Introduction: This study investigates the potential of BB05 (BB05) in mitigating depressive symptoms in a mouse model of Chronic Unpredictable Mild Stress (CUMS), with fluoxetine as a positive control.
Methods And Results: High-dose BB05 (1.0 × 10 CFU/kg, BB05H) significantly reduced anxiety- and depression-like behaviors in CUMS mice, as measured by the open field test, tail suspension test, and forced swim test. BB05 treatment also reduced pathological ileal damage, alleviated inflammation, and lowered serum levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and TNF-α. Additionally, BB05 increased serum 5-HT levels and decreased ACTH concentrations. Mechanistic analysis revealed that BB05 exerts antidepressant effects by activating the AKT/mTOR signaling pathway in the prefrontal cortex, promoting neuroprotection, neurogenesis, and synaptic plasticity.
Discussion: These findings suggest that BB05, particularly at higher doses, effectively alleviates CUMS-induced depressive behaviors and improves physiological outcomes, supporting the use of probiotics as a potential treatment for depression by targeting the AKT/mTOR pathway.

Typical antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) with valine-alanine linkage, often conjugated with the amino group in payloads, face challenges when interacting with hydroxyl group-containing payloads. Herein, we introduced a transformative Val-Ala-based double self-immolative linker-payload platform, reshaping ADCs by optimizing hydroxyl group-containing payload integration. Utilizing this platform, was successfully conjugated with the hydroxyl group-containing payload DXd using trastuzumab (FDA022) as the monoclonal antibody (mAb).

Diarrhea of college students (DCS) is a prevalent issue among college students, affecting their daily lives and academic performance. This study aims to explore the potential effect of BB05 supplements on the DCS. Initially, fifty healthy and fifty diarrheal students were recruited in the observational experiment and allocated into control and diarrhea groups, respectively.

Antibody BB05 also reacted with homologous proteins from Bordetella pertussis and Bordetella parapertussis but not with another 12 organisms from various bacterial genera. Passive injection of BB05 antibody protected mice from aerosol infection with B.
