Colonization of the gut microbiota with Akkermansia muciniphila ameliorates dysbiosis-mediated transplant arterial injury in female mice

This study shows that Akkermansia muciniphila reduces transplant arterial injury in mice by modulating immune responses and short-chain fatty acid levels.

Rapid early life colonization of the intestinal tract by Akkermansia muciniphila after voluntary feeding

This study develops a voluntary feeding protocol to non-invasively colonize mice with A. muciniphila and shows rapid and stable colonization in both healthy and dysbiotic gut microbiota.

Epigenetic phase variation in the gut microbiome enhances bacterial adaptation

This study identifies epigenetic phase variation in the gut microbiome, showing it enhances bacterial adaptation through gene regulation and bet-hedging strategies.

The role of Akkermansia muciniphila sulfatases in colonic mucinutilisation

This study investigates the role of Akkermansia muciniphila sulfatases in colonic mucin utilization, revealing unique adaptations compared to Bacteroides species.
