This study shows that short-term dietary changes rapidly alter gut microbial communities and immune responses, but some immune and metabolic traits remain influenced by long-term diet.

This study identifies a genetic locus affecting insulin sensitivity in mice, showing that Defa26 modulates glucose homeostasis through microbiome interactions.

This study uses genome-scale metabolic models to design microbial communities that enhance butyrate production through DRC supplementation, showing improved resilience and intervention effectiveness.
