Upside-Down but Headed in the Right Direction: Review of the Highly Versatile Cassiopea xamachana System [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The upside-down jellyfish Cassiopea xamachana (Scyphozoa: Rhizostomeae) has been predominantly studied to understand its interaction with the endosymbiotic dinoflagellate algae Symbiodinium. As an easily culturable and tractable cnidarian model, it is an

HIV-associated gut dysbiosis is independent of sexual practice and correlates with noncommunicable diseases

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
The role of sexual practice in HIV-associated gut microbiota remains poorly understood. Here, in a cohort of chronically treated HIV-infected people, the authors show microbiome signatures to be independent of sex and sexual practice and that the extent ...

Oncobiomics: Leveraging Microbiome Translational Research in Immuno-Oncology for Clinical-Practice Changes

open access: yesBiomolecules
Growing evidence suggests that cancer should not be viewed solely as a genetic disease but also as the result of functional defects in the metaorganism, including disturbances in the gut microbiota (i.e., gut dysbiosis).

Single-Cell Profiling Defines Transcriptomic Signatures Specific to Tumor-Reactive versus Virus-Responsive CD4+ T Cells

open access: yesCell Reports, 2019
Summary: Most current tumor immunotherapy strategies leverage cytotoxic CD8+ T cells. Despite evidence for clinical potential of CD4+ tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), their functional diversity limits our ability to harness their activity. Here, we

Metabolites: a converging node of host and microbe to explain meta-organism

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology
Meta-organisms encompassing the host and resident microbiota play a significant role in combatting diseases and responding to stress. Hence, there is growing traction to build a knowledge base about this ecosystem, particularly to characterize the ...

Die Rolle von Quorum sensing und Quorum quenching im Metaorganismus Hydra [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Every metaorganism consisting of a host and its associated microbes needs to maintain its homeostasis. Bacteria are controlling their behavior by their communication system, called quorum sensing (QS).

Metaorganism Metabolomics: Hydra as a tool for understanding the role of bacterial metabolites in shaping the metabolic landscape of the host [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
With increased focus on host-microbe dynamics over the past decade, evidence that resident microbes affect host behaviour has mounted. Bacteria may be responsible for some of these effects as they produce a number of neuroactive compounds that could ...

Microbial ecology in Hydra: why viruses matter. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
While largely studied because of their harmful effects on human health, there is growing appreciation that viruses are also important members of the animal holobiont.

Biogeographic patterns reveal the extensive adaptation of forest soil myxobacteria along environmental gradients

open access: yesEcological Indicators
Microbial responses to environmental gradients are often evaluated at community level, where bacterial communities are treated as a metaorganism. Considering that tolerance to physicochemical factors is an attribute of microbial lineages and functional ...
