The human body hosts vast microbial communities, termed the microbiome. Less well
known is the fact that the human body also hosts vast numbers of different viruses …

Associations between age and the human microbiota are robust and reproducible. The
microbial composition at several body sites can predict human chronological age relatively …

Enteric viruses, particularly rotaviruses and noroviruses, are a leading cause of
gastroenteritis worldwide. Rotaviruses primarily affect young children, accounting for almost …

The gut of healthy human neonates is usually devoid of viruses at birth, but quickly becomes
colonized, which—in some cases—leads to gastrointestinal disorders,,–. Here we show that …

Stress proteins (SPs) including heat-shock proteins (HSPs), RNA chaperones, and ER
associated stress proteins are molecular chaperones essential for cellular homeostasis. The …

The diverse enteric viral communities that infect microbes and the animal host collectively
constitute the gut virome. Although recent advances in sequencing and analysis of …

The human gut virome is comprised of diverse commensal and pathogenic viruses. The
colonization by these viruses begins right after birth through vaginal delivery, then continues …

In recent years, increasing attention has been devoted to the concept that microorganisms
play an integral role in human physiology and pathophysiology. Despite this, the molecular …

Since the discovery of norovirus in 1972 as a cause of what was contemporarily known as
acute infectious non-bacterial gastroenteritis, scientific understanding of the viral …

Human astroviruses (HAstVs) have frequently been detected in individuals with acute
gastroenteritis (AGE). However, a precise estimate of the overall prevalence of the virus in …
