BACKGROUND The gut microbiome is central to Crohn’s disease (CD) pathogenesis but the relative contribution of different environmental factors to disease compositional variation is unknown…

BACKGROUND: Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), a leading cause of liver-related morbidity and mortality, is highly prevalent in people living with HIV (PLWH).1 Microbial translocation (MT) associated with hepatic inflammation and fibrosis may play a critical role in NASH pathogenesis…

The microbiome plays a central role in intestinal inflammation in IBD. It is influenced by environmental factors included diet…

We and others have demonstrated a tight coupling between dietary intake, gut microbial ecology, and near-term alterations in cardiometabolic biomarkers in the ZOE PREDICT-1 study (Zeevi 2015; Asnicar & Berry 2021)…

BACKGROUND: Proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use has been linked to alterations in gut microbial communities, but prior studies have been limited to describing broad differences in microbial abundance…

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is highly prevalent and a leading cause of liver-related morbidity and mortality…

BACKGROUND: Coupled with well-characterized host genetic susceptibilities and environmental risk factors, alterations of gut microbial communities contribute to risk and severity of the inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) and their subtypes, Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC)…
