Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the leading cause of hospitalizations among infants in the United States. New strategies to prevent RSV among infants and high-risk young children include the maternal RSVpreF vaccine (Abrysvo, Pfizer Inc.) and nirsevimab (Beyfortus, Sanofi and AstraZeneca), a long-acting monoclonal antibody.

Background: Diaphorina citri is an insect vector of "Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus" (CLas), the gram-negative bacterial pathogen associated with citrus greening disease. Control measures rely on pesticides with negative impacts on the environment, natural ecosystems, and human and animal health. In contrast, gene-targeting methods have the potential to specifically target the vector species and/or reduce pathogen transmission.

Aim: To characterize the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and plasma extracellular vesicles (EVs) and explore their proteomic cargo in healthy pregnant women compared to those with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and periodontitis.

Methods: One-hundred and four pregnant women were recruited at 24-30 gestation weeks. GDM was diagnosed by an oral glucose tolerance test.

Article Synopsis
  • Cerebral white matter lesions (WMLs) in people with multiple sclerosis (pwMS) are linked to the loss of myelin-producing cells, and current treatments aim to reduce these lesions and associated disabilities.
  • A new genetic testing program identified risk factors for WML formation and suggested personalized lifestyle changes and nutrient optimization as possible preventive measures.
  • A 10-year pilot study found that pwMS who followed these lifestyle interventions exhibited significantly smaller WML volumes compared to those who did not, highlighting the potential of dietary and lifestyle changes in managing MS, though further research is necessary.*
