This paper develops a hydrogel-based therapy using functionalized Bifidobacterium longum to treat colitis-associated anxiety and depression by targeting both gut and brain inflammation.

This paper introduces PRS-CSx, a method that improves polygenic prediction across ancestrally diverse populations by integrating GWAS summary statistics and sharing genetic effects.

This study investigates the role of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) in schizophrenia, showing their association with immune activation and contribution to pathophysiology in both humans and mice.

This study identifies schizophrenia genetic associations in East Asian and European populations, finding similar genetic effects across ancestries but highlighting challenges in polygenic risk prediction across groups.
