NewsGut morphology, not just diet or phylogeny, shapes mammalian gut microbiomes
Diet and evolutionary history have long been viewed as the main drivers of the mammalian gut microbiome. However, a new study offers the first systematic evidence that gut morphology significantly influences both the structure and function of gut microbial communities.

NewsMicrobial pioneers: how bacteria shape dental implant health from day one
A new study suggests that the earliest microbes to colonize a dental implant may determine its long-term fate. Using high-resolution genomic sequencing and a 12-week clinical timeline, scientists tracked how microbial ecosystems form around new dental implants.
