Probiotics and MicroRNA: Their Roles in the Host–Microbe Interactions

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Probiotics are widely accepted to be beneficial for the maintenance of the gut homeostasis – the dynamic and healthy interactions between host and gut microorganisms.

Zebrafish: an underutilized tool for discovery in host-microbe interactions.

Trends in immunology, 2022
Zebrafish are relatively new to the field of host-pathogen interactions, although they have been a valuable vertebrate model for decades in developmental biology and neuroscience.

Host-microbe interactions: shaping the evolution of the plant immune response.

Cell, 2006
The evolution of the plant immune response has culminated in a highly effective defense system that is able to resist potential attack by microbial pathogens.

Bacterial type VII secretion: An important player in host‐microbe and microbe‐microbe interactions

Molecular Microbiology, 2021
Type VII secretion systems (T7SSs) are poorly understood protein export apparatuses found in mycobacteria and many species of Gram‐positive bacteria. To date, this pathway has predominantly been studied in Mycobacterium tuberculosis, where it has been ...

Characterization of an engineered mucus microenvironment for in vitro modeling of host–microbe interactions

Scientific Reports, 2022
The human mucus layer plays a vital role in maintaining health by providing a physical barrier to pathogens. This biological hydrogel also provides the microenvironment for commensal bacteria. Common models used to study host–microbe interactions include

Multiscale analysis reveals that diet-dependent midgut plasticity emerges from alterations in both stem cell niche coupling and enterocyte size

eLife, 2021
The gut is the primary interface between an animal and food, but how it adapts to qualitative dietary variation is poorly defined. We find that the Drosophila midgut plastically resizes following changes in dietary composition.

Mucosal host-microbe interactions associate with clinical phenotypes in inflammatory bowel disease. [PDF]

Nat Commun
Disrupted host-microbe interactions at the mucosal level are key to the pathophysiology of IBD. This study aimed to comprehensively examine crosstalk between mucosal gene expression and microbiota in patients with IBD.

Anaerobic 4-hydroxyproline utilization: Discovery of a new glycyl radical enzyme in the human gut microbiome uncovers a widespread microbial metabolic activity. [PDF]

, 2018
The discovery of enzymes responsible for previously unappreciated microbial metabolic pathways furthers our understanding of host-microbe and microbe-microbe interactions. We recently identified and characterized a new gut microbial glycyl radical enzyme

Parkinson’s Disease Medication Alters Small Intestinal Motility and Microbiota Composition in Healthy Rats

mSystems, 2022
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is known to be associated with altered gastrointestinal function and microbiota composition. To date, the effect of PD medication on the gastrointestinal function and microbiota, at the site of drug absorption, the small ...

Temperature effects on cellular host-microbe interactions explain continent-wide endosymbiont prevalence.

Current Biology, 2021
Endosymbioses influence host physiology, reproduction, and fitness, but these relationships require efficient microbe transmission between host generations to persist.
