In a striking display of trans-kingdom symbiosis, gut bacteria cooperate with their animal
hosts to regulate the development and function of the immune, metabolic and nervous�…

Animals share an intimate and life-long partnership with a myriad of resident microbial
species, collectively referred to as the microbiota. Symbiotic microbes have been shown to�…

The diverse collection of microorganisms that inhabit the gastrointestinal tract, collectively
called the gut microbiota, profoundly influences many aspects of host physiology, including�…

Mounting evidence suggests that the gut microbiome impacts brain development and
function. Gut–brain connections may be mediated by an assortment of microbial molecules�…

The intestinal microbiota consists of a vast bacterial community that resides primarily in the
lower gut and lives in a symbiotic relationship with the host. A bidirectional neurohumoral�…

The human gastrointestinal (gut) microbiota comprises diverse and dynamic populations of
bacteria, archaea, viruses, fungi, and protozoa, coexisting in a mutualistic relationship with�…

There is growing appreciation of key roles of the gut microbiota in maintaining homeostasis
and influencing brain and behaviour at critical windows across the lifespan. Mounting�…

Recent years have witnessed the rise of the gut microbiota as a major topic of research
interest in biology. Studies are revealing how variations and changes in the composition of�…

Gut microbiota regulates intestinal and extraintestinal homeostasis. Accumulating evidence
suggests that the gut microbiota may also regulate brain function and behavior. Results from�…

The last decade has witnessed a growing appreciation of the fundamental role played by an
early assembly of a diverse and balanced gut microbiota and its subsequent maintenance�…
