Per- and polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) – the so-called ‘forever chemicals’ – are a major cause of environmental and health concern due to their toxicity and long-term persistence. Yet, no efficient mechanisms for their removal have been identified. Here we report the potential of microbial st...
The environmental contamination by manufactured chemicals has by some estimates exceeded the safe planetary boundary. Due to the widespread contamination of water and agricultural systems, a vast number of chemical pollutants make it into the food and hence into the human body. The gut microbiota...
Gut commensal bacteria promote host reproduction by modulating metabolism and nutrition, but the molecular mechanisms by which microbes regulate reproduction remain unclear. Here, we show that gut commensal bacteria promote host reproduction by providing amino-acid methionine, which controls the ...
