Host recovery after skin barrier disruption is individual-specific and associated with microbial functions

The paper investigates how individual-specific microbial functions and host-microbe interactions influence skin recovery after barrier disruption in a human cohort.

GuFi phages represent the most prevalent viral family-level clusters in the human gut microbiome

The paper identifies GuFi phages as prevalent gut viral families using long-read sequencing and shows their broad host ranges and underappreciated impact on the microbiome.

Large-scale skin metagenomics reveals extensive prevalence, coordination, and functional adaptation of skin microbiome dermotypes across body sites

The paper identifies prevalent skin microbiome configurations (dermotypes) across body sites and links them to host factors and disease risk.

Gut metagenomes of Asian octogenarians reveal metabolic potential expansion and distinct microbial species associated with aging phenotypes

The paper analyzes gut metagenomes of Asian octogenarians to identify age-related microbial shifts and their associations with aging phenotypes.

ROS-induced translational regulation--through spatiotemporal differences in codon recognition--is a key driver of brown adipogenesis

The paper shows that ROS-induced translational bias during brown adipogenesis supports mitochondrial biogenesis by preferentially translating G/C-ending codons through tRNA modification.
