Dissecting the role of gut microbiota heterogeneity in the onset of chronic lung diseases by Ya Lin, Xiaoxiao Zhang, Ziyi Zuo, Yijia Xiao

“…And ISSMR further provided clues to the interaction of intra-tissue as well as gut microbe disturbance in IPF and COPD from synergistic or independent perspectives. In short, the MR analysis revealed a causal relationship between GM and CLDs from a host genetic perspective, and ISSMR extended the host-microbe regulatory modality from a microbe genetic perspective, thus together providing novel insights into the gut microbiota-mediated development mechanism of CLDs.…”
