In today’s microbiome digest various interesting aspects of microbiome research has been covered such as 1) a summary report by Marc G. Chevrette on one of my favorite research of the decade – “A metagenomic strategy for harnessing the chemical repertoire of the human microbiome”, 2) Oral administration of hydrogels promoted intestinal barrier function, suppressed the pro-inflammatory mRNA expression, 3) Association of low fiber intake in chronic heart failure, and several other interesting articles! Enjoy reading! Happy Weekend!
