The paper identifies N-acyl putrescines, particularly NOP, as immunomodulatory metabolites produced by gut microbiota that suppress inflammation in IBD models.

The paper investigates the link between gut microbiota composition and item recognition in healthy humans, finding that alpha diversity and beta diversity are associated with memory performance.

BAQLaVa improves viral profiling from metagenomes and metatranscriptomes, revealing reduced virome diversity in inflammatory bowel diseases and novel phage-host relationships.

The paper shows that Gram-positive skin bacteria and Tlr2 signaling influence tail regeneration in Xenopus laevis tadpoles by promoting regenerative programs over wound healing.

This paper introduces HAllA, a method for discovering associations in multi-omic datasets, showing it outperforms existing approaches and identifies new biological relationships.

This study shows that the Xenopus laevis tadpole microbiome and lipopolysaccharide signaling influence tail regeneration outcomes, with TLR4 playing a partial role.

The paper evaluates metagenome and amplicon analysis tools by meta-analyzing benchmarking studies to identify accurate sequence-to-taxonomy mapping software.

This study identifies alternative hydrogen uptake pathways in ruminants that reduce methane production by competing with methanogens for hydrogen.
