The field of bile acid microbiology in the gastrointestinal tract is going through a current
rebirth after a peak of activity in the late 1970s and early 1980s. This renewed activity is a …

The last decade of microbiome research has highlighted its fundamental role in systemic
immune and metabolic homeostasis. The microbiome plays a prominent role during …

A challenging task to understand health and disease-related microbiome signatures is to
move beyond descriptive community-level profiling towards disentangling microbial …

The brain and gut are intricately connected and respond to various stimuli. Stress-induced
brain-gut communication is implicated in the pathogenesis and relapse of gut disorders. The …

Soil microbial communities impact carbon sequestration and release, biogeochemical
cycling, and agricultural yields. These global effects rely on metabolic interactions that …

Natural ecosystems harbor a huge reservoir of taxonomically diverse microbes that are
important for plant growth and health. The vast diversity of soil microorganisms and their …

Gut microbiota can evolve within their hosts on human-relevant timescales, but little is
