Today’s microbiome digest featuring a variety of research and review articles highlighting the role of gut microbiota-derived signals to the beta cells are necessary for proper insulin trafficking, a microfluidic chip designed by Roberta et. al. to mimic interactions between microorganisms and host tissue, the innovative role of exosomes in the pathogenesis of CRC, and a very interesting study in mice shows the host mitochondrial genotype influence the gut microbiota species diversity. Happy weekend. Enjoy reading.
