The potential of the gut microbiome as a driver of individual cognitive differences in natural populations of animals remains unexplored. Here, using metagenomic sequencing of individual bumblebee hindguts, we find a positive correlation between the abundance of Lactobacillus Firm-5 clus...
Tumor relapse from treatment-resistant cells (minimal residual disease, MRD) underlies most breast cancer related deaths. Yet, the molecular characteristics defining their malignancy have largely remained elusive. Here we integrated multi-omics data from a tractable organoid system with a metabol...
Early-life experiences profoundly shape brain development and long-term cognition. Environmental enrichment (EE) and social isolation (SI) represent opposing forms of stimulation and deprivation, yet the metabolic mechanisms connecting these conditions to cognitive outcomes remain poorly defined....
BACKGROUND: The gut-brain axis and the intestinal microbiota are emerging as key players in health and disease. Shifts in intestinal microbiota composition affect a variety of systems, however, evidence of their direct impact on cognitive functions is still lacking. We tested whe...
