This study shows that targeting the microbiota enzymes that are involved in the production of trimethylamine (TMA) reduces the levels of TMAN-oxide (TMAO) and is a potential therapeutic strategy for cardiovascular disease.
Two recent studies have shown that someNitrospiraspecies can oxidize ammonia to nitrite and nitrite to nitrate, demonstrating that the two steps of nitrification can be carried out by single microorganisms.
Two new studies show that Hsp70 inhibitors are promising candidates as antivirals against flaviviruses, including dengue virus (DENV), and Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV).
This study investigates the links between diet, the gut microbiota and postprandial glycaemic responses (PPGRs), showing that differences in the gut microbiota are associated with the high interpersonal variability in the PPGRs to identical meals.
This study identifies two new polyketide metabolites ofClostridium puniceumthat enable this crop pathogen to thrive in its unusual aerobic niche while inhibiting the growth of other bacteria.
This study shows that processing of merozoite surface protein 1 (MSP1) by thePlasmodiumsubtilisin-like serine protease SUB1 enables MSP1 to interact with the host cell cytoskeleton, enabling parasite egress from red blood cells.
