Book Review - Immunity: How Elie Metchnikoff Changed the Life of Modern Medicine by Luba Vikhanski by Andrews, J

“…Luba Vikhanski’s biography of Elie Metchnikoff chronicles his personal life and remarkable discoveries: his early interest in science, marriages, years at the Pasteur Institute, his theory of immunity and the action of cells he called ‘phagocytes’, his efforts to curb the spread of cholera and other diseases, his controversial theories on ageing and longevity and of course his research on gut microbes and influence on the global interest in yoghurt.…”

Understanding community changes in ecological systems: a probabilistic and geometric perspective by Deng, Jie

“…This principle is validated across a broad spectrum of ecological scales, from large mammals to gut microbes, through publicly available data. I believe this thesis will bring us closer to understanding the processes that influence community compositions and their changes, knowledge that holds great potential for advancing bio-conservation, bio-technologies, and bio-medicine.…”

What is unknown in using microbiota as a therapeutic? by Sung, Joseph Jao Yiu, Wong, Sunny Hei

“…Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) has been used extensively in the treatment of various gastrointestinal and extraintestinal conditions, despite that there are still a lot of missing gaps in our knowledge in the gut microbiota and its behavior. This article describes the unknowns in microbiota biology (undetected microbes, uncertain colonization, unclear mechanisms of action, uncertain indications, unsure long-term efficacy, or side effects). …”

Identification of D-arabinan-degrading enzymes in mycobacteria by Al-Jourani, O, Benedict, ST, Ross, J, Oram, S

“…Here, we identify enzymes that cleave the&nbsp;D-arabinan core of arabinogalactan, an unusual component of the cell wall of&nbsp;<em>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</em>&nbsp;and other mycobacteria. We screened 14 human gut-derived&nbsp;<em>Bacteroidetes</em>&nbsp;for arabinogalactan-degrading activities and identified four families of glycoside hydrolases with activity against the&nbsp;D-arabinan or&nbsp;D-galactan components of arabinogalactan. …”
