The colonic epithelium is a key interface between the gut microbiota and the host. How microbiota-derived signals influence epithelial cell identity and function remains incompletely understood. He...

Two tomato recalls have been issued due to potential salmonella contamination.

In addition to individual genetics, environmental factors (e.g., dietary changes) may influence host susceptibility to gastrointestinal infection through unknown mechanisms. Herein, we developed a mod...

A widely recognized benefit of gut microbiota is that it provides colonization resistance against enteric pathogens. The gut microbiota and their prod…

There were approximately 10,800 retail units of the affected eggs sold at 25 Costco stores in five states beginning on Nov. 22.

Cucumbers shipped to the U.S. and Canada, and organic eggs sold in 25 Costco stores in five southern U.S. states, were recalled this week for potential salmonella contamination.

This paper is a call to action. By publishing concurrently across journals like an emergency bulletin, we are not merely making a plea for awareness about climate change. Instead, we are demanding imm...
