common molecular mechanisms to efficiently shut down CRISPR immunity.

    Abstract 1. Measuring vector-human contact in a natural setting can inform precise targeting of interventions to interrupt transmission of vector-borne diseases. One approach is to directly match human DNA in vector bloodmeals to the individuals who were bitten using genotype panels of discriminative short tandem repeats (STRs). Existing methods for matching STR profiles in bloodmeals to the people bitten preclude the ability to match most incomplete profiles and multi-source bloodmeals to bitten individuals. 2. We developed bistro, an R package that implements 3 preexisting STR matching methods as well as the package's namesake, bistro, a new algorithm described here. bistro employs forensic analysis methods to calculate likelihood ratios and match human STR profiles in bloodmeals to people using a dynamic threshold. We evaluated the algorithm's accuracy and compared it to existing matching approaches using a publicly-available panel of 188 single-source and 100 multi-source samples containing DNA from 50 known human sources. Then we applied it to match 777 newly field-collected mosquito bloodmeals to a database of 645 people. 3. The R package implements four STR matching algorithms in user-friendly functions with clear documentation. bistro correctly matched 99% (184/185) of profiles in single-source samples, and 63% (225/359) of profiles from multi-source samples, resulting in a sensitivity of 0.75 (vs < 0.51 for other algorithms). The specificity of bistro was 0.9998 (vs. 1 for other algorithms). Furthermore, bistro identified 80% (729/909) of all possible matches for field-derived mosquitoes, yielding 1.4x more matches than existing algorithms. 4. bistro identifies more correct bloodmeal-human matches than existing approaches, enabling more accurate and robust analyses of vector-human contact in natural settings. The bistro R package and corresponding documentation allow for straightforward uptake of this algorithm by others.

    Abstract A series of bitopic ligands based on Fallypride with a flexible secondary binding fragment (SBF) were prepared with the goal of preparing a D 3 R-selective compound. The effect of the flexible linker ( ( R , S ) -trans -2a – d ), SBFs ( ( R , S ) -trans -2h – j ), and the chirality of orthosteric binding fragments (OBFs) ( ( S , R ) -trans -d , ( S , R ) -trans -i , ( S , S ) -trans -d , ( S , S ) -trans -i, ( R , R ) -trans -d, and ( R , R ) -trans -i ) were evaluated in in vitro binding assays. Computational chemistry studies revealed that the interaction of the fragment binding to the SBF increased the distance between the pyrrolidine nitrogen and ASP110 3.32 of the D 3 R, thereby reducing the D 3 R affinity to a suboptimal level.
