This study identifies MLL1 as a regulator of IgA responses to gut infections, showing its role in promoting IgA+ plasma cells and worm clearance in mice.

This study identifies the group B [FeFe]-hydrogenase as the primary enzyme driving fermentative H2 production in the human gut, linking it to gut health and disease.

The paper shows active conjugation triggers host transcriptional changes, which are blocked by capsule expression but overcome by plasmid-driven single-cell variation.
