Your gut is home to thousands of microbes that help break down the food you eat. But which microbes process which nutrients?
New from Purdue Biological Sciences Assistant Professor Tong Wang maps the connections between gut microbes, dietary compounds and metabolites, revealing that some food compounds are used by only a small number of microbes. The findings could help scientists develop more targeted approaches to precision nutrition and microbiome-based therapies.

Purdue researchers, led by biological sciences professor Jimmy Dooley, found that REM sleep develops in stages early in life—helping the brain map the body and refine connections over time.
The findings could also inform new approaches in robotics and offer earlier ways to detect developmental disorders.
