This study shows Giardia reduces the beneficial effects of Lactobacillus in malnourished mice, altering microbial balance and increasing intestinal damage.

This study shows that dietary methionine restriction worsens cancer growth and reduces anti-tumor immunity via gut microbiota and immune suppression in immunocompetent mice.

This study compares the robustness of microbiota association inference using stool, swab, and mucosal tissue samples in a larger cohort, finding that mucosal samples yield less consistent results than stool or swab.

This study meta-analyzes seven studies to show that exclusive breastfeeding increases gut microbiota diversity and specific metabolic pathways while reducing others, with benefits persisting beyond six months.
