Medication Use is Associated with Distinct Microbial Features in Anxiety and Depression

A. H. Dilmore, R. Kuplicki, D. McDonald, M. Kumar, M. Estaki, N. D. Youngblut, A. Tyakht, G. Ackermann, C. Blach, S. MahmoudianDehkordi, B. Dunlop, S. Bhattacharyya, S. Guinjoan, P. Mandaviya, R. Ley, , Alzheimer Gut Microbiome Project Consortium

This study links medication use to distinct gut microbial features in anxiety and depression, showing antidepressants have a larger effect on microbiota than diagnoses.

A Mediterranean-like fat blend protects against the development of severe colitis in the mucin-2 deficient murine model

N. Haskey, J. Ye, M. Estaki, A. Verdugo-Meza, J. A. Barnett, M. Yousefi, B. Birnie, S. Gruenheid, S. Ghosh, D. L. Gibson

The study compares the effects of a Mediterranean-like fat blend to other diets in Muc2-/- mice, finding it reduces colitis severity and promotes beneficial gut microbes.

A comparison of DNA/RNA extraction protocols for high-throughput sequencing of microbial communities

J. P. Shaffer, C. Marotz, P. Belda-Ferre, C. Martino, S. Wandro, M. Estaki, R. A. Salido, C. S. Carpenter, L. S. Zaramela, J. J. Minich, M. B. Bryant, K. Sanders, S. Fraraccio, G. Ackermann, G. Humphrey, , R. Knight

The paper compares DNA/RNA extraction protocols for microbial community sequencing, finding one protocol equivalent or better than a standard DNA-only method for RNA-based organisms.

Physical activity shapes the intestinal microbiome and immunity of healthy mice but has no protective effects against colitis in MUC2-/- mice

M. Estaki, D. W. Morck, C. Quin, J. Pither, J. A. Barnett, S. K. Gill, D. L. Gibson

This study shows physical activity improves gut microbiome and immunity in healthy mice but not in MUC2-/- mice with defective intestinal mucosa.
