Antibiotic pretreatment inhibits white band disease infection by suppressing the bacterial pathobiome by Jason D. Selwyn, Jason D. Selwyn, Brecia A. Despard, Brecia A. Despard, Kai A. Galvan-Dubois, Kai A. Galvan-Dubois, Emily C. Trytten, Emily C. Trytten, Steven V. Vollmer, Steven V. Vollmer

“…We found the prophylactic use of antibiotics led to significantly reduced infection rates in disease exposed corals with a 30-percentage point decrease in the infection rate. Analyses of 16S rRNA amplicon gene sequencing data in the disease exposed corals demonstrated that antibiotic pretreatment resulted in coral microbiomes which were less speciose and contained relatively fewer Vibrio spp. than untreated corals, indicating that the benefit of the antibiotic pretreatment was its ability to reduce the relative abundance of intrinsic secondary opportunists and/or opportunistic pathogens suggesting their likely importance to the etiology of WBD. …”

Kalirin, a Key Player in Synapse Formation, Is Implicated in Human Diseases by Prashant Mandela, Xin-Ming Ma

“…In cultured hippocampal/cortical neurons, overexpression of Kalirin-7 increases spine density and spine size whereas reduction of endogenous Kalirin-7 expression decreases synapse number, and spine density. In Kalirin-7 knockout mice, spine length, synapse number, and postsynaptic density (PSD) size are decreased in hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons; these morphological alterations are accompanied by a deficiency in long-term potentiation (LTP) and a decreased spontaneous excitatory postsynaptic current (sEPSC) frequency. …”
