This study reveals synchronized temporal dynamics in the mouse gut microbiome using high-resolution sampling and analysis methods, showing phase-coherent groups linked to host circadian cycles.

The paper uses salivary microbiome profiles to stratify REM sleep behavior disorder and synucleinopathies, finding distinct microbial signatures that distinguish these conditions.

This study identifies maternal progesterone signaling through mPRδ as critical for establishing lifelong oral homeostasis via a hormone-lipid-microbiome axis.

This paper introduces a non-black-box method to classify ecological time series pairs in mouse gut microbiota, revealing significant correlations despite many zeros and non-stationarity.
