Investigating the Rescue Potential of Fecal Microbiota Transplants in Anorexia Nervosa using Antibiotic-treated Mice in a Split Group Cross-Over Study

This study examines the effects of fecal microbiota transplants from anorexia nervosa patients on mice, showing altered food intake and appetite hormones, which may be improved with transplants from healthy donors.

Dietary non-starch polysaccharides impair immunity to enteric nematode infection

This study shows that high levels of non-starch polysaccharides in diet impair type-2 immunity and increase susceptibility to enteric helminth infections in mice.

Fecal virome transfer improves proliferation of commensal gut Akkermansia muciniphila and unexpectedly enhances the fertility rate in laboratory mice

This study shows that fecal virome transplantation increases Akkermansia muciniphila abundance in mice and unexpectedly raises fertility rates in co-housed pairs.

Faecal virome transplantation decrease symptoms of type-2-diabetes and obesity in a murine model

This study shows that faecal virome transplantation from lean donors reduces weight gain and improves glucose tolerance in obese mice, suggesting a role for gut viruses in metabolic health.
