Examining the impact of probiotic Lactiplantibacillus pentosus 6MMI on inhibiting biofilm formation, adhesion, and virulence gene expression in Listeria monocytogenes ATCC 19115 by Behrooz Alizadeh Behbahani, Mostafa Rahmati-Joneidabad, Morteza Taki

“…Additionally, the CFS inhibited the transcription of the plcB, hly, and prfA genes in L. monocytogenes, suggesting a potential reduction in bacterial virulence through decreased hemolysin release and modulation of phospholipase activity. In the next step of the study, the Gaussian Process Regression (GPR) model accurately predicted bile tolerance and acid parameters with a high R2 of 0.99 and minimal Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) values of 0.33 % and 0.21 %, respectively. …”

Metagenomics: a new frontier for routine pathology testing of gastrointestinal pathogens by Nicola Z. Angel, Mitchell J. Sullivan, Areej Alsheikh-Hussain, Liang Fang, Samantha MacDonald, Alena Pribyl, Blake Wills, Gene W. Tyson, Philip Hugenholtz, Donovan H. Parks, Paul Griffin, David L. A. Wood

“…However, thorough testing for a wider range of causal agents is time consuming and remains limited to a subset of pathogenic organisms. Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) allows the identification of all pathogens in a sample in a single test, without a reliance on culture or introduction of target selection bias. …”

Differential gray matter correlates and machine learning prediction of abuse and internalizing psychopathology in adolescent females by Sara A. Heyn, Taylor J. Keding, Josh Cisler, Katie McLaughlin, Ryan J. Herringa

“…First, we characterized how differences in GMV associated with childhood abuse exposure depend on the presence or absence of IP using voxel-based morphometry (VBM). Next, we trained convolutional neural networks to predict individual psychopathology and abuse experience and estimated the strength and direction of importance of each structural feature in making individual-level predictions using Shapley values. …”
