Associations between infant gut microbiota and the living environment

This study examines how the home environment affects infant gut microbiota development in 893 children, finding minimal overall associations but significant effects of air quality and proximity to agriculture.

Infant gut microbiota in multi-child families converges with adults without a sibling-specific signature

The paper analyzes infant gut microbiota in multi-child families and finds that sibling presence accelerates microbiota maturation but does not create a sibling-specific signature.

The Aggregated Gut Viral Catalogue (AVrC): A Unified Resource for Exploring the Viral Diversity of the Human Gut

The paper aggregates nine existing human gut viral catalogues and expands them with new data to create AVrC, a unified resource containing over a million viral sequences.

The intestinal microbiota contributes to the development of immune-mediated cardiovascular inflammation and vasculitis in mice.

This study shows that gut microbiota depletion reduces cardiovascular inflammation in a mouse model of Kawasaki disease, and specific bacteria or their metabolites can alleviate vasculitis by improving gut barrier function.

Gut-derived bacterial flagellin induces beta-cell inflammation and dysfunction

This study shows that gut-derived bacterial flagellin contributes to beta-cell inflammation and dysfunction in type 2 diabetes.
