Nutrient competition predicts gut microbiome restructuring under drug perturbations

Handuo Shi, Daniel Newton, Taylor H. Nguyen, Sylvie Estrela, Juan Manuel Sánchez, Michael Tu, Po-Yi Ho, Qinglin Zeng, Brian C. DeFelice, Justin Laine Sonnenburg, Kerwyn Casey Huang

The paper shows that nutrient competition drives changes in gut microbiome composition under drug perturbations, with implications for predicting and mitigating drug side effects.

An EcR probe reveals mechanisms of the ecdysone-mediated switch from repression-to-activation on target genes in the larval wing disc

Joanna Wardwell‐Ozgo, Douglas Terry, Colby K. Schweibenz, Michael Tu, Ola Solimon, David Schofeld, Kenneth H. Moberg

The paper uses an EcR-binding fragment to study how ecdysone (20E) switches EcR from repression to activation in larval wing discs, revealing spatial and target-specific regulation.
