IL-17RC signaling connects intestinal microbiota and neuroimmune interactions in atherosclerosis

This study shows IL-17RC signaling in the intestine prevents atherosclerosis by controlling microbiota and perivascular innervation, with loss of IL-17RC increasing inflammation and disease.

Gut microbiota of dogs with cancer receiving anti-EGFR/HER2 immunization reveals potential biomarkers of patient survival

This study identifies gut microbial taxa associated with survival in dogs receiving anti-EGFR/HER2 immunotherapy, suggesting potential prognostic biomarkers for canine cancer immunotherapy outcomes.

Transkingdom Network Analysis (TkNA): a systems approach inferring causal factors underlying host-microbiota interactions.

The paper introduces TkNA, a causal-inference framework for analyzing host-microbiota multi-omics data to identify master regulators of interactions.

Multi-omic network analysis identified betacellulin as a novel target of omega-3 fatty acid attenuation of western diet-induced nonalcoholic steatohepatitis.

The paper identifies betacellulin as a target of omega-3 fatty acids in reducing NASH by suppressing inflammation and fibrosis through mechanisms involving hepatic stellate cells and macrophages.
