Progressive decline in lung function is a hallmark of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Although airway dysbiosis occurs in COPD, whether it contributes to disease progression remains unknown. Here, through a longitudinal analysis on 181 COPD individuals from two large cohorts involvi...

Progressive lung function decline is a hallmark of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Airway dysbiosis occurs in COPD, but whether it contributes to disease progression remains unknown. Here we showed, through a longitudinal analysis on two cohorts involving four UK centers, that basel...

Archaea are differentiated from the other two domains of life by their biomolecular characteristics. One such characteristic is the unique structure and composition of their lipids. Characterization of the whole set of lipids in a biological system (the lipidome) remains technologically challengi...

Aging has shown close link to shifts in the skin microbiome in population cohort study. However, how variations in microbial communities relate to divergent skin aging within individuals of the same chronological ages remains unclear. In this study, we performed phenotypic, metabolomic and metage...
