Longitudinal changes in diet cause repeatable and largely reversible shifts in gut microbial communities of laboratory mice and are observed across segments of the entire intestinal tract

IL-6 blockade suppresses the blood-brain barrier disorder, leading to prevention of onset of NMOSD

The paper shows that IL-6 blockade with satralizumab prevents BBB disruption and lymphocyte migration induced by NMO-IgG in EAE and in vitro BBB models.

Host-age prediction from fecal microbiome composition in laboratory mice

This study predicts host age from fecal microbiome composition in mice and finds that microbiome changes slow with age, suggesting its use as an aging biomarker.

Missense mutations in the MLKL brace region lead to lethal neonatal inflammation in mice and are present in high frequency in humans.

This study identifies a missense mutation in MLKL causing lethal neonatal inflammation in mice and links it to increased frequency in human autoinflammatory disease.

Description of Schaedlerella arabinophila gen. nov., sp. nov., a D-arabinose utilizing bacterium isolated from feces of C57BL/6J mice and a close relative of Clostridium sp. ASF 502

The paper isolates and characterizes a new bacterial species, Schaedlerella arabinophila, closely related to Clostridium sp. ASF 502, from mouse feces and proposes its taxonomic reclassification.

Insights into the microbiota of Asian seabass (Lates calcarifer) with tenacibaculosis symptoms and description of sp. nov. Tenacibaculum singaporense

This study analyzes the microbiota of Asian seabass with tenacibaculosis symptoms, compares it to healthy and infected fish, and describes a new Tenacibaculum species.
