Journal Article
Astbury, S., Reynolds, C. J., Butler, D. K., Munoz-Sandoval, D. C., Lin, K., Pieper, F. P., …Altmann, D. M. (2022). HLA-DR polymorphism in SARS-CoV-2 infection and susceptibility to symptomatic COVID-19. Immunology, 166(1), 68-77. https://doi.org/10.1111/imm.13450

SARS-CoV-2 infection results in different outcomes ranging from asymptomatic infection to mild or severe disease and death. Reasons for this diversity of outcome include differences in challenge dose, age, gender, comorbidity and host genomic variati...

Aims: The current study investigates the role of diet in mediating the gut microbiome-cardiovascular association which has not yet been explored in humans. Methods and results: Using a two-arm dietary intervention study in healthy participants (N=7...

High intake of vegetables is linked to lower white blood cell profile and the effect is mediated by the gut microbiome (2021)
Journal Article
Menni, C., Louca, P., Berry, S. E., Vijay, A., Astbury, S., Leeming, E. R., …Valdes, A. M. (2021). High intake of vegetables is linked to lower white blood cell profile and the effect is mediated by the gut microbiome. BMC Medicine, 19, 1-10. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12916-021-01913-w

Background: Chronic inflammation, which can be modulated by diet, is linked to high white blood cell counts and correlates with higher cardiometabolic risk and risk of more severe infections, as in the case of COVID-19. Methods: Here, we assessed th... Read More about High intake of vegetables is linked to lower white blood cell profile and the effect is mediated by the gut microbiome.

Lower gut microbiome diversity and higher abundance of proinflammatory genus Collinsella are associated with biopsy-proven non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (2019)
Journal Article
Astbury, S., Atallah, E., Vijay, A., Aithal, G., Grove, J., & Valdes, A. (2020). Lower gut microbiome diversity and higher abundance of proinflammatory genus Collinsella are associated with biopsy-proven non-alcoholic steatohepatitis.

There is increasing evidence for the role of gut microbial composition in the pathogenesis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is the most serious form of NAFLD where inflammation causes liver damage tha...
