This study examines how four immunosuppressants alter the gut microbiome and immune responses over time, revealing drug-specific and tissue-dependent effects on microbial composition and lymphoid architecture.

The paper compares metabolomic profiles between sarcoidosis resolvers, progressors, and healthy controls to identify distinct metabolic signatures associated with disease outcomes.

This study investigates how rapamycin modulates lymph node architecture, leukocyte trafficking, and gut microbiome over time, revealing a novel mechanism of immunosuppression.

This study introduces VIRGO2, an enhanced gene catalog for the vaginal microbiome, revealing new bacterial species, mycobiome features, and gene expression patterns.

The paper develops metagenomic community state types (mgCSTs) to describe vaginal microbiomes by integrating composition and function, identifying associations with health outcomes and functional capabilities.

The paper introduces VIRGO, a gene catalog for the vaginal microbiome, revealing high intraspecies diversity in vaginal communities.

This study characterizes the microbial community in halite endoliths, identifying a dominant archaeon with a 'salt-in' osmotic strategy and diverse viral genomes.

This study compares endolithic microbial communities in calcite and ignimbrite substrates, revealing differences in taxonomic diversity and functional adaptations to extreme aridity.
