Host transcriptional responses to gut microbiome variation arising from urbanism

Sabrina Arif, Shreya Nirmalan, Adnan Alazizi, Henriette Mair-Meijers, Adwoa Agyei, Mary Y. Afihene, Shadrack O. Asibey, Yaw A. Awuku, Amoako Duah, Amelie Plymoth, Yvonne Nartey, Lewis Roberts, Kenneth Valles, Fatimah Ibrahim, Yvonne A. L. Lim, , Ran Blekhman

The paper compares host transcriptional responses to urban and rural gut microbiomes, finding urban microbiomes affect innate immune pathways and high-diversity microbiomes trigger stronger host responses.
