Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) can damage cerebral small vessels and cause
neurological symptoms. Here we describe structural changes in cerebral small vessels of patients …

Bacteria that colonize the human gastrointestinal tract are essential for good health. The gut
microbiota has a critical role in pulmonary immunity and host's defense against viral …

Secondary bacterial infections often complicate viral respiratory infections. We hypothesize
that perturbation of the gut microbiota during influenza A virus (IAV) infection might favor …

Inflammation is a complex physiological process triggered in response to harmful stimuli 1 .
It involves cells of the immune system capable of clearing sources of injury and damaged …

Mounting evidence suggests that the gut-to-lung axis is critical during respiratory viral
infections. We herein hypothesized that disruption of gut homeostasis during severe acute …

The current pandemic of coronavirus disease (COVID) 2019 constitutes a global public
health issue. Regarding the emerging importance of the gut-lung axis in viral respiratory …

Along with respiratory tract disease per se, viral respiratory infections can also cause
extrapulmonary complications with a potentially critical impact on health. In the present study, we …

Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are metabolites produced mainly by the gut microbiota with
a known role in immune regulation. Acetate, the major SCFA, is described to disseminate to …

Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are the main metabolites produced by the gut microbiota via
the fermentation of complex carbohydrates and fibers. Evidence suggests that SCFAs play a …

Like all obligate intracellular pathogens, influenza A virus (IAV) reprograms host cell’s
glucose and lipid metabolism to promote its own replication. However, the impact of influenza …
