Ever since Akkermansia muciniphila was discovered and characterized two decades ago,
numerous studies have shown that the lack or decreased abundance of this commensal …

Bidirectional crosstalk along the gut-liver axis controls gastrointestinal health and disease
and exploits environmental and host mediators. Nutrients, microbial antigens, metabolites …

Multiple studies have established associations between human gut bacteria and host
physiology, but determining the molecular mechanisms underlying these associations has …

The gut microbiome is an important determinant in various diseases. Here we perform a
cross-sectional study of Japanese adults and identify the Blautia genus, especially B …

Akkermansia muciniphila is a Gram-negative anaerobic mucus-layer-degrading bacterium
