Gut microbe-derived short-chain fatty acids regulate joint inflammation and activation of infiltrating and resident myeloid cells after alphavirus infection

Fang R. Zhao, Maksim Kleverov, Emma S. Winkler…·Michael Diamond

This study shows that gut microbe-derived short-chain fatty acids reduce joint inflammation after alphavirus infection by modulating immune cell activity.

Persistent fatty acid catabolism during plant oil synthesis

Somnath Koley, Poonam Jyoti, Maneesh Lingwan…·Doug K. Allen

The paper shows that fatty acid synthesis and breakdown occur simultaneously during plant oil synthesis, challenging previous assumptions and explaining underperformance in engineered oil-producing plants.
