Neutralizing TNFα restores glucocorticoid sensitivity in a mouse model of neutrophilic airway inflammation
Lien Dejager,Karen Dendoncker,Mieke Eggermont,Jolien Souffriau,F. Van Hauwermeiren,Monique Willart,E. Van Wonterghem,Thomas Naessens,Marlies Ballegeer,Sofie Vandevyver,Hamida Hammad,Bart N. Lambrecht,Bart N. Lambrecht,K. De Bosscher,Johan Grooten,Claude Libert +15 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that TNFα reduces the responsiveness to GCs in a mouse model of neutrophilic airway inflammation, demonstrating that antagonizing TNF α may offer a new strategy for therapeutic intervention in GC-resistant asthma.

Isolation of Vibrionaceae from wild blue mussel (Mytilus edulis) adults and their impact on blue mussel larviculture
Mieke Eggermont,Peter Bossier,Gde Sasmita Julyantoro Pande,Vyshal Delahaut,Ali Md Rayhan,Nipa Gupta,Shikder Saiful Islam,Elsie Yumo,Nancy Nevejan,Patrick Sorgeloos,Bruno Gomez-Gil,Tom Defoirdt +11 more
TL;DR: This study isolated 17 strains from induced mortality events in healthy wild-caught blue mussels adults and demonstrated that they caused between 17% and 98% mortality in blue mussel larvae in a newly developed, highly controlled immersion challenge test model.

Photobacterium sanguinicancri sp. nov. isolated from marine animals
Bruno Gomez-Gil,Ana Roque,Guiomar Rotllant,Jesús L. Romalde,Alejandra Doce,Mieke Eggermont,Tom Defoirdt +6 more
TL;DR: The phenotypic, genotypic and genomic data presented here clearly place these strains as a coherent group within the genus Photobacteria, for which the name Photobacterium sanguinicancri sp.

The blue mussel inside: 3D visualization and description of the vascular-related anatomy of Mytilus edulis to unravel hemolymph extraction
Mieke Eggermont,Pieter Cornillie,Manuel Dierick,Dominique Adriaens,Nancy Nevejan,Peter Bossier,Wim Van den Broeck,Patrick Sorgeloos,Tom Defoirdt,Annelies Declercq +9 more
TL;DR: 3D-reconstructions indicate that puncturing hemolymph from the pericard, anterior aorta, atria and ventricle in a non-invasive way should be possible and result in a detailed description and visualization of the vascular-related anatomy of Mytilus edulis.

Stimulation of heterotrophic bacteria associated with wild-caught blue mussel (Mytilus edulis) adults results in mass mortality
TL;DR: The growth of heterotrophic bacteria associated with wild-caught blue mussel adults was stimulated by the addition of organic matter to the rearing water, and resulted in complete mortality of the animals after 6 days, and this could be prevented by the added of antibiotics.
