This study identifies Prevotella copri as a driver of MASLD progression by promoting hepatic steatosis and fibrosis through lipid accumulation and impaired intestinal tight junctions.

This study identifies microbial differences in SERT knockout mice that correlate with depressive behaviors and can accurately classify the phenotype.

This study investigates how an obesogenic diet and psychosocial stress during adolescence affect brain health, revealing synergistic impacts on neuroinflammation, gut microbiota, and gene methylation.

The paper develops an LC-MS/MS method to measure estrogens and metabolites in human stool and plasma, finding correlations between stool estrogen levels, menstrual cycle phase, and gut microbial enzyme gene copy numbers.

This study shows that reducing hepatic LBP in mice limits inflammation but not fibrosis in MAFLD, suggesting inflammation may not be a primary driver of fibrosis.
