Macrophages play an important role in tissue homeostasis, tissue remodeling, immune
response, and progression of cancer. Consequently, macrophages exhibit significant …

Viral nanoparticles (VNPs) encompass a diverse array of naturally occurring nanomaterials
derived from plant viruses, bacteriophages, and mammalian viruses. The application and …

Bacteriophages are the most abundant members of the microbiota and have the potential to
shape gut bacterial communities. Changes to bacteriophage composition are associated …

The human body is host to large numbers of bacteriophages (phages)–a diverse group of
bacterial viruses that infect bacteria. Phage were previously regarded as bystanders that …

Hundreds of trillions of diverse bacteriophages (phages) peacefully thrive within and on the
human body. However, whether and how phages influence their mammalian hosts is poorly …

Mounting evidence suggests that the gut microbiota contribute to colorectal cancer (CRC)
tumorigenesis, in which the symbiotic Fusobacterium nucleatum (Fn) selectively increases …

High heterogeneity of macrophage is associated with its functions in polarization to different
functional phenotypes depending on environmental cues. Macrophages remain in balanced …

Decreases in the diversity of enteric bacterial populations are observed in patients with
Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). Less is known about the virome in these …

Bacteriophages (phages) are biological entities that have attracted a great deal of attention
in recent years. They have been reported as the most abundant biological entities on the …

Bacteriophages—viruses that infect bacteria—are abundant within our bodies, but their
significance to human health is only beginning to be explored. Here, we synthesize what is …
