A coexisting fungal-bacterial community stabilizes soil decomposition activity in a microcosm experiment. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 How diversity influences the stability of a community function is a major question in ecology. However, only limited empirical investigations of the diversity-stability relationship in soil microbial communities have been undertaken, despite the ...

Microbial Communities as Experimental Units [PDF]
BioScience, 2011 Artificial ecosystem selection is an experimental technique that treats microbial communities as though they were discrete units by applying selection on community-level properties. Highly diverse microbial communities associated with humans and other organisms can have significant impacts on the health of the host. It is difficult to find correlations

Advanced Materials Technologies, Volume 10, Issue 6, March 18, 2025.This review focuses on the application of synthetic biodegradable microarray patches (MAPs) in sustained drug delivery. Compared to conventional MAPs which release drugs into the skin in an immediate manner, these implantable MAPs release drugs into skin microcirculation gradually as the biodegradable polymers degrade, thus offering sustained release ...

Gastric microbial community profiling reveals a dysbiotic cancer-associated microbiota
Gut, 2017 Objective Gastric carcinoma development is triggered by Helicobacter pylori. Chronic H. pylori infection leads to reduced acid secretion, which may allow the growth of a different gastric bacterial community.
