Stem cell systems regulate tissue development and maintenance. The germline stem cell
system is essential for animal reproduction, controlling both the timing and number of …

Caenorhabditis elegans is a model organism for the study of different molecular,
biochemical, microbial and immunity-related mechanisms. In its natural habitat, C. elegans …

The Caenorhabditis elegans natural microbiota was described only recently. Thus, our
understanding of its effects on nematode physiology is still in its infancy. We previously …

Background & Aims IgA exerts its primary function at mucosal surfaces, where it binds
microbial antigens to regulate bacterial growth and epithelial attachment. One third of …

Aflatoxins are a group of potent fungal metabolites produced by Aspergillus and commonly
contaminate groundnuts and cereal grains. Aflatoxin B 1 (AFB 1), the most potent mycotoxin …

It is well established that the multitude of microbes residing in the human intestine play a key
role for health. Recently, it has become apparent that ingested chemicals affect the …

An imbalance of the gut microbiota, termed dysbiosis, has a substantial impact on host
physiology. However, the mechanism by which host deals with gut dysbiosis to maintain …

Ageing is a multifactorial process associated with multiple mechanisms, some of which
include telomere shortening, changes in metabolism associated with disrupted …

The gut microbiome modulates many aspects of host physiology, including the ageing
process. There is a pressing need for suitable, tractable models with which to investigate …
