Love the one you're with: Vertebrate guts shape their microbiota

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to address question of the specificity of the composition of the microbial community of the vertebrate gut. Findings suggest that the gut of a particular vertebrate supports guilds and that many of these guilds are shared between the gut microbial communities of different vertebrates.

PIDD mediates NF-kappaB activation in response to DNA damage

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to demonstrate that PIDD plays a critical role in DNA-damage-induced NF-kappaB activation. It is found that PIDD acts as a molecular switch, controlling the balance between life and death upon DNA damage.
