Project description:In this study we investigated whether gut microbiota profile of Italian healthy volunteers could differ based on their geaographical origin. To this purpose, fecal samples were collected from 31 healthy individuals living in 3 different italian regions (Lombardy, North; Lazio, Center; Apulia, South) and their respective microbiota profiles were analyzed employing 16S metagenomic sequencing method. This study identifies differences in the gut microbiota content and richness among individuals with the same ethnicity coming from three different Italian regions.
Project description:Metaproteomic portrait of the healthy human gut microbiota. Re-analysis of existing datasets, selected based on the following inclusion criteria: human cohort including at least 5 healthy (clearly not labeled as diseased) adult (>18 years old) individuals; data derived from LC-MS/MS DDA label-free analysis of fecal samples (with neither subcellular fractionation of microbial cells nor offline fractionation of peptides); availability of raw MS data on public repositories.
Project description:This study aims to understand the systemic component of psoriasis pathogenesis since psoriasis patients have higher risk of developing diesases beyond skin inflammation. In this study, we collected sigmoidal gut biopsies to profile host transcriptomic changes associated with psoriasis patients and healthy subjects. This exepriment provided transcriptomic dataset of host response and is integrated with fecal metagenomic data and flow cytometry dataset as part of the multi-omic study.
Project description:To compare the similarities and differences in species diversity of the gut microbiota between the patients with melasma and healthy subjects. The feces were collected for 16S rRNA sequencing analysis of the gut microbiota.
