Cytidine-phosphate-guanosine oligodeoxynucleotides in combination with CD40 ligand decrease periodontal inflammation and alveolar bone loss in a TLR9-independent manner by Qian Zhao (217607)

“…Results: For both WT and TLR9 KO mice, CpG significantly induced B cell proliferation, increased IL-10 mRNA expression and protein secretion of IL-10 but reduced CD1dhiCD5+ B cells population; local injection of CpG+CD40L mixture significantly decreased alveolar bone loss and the number of TRAP-positive cells adjacent to the alveolar bone surface, and significantly increased the gingival mRNA expression of IL-10 and decreased RANKL and IFN-γ mRNA expression. …”

Exotic Plant Infestation Is Associated with Decreased Modularity and Increased Numbers of Connectors in Mixed-Grass Prairie Pollination Networks by Diane L. Larson (2793268)

“…Objectives were to compare network-level effects of infestation as they propagate over the season in infested and non-infested (with respect to <i>C</i>. <i>arvense</i>) networks. We characterized plant-pollinator networks on 5 non-infested and 7 infested 1-ha plots during 4 sample periods that collectively covered the length of <i>C</i>. …”

Hookworm infection is associated with decreased CD4⁺ T cell counts in HIV-infected adult Ugandans by Bozena M. Morawski (4047085)

“…Generalized linear models assessed relationships between parasitic infection and clinical or demographic data. 35% of participants (71/202) tested positive for ≥1 helminth, mainly <i>N</i>. <i>americanus</i> (55/199, 28%), and 4.5% (9/202) were infected with ≥2 stool parasites. …”

Active spread of mtDNAs in the network can increase and decrease cell-to-cell variability from cell divisions. by Robert C. Glastad (10692277)

“…Rows show different values of initial mutant proportion, with <i>h</i> = 0.1 in the top row and <i>h</i> = 0.5 in the bottom row. The three columns for each panel give decreasing network heterogeneity, expressed via different seed numbers, 4, 16 and 64 (more seed points give a more homogeneous network). …”
