Seasonal changes in the gut microbiota can influence growth in wild pandas and may explain how these animals compensate for the lack of nutrients in leaf-eating season. A new study…
Dermatology
In order to manipulate the human microbiotas to help treat disease, scientists have to gather information about the identities of microbes and their location and arrangement in different body sites.
Dermatology
The SMGC allows researchers to classify about 85% of genetic sequences from the skin microbiota. The new study published in Nature Microbiology could offer valuable insights into skin microbiota diversity.
