Identification and characterization of a skin microbiome on Caenorhabditis elegans suggests environmental microbes confer cuticle protection

The paper identifies and characterizes a skin microbiome on C. elegans, showing that environmental microbes protect the cuticle in harsh conditions.

Intestinal Serum Amyloid A suppresses systemic neutrophil activation and bactericidal activity in response to microbiota colonization

This study identifies Serum Amyloid A (Saa) as a mediator of intestinal microbiota regulation of neutrophil function, showing it suppresses inflammation and bacterial killing while enhancing wound migration.
