Eleven strategies for making reproducible research and open science training the norm at research institutions.

Reproducible research and open science practices have the potential to accelerate scientific progress by allowing others to reuse research outputs, and by promoting rigorous research that is more likely to yield trustworthy results. However, these practices are uncommon in many fields, so there is a clear need for training that helps and encourages researchers to integrate reproducible research and open science practices into their daily work. Here, we outline eleven strategies for making training in these practices the norm at research institutions.

Exposure to cigarette smoke and Chlamydia pneumoniae infection in mice: Effect on infectious burden, systemic dissemination and cytokine responses: A pilot study.

Cigarette smoke exposure has been considered a risk factor for infection with Chlamydia pneumoniae. C. pneumoniae infection is associated with respiratory tract infection and chronic respiratory disease, which is a serious public health concern.

Absence of Chlamydia pneumoniae and signs of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease in adolescents with systemic lupus erythematosus.

Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) have accelerated atherogenesis. A recent study suggested that Chlamydia pneumoniae infection might also be a contributing factor in the development of atherogenesis in patients with SLE. The objective of this study was to investigate the possible association of C.

In vitro models of acute and long-term continuous infection of human respiratory epithelial cells with Chlamydophila pneumoniae have opposing effects on host cell apoptosis.

Persistent infection with the obligate intracellular pathogen Chlamydophila pneumoniae has been implicated in the pathogenesis of many chronic diseases, but its mechanism remains unclear. Many pathogens have been found to modulate cellular apoptosis in order to survive and multiply. Chlamydial species were shown to both induce and inhibit host cell apoptosis depending on the experimental conditions.

Molecular characterization of Chlamydophila pneumoniae isolates from Western barred bandicoots.

Chlamydophila pneumoniae is an obligate intracellular respiratory pathogen that has been associated with pneumonia and chronic bronchitis, atherosclerosis, asthma and other chronic diseases in humans. However, C. pneumoniae is not restricted to humans, as originally thought, and can cause infections in several animal hosts.
