Unveiling microbial guilds and symbiotic relationships in Antarctic sponge microbiomes
Scientific ReportsAbstractMarine sponges host diverse microbial communities. Although we know many of its ecological patterns, a deeper understanding of the polar sponge holobiont is still needed. We combine high-throughput sequencing of ribosomal genes, including the largest taxonomic repertoire of Antarctic sponge species analyzed to date, functional metagenomics, and

Obesity Impairs Skin Barrier Function and Facilitates Allergic Sensitization in Mice
Allergy, Volume 81, Issue 2, Page 498-512, February 2026.Diet‐induced obesity increases transepidermal water loss and compromises barrier function through downregulation of tight junctions and desmosomes. During obesity, MC903 elicits a mixed Th1/2/17 immune response in the skin leading to aggravated ear swelling.
