In mice, a low-protein diet leads to a gut-microbiota-driven remodelling of adipose tissue towards brown fat, showing that gut microorganisms have a role in detecting and responding to a lack of protein.

Clostridium perfringens lacking perfringolysin O toxin isolated from preterm infants metabolizes human milk oligosaccharide disialyllacto-N-tetraose to produce metabolites that promote the growth of commensal bifidobacteria, inhibit pathogens and suppress inflammation in an organoid model.

Nature Microbiology, Published online: 06 March 2026; doi:10.1038/s41564-026-02286-7Bulk polyadenylation improves the capture of microbial RNA, enabling host–microorganism interactions to be visualized at a high resolution when combined with commercially available spatial transcriptomics platforms.

Comparative analysis of DTC gut microbiome testing services reveals significant methodological variability, underscoring the need for standardized reference materials and guidelines to ensure reproducibility and reliability in commercial microbiome testing.

Prebiotic and probiotic interventions can induce therapeutically relevant shifts in the human microbiome, but their effects are variable across individuals. This study shows that metabolic models can ...

A metagenomic survey of babies attending the first year of nursery detected extensive baby-to-baby microbial strain transmission, pointing to social interactions in infancy as crucial drivers of infan...

EMBL and its community are deeply saddened by the death of Peer Bork, the organisation’s Interim Director General.

Developing effective accessible vaccines to end tuberculosis worldwide. Combining immunoengineering, molecular microbiology & systems biology at MIT.

Microbiota-dependent tryptophan-derived indole deficiency is linked to mouse fetal resorption and human recurrent miscarriage. Tryptophan-derived indoles prime MDSCs and RORγt+ Tregs to suppress IFN-γ+ or IL-17A+ T cells at the maternal-fetal interface, respectively, thereby promoting maternal-fetal immune tolerance.
