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…
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…
#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 #microbiomescell.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…
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…
