Previous studies suggest that gut microbiome disruption induced by chemotherapy, dietary deficiencies, and/or antibiotics are associated with increased incidence of acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). In a murine model antibiotic-induced disruption, Holmes and colleagues show oral administration galactooligosaccharides (GOS) as prebiotic attenuates lethal aGVHD, highlighting the crosstalk between diet microbiota. Their data...
Abstract In many tissues, the presence of stem cells is inferred by capacity tissue to maintain homeostasis and undergo repair after injury. Isolation self-renewing with ability generate full array within a given strongly supports this idea, but identification genetic manipulation individual their niche remain challenge. Here we present novel methods for marking genetically altering epithelial follicle (FSCs) Drosophila ovary. Using these new tools, define sequential multistep process that...
Fructans are commonly used as dietary fibre supplements for their ability to promote the growth of beneficial gut microbes. However, fructan consumption has been associated with various dosage-dependent side effects. We characterised effects in an exploratory analysis a randomised trial healthy adults (
Genome-scale metabolic network reconstructions (GENREs) are valuable tools for understanding microbial metabolism. The process of automatically generating GENREs includes identifying reactions supported by sufficient genomic evidence to generate a draft network. GENRE is then gapfilled with additional in order recapitulate specific growth phenotypes as indicated associated experimental data. Previous methods have implemented absolute mapping thresholds the included GENREs; however, there...
Tinnitus is a symptom often associated with hearing loss (HL) and in many cases more burdening to the individual than HL itself. Many approaches have been made explain development chronification of phantom percept as well different treatment strategies lower tinnitus related burden. In studies, variance data high therefore interpretation specific might be difficult. With this retrospective study, we attempt part by investigating specifically effects non-auditory comorbidity categories on...

Abstract Members of the Lactobacillus genus are frequently utilized in probiotic industry with many species conferring demonstrated health benefits; however, these effects largely strain-dependent. We designed a method called PROTEAN (Probabilistic Reconstruction Of constituent Anabolic Networks) to computationally analyze genomic annotations and predicted metabolic production capabilities 144 strains across 16 isolated from human intestinal, oral, vaginal body sites. Using we conducted...
Abstract Genome-scale metabolic network reconstructions (GENREs) are valuable tools for understanding microbial community metabolism. The process of automatically generating GENREs includes identifying reactions supported by sufficient genomic evidence to generate a draft network. GENRE is then gapfilled with additional in order recapitulate specific growth phenotypes as indicated associated experimental data.
