Changes in the composition of the gut microbiota are associated with many human
diseases. So far, however, we have failed to define homeostasis or dysbiosis by the …

BACKGROUND Historical accounts linking cancer and microbes date as early as four
millennia ago. After establishment of the germ theory of infectious diseases, clinical research …

The gut microbiota influences development,–and homeostasis,,–of the mammalian immune
system, and is associated with human inflammatory and immune diseases, as well as …

Plant microbiomes are essential to host health and productivity but the ecological processes
that govern crop microbiome assembly are not fully known. Here we examined bacterial …

Virtually all plants and animals, including humans, are home to symbiotic microorganisms.
Symbiotic interactions can be neutral, harmful or have beneficial effects on the host …

Plants are subjected to diverse biotic and abiotic stresses in life. These can induce changes
in transcriptomics and metabolomics, resulting in changes to root and leaf exudates and, in …

Background The rhizosphere microbiome, which is shaped by host genotypes, root
exudates, and plant domestication, is crucial for sustaining agricultural plant growth. Despite …

Background Plants live with diverse microbial communities which profoundly affect multiple
facets of host performance, but if and how host development impacts the assembly, functions …

The development of next-generation sequencing technology has enabled researchers to
explore and understand the gut microbiome from a broader and deeper perspective …

The human gut microbiome is a complex ecosystem, densely colonised by thousands of
microbial species. It varies among individuals and depends on host genotype and …
