Gut microbiome

Early-life colonization by aromatic-lactate-producing bifidobacteria lowers the risk of allergic sensitization – Pernille Neve Myers – Nature Microbiology 

Improving operative outcomes in patients with stomas – Stella M. Dilke – medRxiv

🎉🎉🎉 New preprint to start the new year 🎉🎉🎉Patients recovering from bowel surgery may have stomas formed to divert the flow of faeces to the opening on the skin, away from healing intestinal tissue. The visible sign of this process is an ileostomy or colostomy bag. /1#surgerysky #medsky

Gut microbiota induces mammary gland sIgA production to alleviate S. aureus mastitis – Zhaoqi He – Cell Reports

Microbial signature of pediatric Crohn’s disease: Differentiation from functional gastrointestinal disorders and relationship with increased disease activity – Jeremiah Levine – Physiological Reports

Gut micro-organisms associated with health, nutrition and dietary interventions – Francesco Asnicar – Nature

I'm very happy to share our latest manuscript published today in @nature.com !! ➡️ doi.org/10.1038/s415…We analyzed data from over 34,000 participants in the US and UK, revealing strong associations between specific gut bacteria and markers of cardiometabolic health and dietary habits.

Oral microbiome

Are you involved in oral microbiome research? 🧬We’re conducting a brief survey to understand how researchers report metadata for their oral microbiome studies. You must be 18 or older. To be eligible, you must have conducted research on the oral microbiome (past or currently).

Animal microbiome

Impact of sequencing approach on ecological inference from highly variable bat gut microbiomes – Ostaizka Aizpurua – bioRxiv

Animal experiments

Primate gut microbiota induce evolutionarily salient changes in mouse neurodevelopment – Alex R. DeCasien – PNAS

The maternal microbiome influence on pregnancy success: breeding comparison of germ-free and conventionalized mice – Chudan Xu – Gut Microbes

Our first paper of 2026 is outWhen we began this project, this was not the paper we set out to publishBut science has a way of redirecting us toward the questions we should be asking#Microbiome researchers-this one’s for youwww.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10….🧵

Plant, soil, root microbiome

Bark microbiota modulate climate-active gas fluxes in Australian forests – Pok Man Leung – Science 

In this week’s @science.org cover article, we discover tree bark is a hidden habitat for abundant, diverse, and specialized microbial life that actively regulate our climate 🦠. Bark isn't just an inert armor of tree but an active interface for climate and biodiversitywww.science.org/eprint/7H9PX…
