Microbes often live in moving fluids. Despite the multitude of implications that flow has on microbial ecology and environmental microbiology, only recently have experimental tools and conceptual frameworks from fluid physics been applied systematically to further our knowledge of the behavior of microbes in flow. This nascent research field, which truly straddles biology and physics, has already produced important contributions to our understanding of the physical interaction between microbes and flow, both in bulk fluid and close to surfaces, at the same time revealing the richness and complexity of the resulting dynamics.

Absolute bacterial biomass estimation in the human gut is crucial for understanding microbiome dynamics and host-microbe interactions. Current methods for quantifying bacterial biomass in stool, such as flow cytometry, qPCR, or spike-ins (i.e.

Increases in mean lesional iron content by quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) by ≥6% and/or vascular permeability by dynamic contrast enhanced quantitative perfusion (DCEQP) by ≥40% on MRI have been associated with new symptomatic hemorrhage (SH) in cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs). It is not known if plasma biomarkers can reflect these changes within the lesion proper. This cohort study enrolled 46 CCM patients with SH in the prior year.

Background And Objectives: Gut microbial symbionts have been shown to influence the development of autoimmunity in multiple sclerosis (MS). Emerging research points to an important relationship between the microbial-IgA interface and MS pathophysiology. IgA-secreting B cells are observed in the MS brain, and shifts in gut bacteria-IgA binding have been described in some patients with MS.

The first evidence that Orthopoxvirus induced the expansion and the recall of effector innate Vδ2T-cells was described in a macaque model. Although, an engagement of αβ T-cells specific response in patients infected with human monkeypox (Mpox) was demonstrated, little is known about the role of γδ T-cells during Mpox infection. IFN-γ-producing γδ T-cells in the resistance to poxviruses may a key role in inducing a protective type 1 memory immunity.
