Cell Host & Microbe
@cellhostmicrobe
The scientific editors of Cell Host & Microbe, a Cell Press journal, bring you the latest information and insights from the forefront of host-microbe research.
- Rethinking healthy eating in light of gut microbiome: This review examines how diet-#microbiome-host interactions can validate, refine & innovate #dietary guidelines. Integration of microbiome science into #nutrition research will improve healthy eating cell.com/cell-host-micr…
- Gut microbiome lipid metabolism and its impact on host physiology. Featured Review from @ericmichbrown Clardy @HMS_BCMP @TheXavierLab examining # lipids that #microbiome species can synthesize and their function on host physiology cell.com/cell-host-micr…
- Infection and Rapid Transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in Ferrets: New work shows that ferrets are highly susceptible to #SARSCoV2 infection and effectively transmit the #virus by direct or indirect contact, recapitulating human #infection and transmission cell.com/pb-assets/jour…
- Type I & III Interferons –Induction, Signaling, Evasion, &Application to Combat COVID-19: Park& @VirusesImmunity review protective vs.pathogenic roles IFNs in #coronavirus infections & discuss prophylactic/therapeutic potential of #interferons for #COVID19 cell.com/cell-host-micr…
- Opposing diet, #microbiome & metabolite mechanisms in IBD. Combo of genetics, reduced dietary fiber &mucin-degrading bacteria triggers IBD. Mucus loss promotes Th1 that drives #colitis. Fiber-free exclusive enteral nutrition prevents colitis @EricCMartens1 cell.com/cell-host-micr…
- Dietary changes leave genetic signature in #microbiota: Bacteroides thetatiotaomicron evolves under nutritional changes. #Diet changes increase intraspecies diversity & mutations w/Western-style diet favor host mucus consumption @DapaTanja @KarinaXavierLab cell.com/cell-host-micr…
- An infectious cDNA clone of SARS-CoV-2: @TheMenacheryLab Shi lab @utmbhealth &Co generated an infectious cDNA clone of #SARSCoV2 & mNeonGreen reporter virus. Recombinant SARS-CoV-2 and reporter virus replicate as efficiently as original clinical isolate marlin-prod.literatumonline.com/pb-assets/prod…
- Innate Immune Responses to Human Gut #Microbiota from Phylum to Strain: @MatthewSpindl13 @jeremiahfaith1 examine how innate immune system responds to 277 human gut commensal #bacterial strains. Taxa induce signatures w/predictable immune phenotypes in mice cell.com/cell-host-micr…
- #Microbiota modulation of intestinal epithelial homeostasis. @theGarrettLab show F. rodentium promotes epithelial proliferation & turnover by dampening retinoic acid production that supports survival of eosinophils, which suppress pro-proliferative IFNγ cell.com/cell-host-micr…
- Horizontal gene transfer among host-associated microbes. @doctor_jams @MartaLourenco21 @gordoisabel1 review studies on mechanisms of horizontal gene transfer & complex interactions that these may entail in driving eco-evolutionary dynamics of #microbiomes cell.com/cell-host-micr…
- Going viral: The role of mobile genetic elements in bacterial immunity @BeatrizBeamud @FabBenz @dbikard review work revealing that most bacterial defense systems are carried by mobile elements, indicating complex evolutionary forces driving immunity cell.com/cell-host-micr…
- New work on early-life microbiota & obesity. @catie_shelton @Mari_Byndloss show early #antibiotics exacerbate diet-induced #obesity by disrupting #microbiota-epithelium interactions. Lactobacillus metabolite-phenyllactic acid-regulates PPARγ to limit fat cell.com/cell-host-micr…
- Vaginal microbiota transfer to cesarean-born infants. In a triple-blind randomized controlled trial, new work shows that VMT is likely safe and may partially normalize neurodevelopment and the fecal #microbiome in #cesarean-born infants cell.com/cell-host-micr…
