The communities of marine bacteria that assemble around living microphytoplankton are predictably dominated by three taxonomic groups, each of which specializes in the use or transport of different components of the available metabolite pool: Rhodobacterales transport small and polar metabolites,...

Children born to women with HIV (WWH) suffer increased morbidity and, in low-income settings, have two to three times the mortality of infants born to women without HIV. The basis for this increase remains elusive. In low-income settings, breastfeeding is recommended because health benefits outwe...

Coffee influences multiple physiological processes, including gut function, stress, cognition, and the microbiome. However, the mechanisms underlying these effects remain poorly understood. In this study, we examined coffee’s impact on the microbiota–gut–brain axis—a bidirectional communication p...

Garrod’s concept of “chemical individuality” has contributed to comprehension of the molecular origins of human diseases. Untargeted high-throughput metabolomic technologies provide an in-depth snapshot of human metabolism at scale. We studied the genetic architecture of the human plasma metabolo...
