Investigation of associations between the neonatal gut microbiota and severe viral lower respiratory tract infections in the first 2 years of life: a birth cohort study with metagenomics Early-life gut microbiota affects immune system development, including the lung immune response (gut–lung axis). We aimed to investigate whether gut m…

Is the gut microbiota composition in the 1st week of life linked to viral lower respiratory tract infections (vLRTIs) in early childhood? Here, work using the BBS birth cohort identifies Bifidobacterium longum-dominated cluster linked to lowest vLRTI rates

Ultra-sensitive metaproteomics redefines the dark metaproteome, uncovering host-microbiome interactions and drug targets in intestinal diseases - Nature Communications The gut microbiome is key to health, yet its protein functions remain largely unexplored. Here, the authors present uMetaP, ultra-sensitive metaproteomics workflow that combines the timsTOF Ultra and ...

>80% microb species detected by metagenomics are undetected by metaproteomics; because existing workflows rely on incomplete reference DBs, underutilize spectral data and don't robustly incorporate FDR control.
Here, a new workflow (uMetaP) seems to improve everything.
