Molecular mechanisms underlying the evolution of a color polyphenism by genetic accommodation in the tobacco hornworm, <i>Manduca sexta</i> Open
How organisms evolve under extreme environmental changes is a critical question in the face of global climate change. Genetic accommodation is an evolutionary process by which natural selection acts on novel phenotypes generated through re…

Birth and household exposures are associated with changes to skin bacterial communities during infancy Open
Background and objectives Microbial exposures during infancy shape the development of the microbiome, the collection of microbes living in and on the body, which in turn directs immune system training. Newborns acquire a substantial quanti…

Lichenoid tissue eruption of the vulva associated with immune checkpoint inhibitor Open
What is known about this subject in regard to women and their families? Patients with vulvar dermatoses wait an average of 2.9 years until reaching a diagnosis. Although cutaneous toxicity is a well-known side effect of immune checkpoint i…

Mass spectrometry-detected MGUS is associated with obesity and other novel modifiable risk factors in a high-risk population Open
Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) is a premalignant condition of multiple myeloma with few known risk factors. The emergence of mass spectrometry (MS) for the detection of MGUS has provided new opportunities to eval…

Large-Scale Characterization and Functional Assessment of Adaptive Immunity in Patients with MGUS and SMM Reveals Significant Defects Open
Introduction Patients with Monoclonal Gammopathy of Undetermined Significance (MGUS) or Smoldering Multiple Myeloma (SMM) exhibit signs of immune dysregulation despite their early stage of oncogenesis. The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and subsequen…

Interactions with alloparents are associated with the diversity of infant skin and fecal bacterial communities in Chicago, United States Open
Introduction: Social interactions shape the infant microbiome by providing opportunities for caregivers to spread bacteria through physical contact. With most research focused on the impact of maternal–infant contact on the infant gut micr…

Infant Age Moderates Associations between Infant Temperament and Maternal Technology Use during Infant Feeding and Care Open
Previous research illustrated that infants’ temperamental traits shape parents’ behaviors, but parents’ behaviors can also elicit or intensify infants’ behaviors in ways that shape temperament. One understudied aspect of parenting that may…
