This study compares bacterial and viral transfer methods in mouse microbiota transplantation, finding co-housing more effective than fecal or cecal transplantation for rapid reconstitution.

This study identifies FcRn and DPP4 as human astrovirus receptors and shows that targeting these factors with existing inhibitors prevents infection in human enteroid cultures.

This study shows that sequential early-life viral infections in mice reduce antibody responses to SARS-CoV-2 vaccination while altering immune cell profiles and gut microbiota.
