This study transplants gut microbiota from Indigenous Yanomami and urban donors into mice to show Yanomami microbiota protects against diet-induced metabolic dysfunction.

The paper compares gut microbiomes of Yanomami populations with varying urban influence and a Belgian urban cohort, finding urban-associated features and shifts in microbial composition and function.

The paper performs phylogenetic analysis of unidentified Malassezia fungi on skin to explore uncharacterized fungal diversity and its potential role in health and disease.
