The diverse bacterial populations that comprise the commensal microbiome of the human
intestine play a central role in health and disease. A method that sustains complex microbial …

Our bodies are inhabited by trillions of microorganisms. The host immune system constantly
interacts with the microbiota in barrier organs, including the intestines. Over decades, …

microRNAs (miRNAs) are ~21 nt transcripts capable of regulating the expression of many
mRNAs and are abundant in the brain. miRNAs have a role in several complex diseases …

The gut microbiota is a crucial regulator of anti-tumour immunity during immune checkpoint
inhibitor therapy. Several bacteria that promote an anti-tumour response to immune …

Human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT; the catalytic protein subunit of telomerase)
is subjected to numerous alternative splicing events, but the regulation and function of …

Although social interactions are known to drive pathogen transmission, the contributions of
socially transmissible host-associated mutualists and commensals to host health and disease …

The human gut microbiome constantly converts natural products derived from the host and
diet into numerous bioactive metabolites 1 , 2 – 3 . Dietary fats are essential micronutrients …

The mammalian immune system is tolerized to trillions of microbes residing on bodily
surfaces and can discriminate between symbionts and pathogens despite their having related …

Telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein complex that adds telomeric DNA to the ends of linear
chromosomes. It contains two core canonical components: the essential RNA component, hTR, …

Telomerase canonically maintains telomeres, but recent reports have suggested that the core
protein mammalian telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) component, together with the …
