Neutrophil Extracellular Trap Formation and Complement Activation Pathways Dominate Microbiota-dependent disease bias in lupus-prone female NZM2328 mice

Soumyabrata Roy, Jaisheela Vimali Irudhayaraj, Rekha Jalandra…·Chenthamarakshan Vasu

This study shows that gut microbiota influences lupus-like disease outcomes differently in male and female NZM2328 mice, with females showing higher NET and complement pathway activation leading to disease susceptibility.

Gut colonization by Bacteroides fragilis at juvenile age alters microbiota composition and accelerates type 1 diabetes progression in non-obese diabetic mice

Radhika R. Gudi, Harrison B. Taylor, Benjamin M. Johnson…·Chenthamarakshan Vasu

This study shows that early-life colonization by Bacteroides fragilis in NOD mice accelerates type 1 diabetes progression by altering microbiota composition and immune responses.
