The paper shows that the gut microbiota of undernourished women negatively affects placental development in mice, with potential bacterial targets for improving prenatal outcomes.

This study shows that a perturbed small intestinal microbiota from stunted children can induce EED-like features in offspring through inflammation and immune changes.

This paper uses gnotobiotic mice to model microbiome repair effects in undernourished children, revealing changes in gut cell function and microbial gene expression.

This study reconstructs carbohydrate utilization pathways in human gut bifidobacteria, revealing strain-specific metabolic capabilities and validating them experimentally.

The paper investigates the role of Prevotella copri in mediating the metabolic effects of a therapeutic food for malnutrition using gnotobiotic mouse models and multi-omics analyses.
