Short Course in the Microbiome

TL;DR: The short course was held as a four-session webinar series in April 2015, taught by pioneers and experts in the microbiome ecosystem, covering a broad range of topics from the healthy microbiome to the effects of an altered microbiome from neonates to adults and the long term effects as it is related to disease.

Salivary bacterial signatures in depression-obesity comorbidity are associated with neurotransmitters and neuroactive dipeptides

TL;DR: Together, the findings offer novel insights into oral microbial-brain connection and potential neuroactive metabolites involved and significant changes in levels of signaling molecules of microbiota, microbial or dietary derived signaling peptides and aromatic amino acids among host phenotypes are revealed.

A scale-free, fully connected global transition network underlies known microbiome diversity

TL;DR: By traversing a composition-similarity based network of 177,022 microbiomes, it is shown that although the compositions are distinct by habitat, each microbiome is on-average only seven neighbors from any other microbiome on Earth, indicating the inherent homology of microbiome at the global scale.
