SCFA biotherapy delays diabetes in humanized gnotobiotic mice by remodeling mucosal homeostasis and metabolome - Nature Communications In a previous clinical trial, the authors reported that SCFA-yielding biotherapy in adults with type 1 diabetes remodels the gut proteome and metabolome. Here, the show that colonization of the post-t...
