TL;DR: It is shown that spontaneous locomotor activity is diminished by maternal infection with the mouse-adapted influenza A/WSN/33 (H1N1) virus, and it is found that the cortical 5-HT2A receptor-dependent signaling pathways are significantly altered in the offspring of infected mothers, showing higher c-fos, egr-1, and eGr-2 expression in response to the hallucinogenic drug DOI.

TL;DR: The development of a simple, sensitive, specific, and safe screening assay for the rapid detection of NAbs against highly pathogenic influenza viruses under biosafety level 2 (BSL-2) conditions is described.

TL;DR: The presence of DENV‐specific antibodies in ZIKV‐infected pregnant mice significantly increased placental damage, fetal growth restriction, and fetal resorption and was associated with enhanced viral replication in the placenta that coincided with an increased frequency of infected trophoblasts.

TL;DR: It is suggested that despite the similarities to effectively counteract innate immune responses in vitro, the NS1 proteins of IBV, ICV, or IDV do not fully complement the functions of IAV NS1, resulting in deficient viral replication and pathogenesis in vivo.

TL;DR: A novel chimeric flu vaccine expressing the small immunodominant B cell epitope of Aβ42 is created that might be beneficial for treatment of AD patients as well as for prevention of development of AD pathology in pre-symptomatic individuals while concurrently boosting immunity against influenza.
