See you next week at MVIF! Gut microbiome Gut microbial diversity and inferred capacity to produce short-chain fatty acids are associated with acute stress reactivity in healthy adults – Thomas Kar…

Emerging evidence suggests that ectopic colonization of oral bacteria in the lower digestive tract may exacerbate gastrointestinal disorders. Nevertheless, it remains unclear whether bacteria of or...

The gut microbiome plays a fundamental role in human health, prompting efforts to catalog and preserve its diversity across human populations. While DNA sequencing dominates microbiome research, cu...

Authors analyse paired viral and bacterial shotgun metagenomics data from individual honeybee guts, revealing modular, nested phage–bacteria networks, with viral diversity mirroring bacterial strain c...

One Health is a concept and framework for addressing the interconnected nature of humans, animals and their environments to improve the health and wellbeing of all three, along with added social and f...

Behind the façade of scientific objectivity, race continues to haunt modern science. Contemporary biomedical research often employs categories of human difference that have recently come under critici...

The colonic mucus layer is the primary interface between the host and the gut microbiota. It serves both as an ecological niche for bacteria and a bar…

In this study, we asked whether normalization by host reads alone was sufficient to estimate absolute bacterial biomass directly from stool metagenomic data, without the need for synthetic spike-ins, ...
