Increasing Care for Underserved Communities Through a Global Health Residency Training Program.

Global health education is important for addressing health inequities nationally and internationally. Physician shortages in underserved areas suggest more exposure during training is needed. To study the impact of a global health training program on residents' perceived preparedness and intention to care for underserved populations.

Transkingdom interactions between Lactobacilli and hepatic mitochondria attenuate western diet-induced diabetes.

Western diet (WD) is one of the major culprits of metabolic disease including type 2 diabetes (T2D) with gut microbiota playing an important role in modulating effects of the diet. Herein, we use a data-driven approach (Transkingdom Network analysis) to model host-microbiome interactions under WD to infer which members of microbiota contribute to the altered host metabolism. Interrogation of this network pointed to taxa with potential beneficial or harmful effects on host's metabolism.
