Immune cells (magenta) and cells expressing a reporter of immune stimulation (cyan), imaged in 3D in a live zebrafish larva. The cells are dynamic, and in our experiments we found that their ...

After a meal of questionable seafood or a few sips of contaminated water, bad bacteria can send your digestive tract into overdrive. Your intestines spasm and contract, efficiently expelling ...

The mammalian digestive tract harbors a vast microbial community that has the potential to modulate numerous health-related processes. Multicompartment dynamic gut models have been developed to study ...

Microbially derived short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) in the human gut are tightly coupled to host metabolism, immune regulation and integrity of the intestinal epithelium. However, the production of ...
