bioRxiv - the preprint server for biology, operated by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, a research and educational institution

The present disclosure relates to methods and compositions for increasing or extending lifespan and/or healthspan and/or delaying aging using agents which mimic the effects of time-restricted feeding ...

Resistant starch (RS) consumption can have beneficial effects on metabolic health, but the response, in terms of effects on the gut microbiota and host physiology, varies between individuals. Facto...

Bacterial biofilms are aggregates of surface-associated cells embedded in an extracellular polysaccharide (EPS) matrix. Here, the authors describe a unique mode of collective movement by self-propelle...

Our current knowledge regarding microbial bile acid transformations comes primarily from biochemical studies on a relatively small number of species or from bioinformatic predictions that rely on homo...

Abstract. Bacteria in the genus Wolbachia have evolved numerous strategies to manipulate arthropod sex, including the conversion of would-be male offspring

Barron et al. demonstrate that interactions between members of the Drosophila microbiome influence the pH of the fly environment. Acidification by the microbiome, primarily through production of lacti...

Aim The symbioses between corals and endosymbiotic dinoflagellates have been described as a flexible relationship whose dynamics could serve as a source of resilience for coral reef ecosystems. Howe...

Humans constantly encounter new microbes, but few become long-term residents of the adult gut microbiome. Classical theories predict that colonization is determined by the availability of open niches,...

Summary: Warming oceans threaten marine invertebrates. Heat disrupts acid–base homeostasis in a model symbiotic sea anemone regardless of symbiont presence or function, highlighting bleaching-independ...

In this article, we argue that a careful examination of human microbiome science’s relationship with race and racism is necessary to foster equitable social and ecological relations in the field. We p...

An important facet of maintaining healthy symbiosis between host and intestinal microbes is the mucus layer, the first defense protecting the epithelium from lumenal bacteria. Some gut bacteria degrad...

We report that exosymbiotic microbes within larval pollen provisions are critical for the development of solitary bees, regardless of their foraging strategy. Furthermore, the particular microbial co...

Honey bee gut microbes assist in host nutrition through fermentation.

The Kūlana Noi‘i (research standards) provide guidance for building and sustaining not just working partnerships, but long-term relationships between communities and researchers.
