Red Light Mitigates the Deteriorating Placental Extracellular Matrix in Late Onset of Preeclampsia and Improves the Trophoblast Behavior by Jakara Griffin, John G. Krolikowski, Kenisha Kounga, Janine Struve, Agnes Keszler, Brian Lindemer, Michelle Bordas, Grant Broeckel, Nicole L. Lohr, Dorothee Weihrauch

“…Previously, we established that when the extracellular matrix is exposed to oxidative stress, trophoblast function is impaired, and this may lead to improper placentation. …”

A temporary cholesterol-rich diet and bacterial extracellular matrix factors favor Salmonella spp. biofilm formation in the cecum by Alonso Cruz-Cruz, Megan E. Schreeg, John S. Gunn

“…Furthermore, bacterial biofilm-like aggregates were associated with the cecum epithelium at 7 and 21 days post-infection (DPI) in mice on a lithogenic diet (Ld) and correlated with an increase in cecal cholesterol at 21 DPI. Salmonella’s extracellular matrix (ECM) was demonstrated as important in colonizing the cecum, as survival and aggregate formation significantly decreased when mice were infected with a quadruple ECM mutant strain. …”
