An In Vivo Microfluidic Study of Bacterial Load Dynamics and Absorption in the C. elegans Intestine

Martinus Adela Maria Gijs, Thomas Lehnert, Vittorio Viri

Caenorhabditiselegans (C. elegans) has gained importance as a model for studying host-microbiota interactions and bacterial infections related to human pathogens. Assessing the fate of ingested bacteria in the worm's intestine is therefore of great interes ...

FOXC2 controls adult lymphatic endothelial specialization, function, and gut lymphatic barrier preventing multiorgan failure

Mauro Delorenzi, Alexis Rapin, Dominique Velin

The mechanisms maintaining adult lymphatic vascular specialization throughout life and their role in coordinating inter-organ communication to sustain homeostasis remain elusive. We report that inactivation of the mechanosensitive transcription factor Foxc ...

Identification of Allobaculum mucolyticum as a novel human intestinal mucin degrader

Guido Van Mierlo

The human gut microbiota plays a central role in intestinal health and disease. Yet, many of its bacterial constituents are functionally still largely unexplored. A crucial prerequisite for bacterial survival and proliferation is the creation and/or exploi ...
