Regional encoding of enteric nervous system responses to microbiota and type 2 inflammation

|
By Peng Tan, Alok Jaiswal, Shane Murphy, Eric Brown
| Science Magazine
Editor’s summary Enteric neurons of the intestine play a major role in regulating intestinal physiology. Tan et al. characterized the effect of microbiota and inflammation on the enteric nervous system in mice. The authors integrated single-cell transcriptomics across three intestinal regions with in vivo functional perturbation to uncover how microbial cues and immune signals reshape inhibitory motor neuron states and sensory neuron plasticity.

Discovery and artificial intelligence-guided mechanistic elucidation of a narrow-spectrum antibiotic - Nature Microbiology

|
By Denise B. Catacutan, Megan M. Tu, Dominique Tertigas, Michael G. Surette, Eric Brown, Brian K. Coombes
| Nature
Abstract Current clinical antibiotics are largely broad-spectrum agents that can alter the gut microbiome and promote colonization by Enterobacteriaceae, which are often drug resistant. This includes adherent-invasive Escherichia coli (AIEC), particularly in patients with inflammatory bowel disease, in which dysbiosis creates a niche for this pathogen to colonize. There is an urgent and unmet need for novel narrow-spectrum and microbiome-sparing antibiotics.
