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

This study identifies intelectin-2 as an antimicrobial lectin that crosslinks mucins and kills microbes by binding glycans in mucus.

This paper introduces a Graph Convolutional Network for predicting protein function and identifying important residues, showing improved accuracy over sequence-based methods.

The paper develops MMUPHin for meta-analysis of microbial communities in IBD, identifying consistent microbial associations and showing no discrete microbiome types.
