Longitudinal multi-omics analyses of the gut–liver axis reveals metabolic dysregulation in hepatitis C infection and cirrhosis
The gut and liver are connected via the portal vein, and this relationship, which includes the gut microbiome, is described as the gut–liver axis. Hepatitis C virus (HCV) can infect the liver and cause fibrosi...

Open AccessModerate levels of 5-fluorocytosine cause the emergence of high frequency resistance in cryptococci
The antifungal agent 5-fluorocytosine (5-FC) is used for the treatment of several mycoses, but is unsuitable for monotherapy due to the rapid development of resistance. Here, we show that cryptococci develop r...
