Depletion of gut commensal bacteria significantly reduced nicotinic acid (NA) levels in the hemolymph and ovaries of Bactrocera dorsalis, leading to impaired ovarian development. This inhibition was reversed by exogenous NA supplementation. We identified Enterobacter hormaechei as a key NA-produc...
Regional structure of the intestinal epithelium is critical for its function and is associated with the risk of specific gut diseases. However, how regionalization is established and how it influences disease susceptibility remains poorly understood. Here, we investigated the role of the gut micr...
