To do this, the researchers would have to first
reconstruct a 3D
model of the dinosaur in painstaking detail, from its precise body shape to its pigmented
skin.
A few interesting articles in early life human microbiome, plus: A comparison between Staphylococcus epidermidis commensal and pathogenic lineages from the
skin of healthy individuals living in North American and India; A new tool to
reconstruct microbial genome - scale metabolic
models (GSMMs) from their genome sequence; The seasonal changes in Amazon rainforest soil microbiome are associated with changes in the canopy; A specific class of chemicals secreted by birds modulates their feather microbiome; chronic stress alters gut microbiota and triggers a specific immune response in a mouse
model of colitis; and evidence that the short chain fatty acids profile in the gut reflects the impact of dietary fibre on the microbiome using the PolyFermS continuous intestinal fermentation
model.
The lab has developed a complex, three - dimensional
model that mimics human
skin, and are using it to
reconstruct each step in the melanoma development and progression cascade.
