The milk protein Mfge8 promotes fat uptake and slows gastrointestinal motility to optimize nutrient absorption.

Dietary choice per se is sufficient to modulate aging in Drosophila and through serotonergic control of peripheral metabolism.

Real-time ³³P imaging combined with specific complementation of inorganic phosphate transport in the root cap reveals this tissue’s contribution to phosphate uptake.

The gut microbiome regulates protein absorption activity in lysosome-rich enterocytes (LREs) and causes broad gene expression changes, while LRE activity also affects the microbiome.

Enteroendocrine cells sense nutrients in the gut and regulate digestive physiology but are rendered insensitive following fat ingestion due to alteration of gut microbiota.

A high-phytate-low Ca²⁺ diet causes crystal nephropathies, renal phosphate wasting, and bone disease in rats, whereas high Ca²⁺ intake ameliorates the detrimental effects of a high-phytate diet.

Combining Organs-on-Chips technology with adult intestinal organoids provides an improved model of human duodenum and a new platform for preclinical drug assessment.

Bacterial ribosomal and transfer RNAs are symbiotic clues sensed by host general control nonderepressible 2 to support Drosophila systemic growth.

The release of Acb1 protein from yeast cells requires the ESCRT-III complex to stabilize the compartment for unconventional protein secretion (CUPS).

Bacteria can exhibit herd immunity protection against phages, which may play a significant role in their ecology and evolution.
