Have a nice weekend! In this Digest, we have a set of reviews about the gut-brain axis, covering associations between microbiota and neurological diseases, as well as a set of reviews about the connection between the microbiome and the immune system. We have also a paper about the microbiome from people living in high-altitude environments, and of course, several papers more.
