Impact of Waddlia chondrophila infection on pregnancy in the mouse
The intracellular bacterium Waddlia chondrophila, which belongs to the Chlamydiales order, was found to be associated with miscarriage in humans.There is little to no knowledge regarding the mode of infection, impact on the neonate and pathophysiology of this emerging bacterium.We have previously shown that W.chondrophila induces a systemic infecti
Relationships between Regional Radiation Doses and Cognitive Decline in Children Treated with Cranio-Spinal Irradiation for Posterior Fossa Tumors
Pediatric posterior fossa tumor (PFT) survivors who have been treated with cranial radiation therapy often suffer from cognitive impairments that might relate to IQ decline.Radiotherapy (RT) distinctly affects brain regions involved in different cognitive functions.However, the relative contribution of regional irradiation to the different cognitiv
Formulation, inflammation, and RNA sensing impact the immunogenicity of self-amplifying RNA vaccines
To be effective, RNA vaccines require both in Recorders situ translation and the induction of an immune response to recruit cells to the site of immunization.These factors can pull in opposite directions with the inflammation reducing expression of the vaccine antigen.We investigated how formulation affects the acute systemic cytokine response to a
