Determinants of heightened newborn vulnerability to norovirus diarrhea New work from @KarstLab demonstrates in mice that neonatal metabolic immaturity and breastmilk bile acids underlie the newborn’s heightened vulnerability to norovirus disease cell.com/cell-host-microbe/a…

#Norovirus claims the lives of at least 50,000 children every year. The @KarstLab has compiled the first-ever study that identifies the role of breast milk bile acids — a breakthrough that can lower infections in newborns. Learn about their novel study: go.ufl.edu/pnhvuof.

Come join us at UF! I joined 1,5 years ago and I love the place. Great faculties, great friends. Contact me if you are concerned about the Florida political landscape. I will give you my honest French opinion! It is really not as bad as the media say.

A robust norovirus diarrhea model using newly characterized murine norovirus strain, WU23! Type I IFNs are important for control while type III IFNs are dispensable (may even exacerbate disease🤔). Systemic infection common among diarrheagenic MNV strains. rdcu.be/dbmW6

“Students would learn to appreciate that research projects rarely proceed as expected, and that unexpected developments and discoveries typically evolve from an unpredictable interplay between questions and data.” Thank you - a really great article!
