The paper identifies a microbial risk factor for autoimmune neuroinflammation by analyzing microbiota compositions and host immune responses in a mouse model of multiple sclerosis.

This study shows that maternal diet and gut microbiome composition affect early immune development in offspring by altering microbial colonization and immune gene expression.

The paper shows that low dietary fiber promotes colitis in genetically susceptible mice by eroding mucus, while a fiber-free diet increases anti-inflammatory metabolites, highlighting microbial function over taxa in IBD regulation.

This study shows that mucin-degrading gut bacteria influence anti-parasitic immunity by modulating host immune responses, with dietary fiber affecting this interaction.

This study shows that a low-fiber diet in SPF mice increases susceptibility to Citrobacter rodentium by altering gut microbiota and reducing mucosal barrier integrity.

This study shows that a low-fiber diet reduces susceptibility to Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella typhimurium in a microbiota-independent manner in gnotobiotic mice.
