Alterations in the gut microbiome, including diet-driven changes, are linked to the rising
prevalence of food allergy. However, little is known about how specific gut bacteria trigger …

Intestinal adaptive immune responses influence host health, yet only a few intestinal
bacteria species that induce cognate adaptive immune responses during homeostasis have …

Environmentally induced alterations in the commensal microbiota have been implicated in
the increasing prevalence of food allergy. We show here that sensitization to a food allergen …

The impacts of individual commensal microbes on immunity and disease can differ
dramatically depending on the surrounding microbial context; however, the specific bacterial …

Epithelial cells of the mammalian intestine are covered with a mucus layer that prevents
direct contact with intestinal microbes but also constitutes a substrate for mucus-degrading …

Food allergy is a common disease affecting approximately 8% of children and 5% of adults.
The prevalence has increased over the last two decades, suggesting an important …

(1) Background: The use of antibiotics affects the composition of gut microbiota. Studies
have suggested that the colonization of gut microbiota in early life is related to later food …

Cross-talk between the gut microbiota and the host immune system regulates host
metabolism, and its dysregulation can cause metabolic disease. Here, we show that the gut …

Obesity and type 2 diabetes are characterized by altered gut microbiota, inflammation, and
gut barrier disruption. Microbial composition and the mechanisms of interaction with the host …

Objective Intestinal microbiota is implicated in the pathogenesis of autoimmune type 1
diabetes in humans and in non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice, but evidence on its causality …
