Microbial Diversity and Ecological Structure of the Gut Microbiota in Children and Adults from an Indigenous Mexican Community

This study examines gut microbiota diversity in an Indigenous Mexican community, finding age and sex-related differences and highlighting unique microbial profiles not commonly seen in Western populations.

Total immunoglobulin G variation through the phenological cycle of migrant and resident Long-nosed bats (Leptonycteris yerbabuenae) in the drylands of Mexico and its relationship with bacterial-killing ability of plasma.

This study examines total IgG variation in long-nosed bats across their life cycle and migratory range, finding stable concentrations in adults but reductions in young and non-reproductive males, with a positive link between IgG and bactericidal activity in non-reproductive females.

We think what we eat: Animal-based diet influences cerebral and microbiota networks connectivity in early ages. A study case of an indigenous community in Mexico.

The paper shows that low animal protein or lipid intake in an indigenous Mexican community reduces brain and gut-microbiota connectivity, potentially affecting cognitive resilience.
