Humanized microbiota mice as a model of recurrent Clostridium difficile disease

TL;DR: The identification and testing of human-derived microbial communities within a humanized microbiota mouse model may enable a higher rate of successful transfer of bacteria-based treatments from the lab to human patients due to the microbes involved initiating from, and being adapted to, the human GI tract.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pinned polymer model of posture control.

TL;DR: A phenomenological model of human posture control is posited that accurately reproduces the two-point correlation functions of experimental posture data and makes predictions for the response function of the postural control system.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antibiotic efficacy — context matters

TL;DR: Recent studies on antibiotic efficacy are reviewed and insights gained on the involvement of cellular respiration, redox stress and altered metabolism in antibiotic lethality are highlighted.

Designing microbial consortia with defined social interactions

TL;DR: It is shown that models derived from two-strain consortia can be used to design three- and four-strains ecosystems with predictable behaviors and further extended to provide insights into community dynamics in space.
Journal ArticleDOI

Deep learning identifies synergistic drug combinations for treating COVID-19.

TL;DR: In this article, a neural network architecture was proposed to jointly learn drug-target interaction and drug-drug synergy for new diseases with limited combination data, such as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).
