While bidirectional brain–gut interactions are well known mechanisms for the regulation of gut function in both healthy and diseased states, a role of the enteric flora—including both ...

Caption This picture illustrates an example of gut microbiota composition dictating how resident lung alveolar macrophages (AM) respond to viral infection. The presence of segmented filamentous ...

"Rather, we hypothesize that gut microbiota composition broadly influences proneness to respiratory virus infection. Microbiota mediated programming of basally resident alveolar macrophages may ...

He has previously found that microplastics are also impacting macrophages—the immune ... to understand why there is a change in the gut microbiota. "Multiple groups have shown microplastics ...

A pioneering study has uncovered the vital role that gut microbiota plays in regulating stress responses by interacting with the body's circadian rhythms. The findings open the door for developing ...
