Discovery of Lactomodulin, a Unique Microbiome-Derived Peptide That Exhibits Dual Anti-Inflammatory and Antimicrobial Activity against Multidrug-Resistant Pathogens
Mousa, Walaa K.; Ghemrawi, Rose; Abu-Izneid, Tareq; Ramadan, Azza; Al-Marzooq, Farah (MDPI, 2023)The human body is a superorganism that harbors trillions of microbes, most of which inhabit the gut. To colonize our bodies, these microbes have evolved strategies to regulate the immune system and maintain intestinal ... -
High-throughput sequencing reveals the structure and metabolic resilience of desert microbiome confronting climate change
Mousa, Walaa K.; Abu-Izneid, Tareq; Salah-Tantawy, Ahmed (Frontiers Media SA, 2024)Introduction: Desert ecosystems harbor a unique microbial diversity that is crucial for ecological stability and biogeochemical cycles. An in-depth understanding of the biodiversity, compositions, and functions of these ... -
Microbial dysbiosis in the gut drives systemic autoimmune diseases
Mousa, Walaa K.; Chehadeh, Fadia; Husband, Shannon (Frontiers Media S.A., 2022)Trillions of microbes survive and thrive inside the human body. These tiny creatures are crucial to the development and maturation of our immune system and to maintain gut immune homeostasis. Microbial dysbiosis is the ... -
The microbiome-product colibactin hits unique cellular targets mediating host–microbe interaction
Mousa, Walaa K. (Frontiers Media S.A., 2022)The human microbiota produces molecules that are evolved to interact with the diverse cellular machinery of both the host and microbes, mediating health and diseases. One of the most puzzling microbiome molecules is ... -
Recent Advances in Understanding the Structure and Function of the Human Microbiome
Mousa, Walaa K.; Chehadeh, Fadia; Husband, Shannon (Frontiers Media S.A., 2022)Trillions of microbes live within our bodies in a deep symbiotic relationship. Microbial populations vary across body sites, driven by differences in the environment, immunological factors, and interactions between microbial ...
