Symbiotic gut microbes modulate human metabolic phenotypes.
Humans have evolved intimate symbiotic relationships with a consortium of gut microbes (microbiome) and individual variations in the microbiome influence host health, may be implicated in disease etiology, and affect drug metabolism, toxicity, and efficacy. However, the molecular basis of these microbe-host interactions and the roles of individual bacterial species are obscure. We now demonstra...
متن کاملHow social networks shape collective behaviours
Collective motion or swarm behaviour is the synchronized motion of groups of animals such as fish shoals or bird flocks that appear to behave as one body, continually changing shape and direction (Sumpter 2006). The first simulation model of collective motion (Aoki 1982) showed that it could emerge from local interactions between individuals. Several seminal models have since followed this prin...
متن کاملSelect: Gut Microbes
Our intestines host trillions of bacteria, most of which are beneficial to our health most of the time. Occasionally, however, a change in conditions, or the entry of a pathogenic strain, leads to disease. Recent papers shed new light onto the complex interactions that determine intestinal health and disease. Intestinal cells first come into contact with bacteria after birth, as they transition...
متن کاملCollective decision-making in microbes
Microbes are intensely social organisms that routinely cooperate and coordinate their activities to express elaborate population level phenotypes. Such coordination requires a process of collective decision-making, in which individuals detect and collate information not only from their physical environment, but also from their social environment, in order to arrive at an appropriately calibrate...
متن کاملConsumption of human milk oligosaccharides by gut-related microbes.
Human milk contains large amounts of complex oligosaccharides that putatively modulate the intestinal microbiota of breast-fed infants by acting as decoy binding sites for pathogens and as prebiotics for enrichment of beneficial bacteria. Several bifidobacterial species have been shown to grow well on human milk oligosaccharides. However, few data exist on other bacterial species. This work exa...
